Maine’s Black Bear Hunt is in Jeopardy
There is a movement to ban the 3 most effective ways to hunt bear in Maine. In fact it looks like this referendum will go before voters November of 2014. Those in favor of the ban could take away our right to hunt bear over bait, to hunt bear with hounds and to trap bear. Lugdon Lodge is in favor of a humane hunt and the maintenance of a healthy bear population. The Lugdon Lodge wants to encourage voters to oppose the proposed referendum and allow our public, professional biologists to continue to manage Maine’s bear population with our nationally recognized bear management program. We will continue to post information and links for more information. For now, you can check out the Sportsman’s Alliance of Maine and the Maine Professional Guides Associations site concerning this very important issue. www.savemainesbearhunt.com
