Black Bear

Black bear hunting over bait in Northern Penobscot and Aroostook counties during the 2025 season. Hunt from a mix of tree stands and ground blinds set up for both firearm and archery hunters. Baits sites are pre-baited starting 30 days before the start of the season and tended throughout the baiting and trapping seasons. Sites are set up in a way to encourage daylight activity as well as to attract and hold as many bears as possible throughout the season.
