This bear led hunters and hounds on a merry chase

BANGOR DAILY NEWS • September 28, 2024

Ezra Dean, a guide for Grove Hill Outfitters in Brownville, had his eye on this bear for two years. The large boar kept showing up on cameras during overnight hours. Dean has tried over the last two years to help his clients nab it. He tried to get it during trapping season, but the bear simply moved to another area. He tried to get it over bait, but the bear stopped showing up at any of the bait sites. There was one option left. Hounds. And Pastor Mike Spencer of New York state, who was part of a group of pastors from Faith Bible College International hunting in Maine for the week, got it done.
