Maine Bear Hunting
« on: August 22, 2009, 04:58:00 AM »
Just checking to see how many are heading to Maine to hunt bear. My brother and I will be hunting with Eldon Jandreau (Hunters Point Guide Service) the second week of the season. This will be my second time hunting with Eldon. He puts on a great hunt. I can't wait. God bless, Scott.

My wife Laura and I will be up the third week.

Here's my favorite picture of my bride. That is Eldon with her and her first bowkill from about 3 seasons ago.

You won't meet a nicer guy! Eldon & Jimmy Domont are tops in my book.

I'll be up that way for the third week along with some other WV friends.  Scott, sure wish we could have made it the same week! This will be my fourth hunt with Eldon and I cannot imagine how anybody could offer a better experience.  He has been a great guy to deal with in every way over the years I have known and hunted with him.....Dave

Dave: It will be good to finally meet you since we will be there the same week. It seems that over the past several years we must have passed each other on the Maine Tpke.

Longbowben: You are so right about the Thermacells. Almost as important as your archery gear.

Here's another pic. It's Marty Macmahon, Eldon and one of Marty's friends, Daniel, who shot his first bear. Can't remember Dan's last name but he was a great kid (about 21 or so).  It's funny how Eldon almost always gets in the picture.

That young fella is Daniel Widdick- he is now my son-in-law! Still waiting for that Bear Rug from that year! Hope it comes soon, poor guy. Have fun with Eldon.

Marty: That's nice to have Dan for a son-in-law. Laura thought he was a "really nice" guy, as did I. Actually you were all rather nice to be around that week.  Hope you all have a good season.

I'll be up the last week.  I've been hearing from my guide that the blackberries are off and the bears are sturring. This will be my second trip, took my first bear last year.

The word earlier on from Eldon was that the natural food supply is minimal this year. That typically translates into good hunting over the baits. Laura and I have not yet taken a bear on the same trip. We are hoping for a "twofer" this year.

OOOH I  know that one!! Shot a hundred pounder- OK- 2 one hundred pounders on a trip with Biggie and the Wensel's- they said my skins would make a good toilet seat covet and the skulls were a nice set of ear rings! Does that help?

Eldon is a great guy. Tell him John from kansas City says hello. A word of caution, if you miss a shot hold onto your shirt,it may end up with out it's tail.Never know what the bears will be eating.Eldon puts up nice stands because he is a trad hunter and knows what he is doing.
