This November 4, Maine citizens will vote on a number of important issues.





One of the most critical is Question 1 which asks if you want to ban hunting bears with bait, traps, and dogs. The result will have a serious impact on Maines economy, rural communities, and the bears themselves.
We are a group of Maine citizens who are deeply concerned about the fact that a large number of well-intentioned Mainers, many of them non-hunters, are uninformed, or misinformed, of the science and facts involved. If you intend to vote on Question 1, we ask that you take a few minutes to read the information on this site. It is provided to help you make a truly informed decision.
