mainehunter895 Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 Is anyone interested in coming up to maine for a bear hunt? Either over bait or running with hounds? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colorado bob Posted March 9, 2012 Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 I would be all over this if I lived back east. To long of a drive from Colorado and I've already have a couple of bear skin rugs. Everyone seems to want a color phase bear, I have killed 2 here in Colorado, a blonde & a cinnamon-----never have killed a black one.

mainehunter895 Posted March 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 yeah once you shoot a few I guess its not something you go out of your way to do! How big was your bears? I've never got to shoot one. Been too busy to do so. But hopefully this year! My husband has got two and we have them both mounted.. But if you ever want to come up to hunt anything or knows of anyone let me know! We love meeting new people and hunting is our love! We have a guides service up here in maine. If you would like you can go to countryboyzguideservice.com and you can see some of what we do up here! BL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colorado bob Posted March 9, 2012 Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 My taxidermist kept records of his bear rugs. Seems like the average was @5' 4"---nose tip to the end of the tail. My blonde was 5'. My cinnamon is 5' 11". They were both spring bears. The blonde was a sow, the cinnamon was a boar. I'd guess he was @ 200 lbs , fall weight I'd guess 300 or so. I shot him the last day of April, he was one of the earliest that the taxidermist done. My buddy shot a monster off my bait site. 6' 6" charcoal black. It just missed B/C by an 1/8 of an inch. It was a fall bear, had 2" to 3" of fat-----he was pushing 550 lbs. I'm really thinking about taking Steve up on the Prince of Wales offer. I would love to get a 7' er. My rule of thumb that a 6' black bear----is a good bear. Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
