Black bear hunting is supported by this Maine Citizen, along with all traditional hunting methods including bear hunting over bait, hunting with hounds, and bow hunting for bear.
Black bear are very difficult to hunt in Maine regardless of method. Only about one in four of all bear hunters are successful.
Maine has an increasing number of black bear, even as habitat in many parts of the state are cleared for housing and commercial real estate development.
