Bear Hunting

                                                         

The Jackman area has a large population of black bear, many reaching trophy size. In Maine, the average adult black bear runs between 150 and 200 pounds. Here at Cedar Ridge Outfitters our bear weights have been averaging 200 pounds, and every year we take a few over 300 pounds. Our bear baiting is done in remote areas with no competition from the other outfitters. Our fall hunt starts the end of August and goes into September and is limited to a small group of hunters. Our stands will accommodate rifle -- bow -- muzzle loader and handgun. Our remote hunt is limited to 5 hunters.

"We wanted you to know that for the 4th time at your place we had a wonderful time. Bruce and I always take these trips as you know. But this year bringing my daughter Amanda with us was the best trip I think I have ever had. It was so relaxing and fulfilling as a father to set in the stand with her and watch her eyes light up as she saw the fisher's and other animal's. Tell Hal, Kevin and Tommy the guides, that I appreciate the efforts that they put into this season. Those guys really made Amanda feel right At home."Tony Irving

"For myself, without taking a bear this year I could say it wasn't a success, but that is far from the truth. Please, let me explain how I see my total experience for the week spent at Cedar Ridge as both gratifying and successful. I know success is sometimes measured in pounds or by the numbers taken, but to apply those same measures to last weeks hunt would be to blindly say it was less than it was. Just to measure the experience in those terms says nothing about northern Maine's spectacular views, the accommodations available to us, the gourmet meals overly enjoyed by all nor does it speak to the professionalism of the guides and staff who help to make it such a fulfilling time while with Cedar Ridge Outfitters. The making of new friends and the renew of old friendships. The time I got to spent with the other hunters, their spouses, the guides and the staff, whether it was traveling to or from our stands for that evenings hunt or dinning on Debbie's gourmet meals helped us to grow closer over the week as we listened and shared our story's of the night's hunt with each other."Frank Harrison

"Just a quick note to let you know I had a great time as your guest for the past week!   The food and accommodations were great!  The scenery was breathtaking and people were friendly and down to earth.  And on top of all that, I was fortunate enough to bag a beautiful Maine black bear!  It is an experience I shall never forget as long as I live. Please pencil my name in for next year and include my wife (as a non hunter) and my son as well!"Bob Pajerowski
