Remember if you want to help in selling some raffle tickets, get them here.
Also if you can't make the Expo, you can get yours here also.
Six day Bear Hunt in Maine Also great fishing and predator hunting.

Just wondering, but is the hunt a 6 day hunt or a 3 day as listed on the tickets we are selling??
-
I think its a 5 day hunt,
Arrive sunday and depart the following saturday before noon.
L2F could confirm
-
There was a misprint on the tickets. It is 6 days.
-
You would arrive on Sunday afternoon and stay til Sat leaving before noon
Basically you could hunt Mon-Fri (5 days)
-
Thanks for the extra info guys! ::)
-
Can I bring the tickets I've sold to the expo or do you need them before that?
-
Dave,
I'm sure Joe will take them at the convention for you.
Looking forward to meeting you
-
I look forward to seeing you guys as well.
-
Did you make it?
We didn't see you
-
Not much time left
anyone who has tickets to sell, now is the time to really push them
anyone who hasn't bought theirs yet, Its time to get your chance at some great prizes
I'd hate to see the bear hunt not take in as much as it should, this is a dream for most of us.
The fury is a great call,
and who wouldn't want another rifle?
Not to mention the guys who made these prizes possible, and the potential for the club
to boost its finances

PPHA BEAR HUNT INFO:
The hunting range is in the following townships T5R14, T5R15, T4R14, T3R12 & T3R13 WELS in the West Branch Region, which can be viewed in the Maine Gazetteer Atlas on pages 49 & 50
A full month of pre-baiting and site preparation has been done before the opening day of the bear season to ensure only the highest quality hunts and plenty of active bait sites are available. All attempts will be made to put each hunter on a bait site that has NOT been used during the current hunting season. The vast wilderness of the area allows for an exceptional amount bears in this range, numerous of these bears being in the 200 – 300+ weight class.
The Hunt will take place starting every afternoon and going into the early evening, allowing you to enjoy the morning for fishing, in our many lakes, ponds and streams or just for sight seeing.
Coyote season is also open during this time for you to take advantage of (NO hunting from our bear sites). Remember there have been wolves reported in this area, so know your target. For rules, regulation, License and permits concerning all hunting contact Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife at http://www.state.me.us/ifw for complete information.
GENERAL INFORMATION:
All bear hunts are for 5 days and 6 nights. You will arrive on a Sunday afternoon and leave Saturday before noon.
A Professional Maine Guide will transport you to and from your bait site every day to assist you and to ensure your safety. The guides will assist you in game care, locating harvested animals along with many of your other needs. A freezer will be available at the camp.
Baits sites will be active and ready to go, complete with Tree Stands and / or Ground Blinds. Tree stands will be set at 12-16 feet high and will be placed 25-60 yards for firearm hunters and within 25 Yards for the archery hunter. Tree stand hunters, a SAFETY HARNESS is REQUIRED for this hunt, please bring one with you. We are also recommending the use of a high powered rifle for a clean kill.
