To book a hunt call the number in the Facebook link or pm me and I can assist you with details and booking. I’ve hunted with Tomah Joseph Outfitters several times now and look for to hunting with them again this year and many more springs to come. It’s a great hunt and with the Canadian boarder closed you can enjoy a spring bear hunt here in the states.
June is mating season for the bears and the Boars are on the move. Book your soon

Sounds like a good deal. Must be a lot of Bear in that area.
I've often thought of looking into a bear trapping/hunting trip in Maine.

There are. Many hunters see several bear. One of my friends saw 7 different bear come in the one evening he shot a big boar in the last few minutes of legal shooting time.

I have hunted bear and moose with them several times and have always been satisfied. Never been skunked They are a great operation and a nice family business, After being cooped up for a year sounds like a good time

My experience has been the same Delaware.

Do they offer bear trapping?
How hard is it to get a Moose permit in this part of Maine?

I’ll pm you Roger’s number. Best time to get ahold of him is between 6 and 8 pm. I shot a moose with him last fall. It was a fantastic hunt. Called him right in.

What's the average sized bear?

They run about the same as Ontario I have personally shot a 360 which is my best to date several 280-300 and a couple of smaller ones that were no braggers. I was in camp a few years ago and a guy from Pennsylvania shot a 430, a beauty. Then there is the guys that blast the first bear they see and go home with a 100 pounder. If they are happy with that then so be it.

They bait with sweets in plastic barrels jammed full of logs to make the bear work for their dinner offering time to judge and giving the hunter shot opportunity.

sounds awesone

Guides are fun guys to hang around with.

Still have spots available. Be here before you know it.

So how big will a typical 300lb bear stretch out to? 6'?

The bear that I got I had a full body mount done with it It stands 5 feet 4 inches tall and is not standing fully upright. It is sometimes tough to give a across the board answer I have seen 250 pound butter balls and I have seen Long and lanky bears also. I prefer the spring hunts over the later fall hunts due to the fact the coats are much Softer and denser than the ones that I have shot in the fall in other places
