Maine Bear Hunting

Have a Professional Maine Bear Hunting Guide show you the best black bear habitat in the Northeast, hundreds of thousands of acres in Northern Maine.

Black bears can be hunted in Maine using a variety of methods during a 16-week fall Maine Bear Hunting Season opening on the last Monday in August and closing the last Saturday in November. During the first 4 weeks (primarily the month of September), bears can be hunted over bait with the assistance of a Maine Bear Hunting Guide. Maine Bear can pursued with hounds for six weeks (mid-September to end of October), and can still hunt or stalk bears the entire 16 week season.
