BLACK BEAR - NOT A PLEASANT PERSONALITY
The Black Bear is seen by many as a more cuddly bear than the Brown Bear. Nothing could be farther from the truth. Many persons are seriously hurt when they feed a black bear and attempt to retreat once "no more" food remains. Bears do not like to see a food source leave their eye sight and will attack. Many residents are surprised and MANY ARE ATTACKED as they "bring out the trash" in the back yard at dusk. Bears love to rummage. Bears living near neighborhoods have "learned" that humans do not eat all their dinner! Humans are the most wasteful of all creatures. Bears have also learned that those cans and trash bags often represent incredible variety and food for the cubs.

WELCOME TO THE WORLD OF THE BLACK BEAR
and to the Guides who find these elusive creatures.
|
 |
| Hunters have not experienced the full "thrill of the long bow" until guided by Eldon Jandreau, actually known affectionately as "Long Bow." Eldon says "the joy of taking someone into the forests of Maine clearly puts everyone on equal footing. I've sat in the woods for days and never seen a bear. Big Game in Maine is elusive and sometimes just SEEING such an animal has been nearly as important as participating in the harvest." |
|
|
 |
| Travelling to remotely-located bait sites daily, Hunter's Point Guide Services uses GMC pick-ups, one of which shows 267,000 miles (and ALL on nearly impassable tote roads in Maine's rugged wilderness). |
|
|
 |
| CLICK to visit GMC Trucks. Guide Eldon says "Ten ply tires and a truck built to travel ANY terrain...ANY season is critical for safety as well as for business." |
|

| CLICK on Long Bow to see 16 minutes of the new STICK & STRING PILOT. |

 |
| Guide Eldon Jandreau's house is perched high... overlooking the lake in Aroostook County. As with all guides, persons like Eldon Jandreau create excitement just by their presence. These guides are natural beneficiaries of being among wilderness inhabitants...by truly participating in the world around us. Guides - for the most part - have learned to "smell the roses." |

| Bait Barrels are stored in the archery range. |
|
|
 |
| Manually, the bait is transferred to EACH location! Each owner has his or her own bait preferences. Eldon likes to "bait heavily. If a small bear comes and eats to his desire and later, that big 600-pound bear arrives and eats as well...then we have multiple bears accustomed to checking the location. This assures hunters a better experience." |
