Serpent’s Edge Outdoor Education and Guide Service
Black bear hunting over bait in Northern Penobscot and Aroostook counties during the opening week of the 2025 season.
Hunt price $2500 a hunter $1000 a non hunting guest
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 through the season regardless of how many hunters are booked.
We only book a limited number of hunters per week to ensure the best possible odds of success
Hunt includes
● 7-day / 6-night primitive camp lodging (Tents and cots provided; hunters are allowed to bring their tents if desired) ● Meals ( breakfast, lunch, dinner ) and Non-alcoholic beverages are included. ● A 100-yard range is available to check the zero of your chosen hunting weapon (Guides are available to help with weapon issues that occurred during transportation, they are experienced in the proper setup and use of rifles, muzzleloaders, pistols, and bows.) ● A licensed Maine Guide
● Transportation to and from hunting areas ● Recovery and field care of harvested game ( including skinning and quartering if required) ● Transportation of harvested game to the closest check station and local game processor from provided processor lists if desired.
Not Included in Hunt price: ● All applicable licenses and tags required for the hunt. ● Personal hunting gear ● Chosen hunting weapon and / or ammunition ● Taxidermy / processing fees
All rifles must be of at least .243 (6mm) caliber and shoot appropriate hunting ammunition ( I recommend heavy for caliber bonded or monolithic projectiles) I recommend hunters use the largest caliber firearm they are COMFORTABLE AND ACCURATE with. I would much rather see someone with a .243 shooting a quality 100gr bullet that can hit a tennis ball every shot off a set of sticks than someone with a .338 Win mag that struggles to keep their shots inside a pie plate.
Archery, Pistol and Black powder hunters are welcome
All hunters will be required to prove proficiency with their selected hunting implement before hunting.
