[QUOTE="nchunter182, post: 1450882, member: 42015"] Just returned from a spring hunt and wanted to give a recommendation to the outfitter we used. Matagamon Wilderness was the outfitter and can highly recommend them if you are looking for a NE bear hunt. They offer both spring and fall hunts. Hunting is done over bait in VERY thick woods so this is not a long range hunt. Shots will range from 20-75 yards depending on where they put you. Both tree stands and ground blinds are used. Would be a good opportunity for bow hunters also as they have stands that are set up for bow hunters. I shot my bear with a rifle at 22 yards from one of these stands. They even have ground blinds that will accommodate a wheelchair bound hunter. The lodge and some of the cabins are also wheel chair accessible which is a nice feature if you are a disabled hunter. The people there are great and really make you feel welcome. Food was fantastic!!! There were 5 hunters in camp this past week. 3 tagged out, 1 shot but didn't recover and 1 didn't get a shot. He saw a big boar but it didn't stick around the barrel long enough to get on him. The week before there were 6 hunters in camp. 4 tagged out and one passed on a small bear. Maine bears are not real big but they seem to have plenty of them. I'm told the average is around 150#. My spring bear was a small 130# boar and one I took in fall 2016 was 200#. They have taken +400# bears out of that area and have some nice mounts in the lodge. I saw several sows with first year cubs so the future is looking good! Jay [/QUOTE]
