    Probably not.
    When an outfit has 100% success due to bait and cameras and all that’s left to the hunter is hitting a target then that’s my loose interpretation of a canned hunt. I’m not knocking it Im just comparing hunting bear in Maine vs Maryland. I’ve done both so I’m truly not starting nothing or throwing stones.

    LOL, not sure your definition of a " canned hunt" is the same as that in common use.

    Good luck to everybody who will start bear hunting tomorrow!
    Same to you my friend. We were able to find a couple places to hunt public land thanks to Park Ranger. Whether or not it pays off, we are still very greatful for his help.

    Outrider took this pic of me when we were scouting. He said if I go in about 20 minutes after him, the real bears will follow me and he can bag one. Something about doing the forum a favor. I don’t get it, but I’m a team player.

    I got drawn twice before in the lottery and my one son once. The past few years I didnt sign up for the draw because of no hunting partners anymore. My friend at work is with his daughter near Green Ridge staying in his camper. His daughter got drawn this year. I wish you all the best of luck and Outrider go get em.

    Never field dressed a bear, but done plenty of deer. Anatomy is all the same for the innards...

    You didn’t by chance check into the Comfort Inn Grantsville at about 3:15pm today did you? I saw two bear hunters checking in, and though we’ve never met I’ve seen a couple pics of you on the deer threads and one of the guys looked a lot like those pics, blue Ram truck? Just curious, if so I was the bearded guy with glasses in the blue flannel shirt checking in right behind you, white Chevy lifted truck. If not, never mind and good luck this week to you both.

    I have ZERO problem with others hunting and understand it's even good for the population. BUT.......I couldn't shoot a bear. They are just too darned cute. Sooooooo, good luck to you guys. I sincerely wish you success.
