Black Bear Trapping

Maine is the only place on the North American continent where the trapping of bear is still legal. Our bear trapping experience consists of 2 bait sites to trap off and a cabin to stay in. Trappers must provide their own transportation and trapping supplies. We trap off baits that have already been hunted over, where the bear is too smart for a hunter. This usually is a larger, older bear that has learned that he is safe only if he comes to feed after dark. We have had success with both leg hold traps and cable snares.

State record trapped bear 590 pounds
