More about us
Our company was established in 2014 and operates in 1 territory.
- Offering four season recreation in the Maine Highlands, we are a different kind of outfitter. Our goal is to provide the kind of hunting trips and experiences that are usually out of reach for the working hunter.
- We believe in the tradition of hunting and the proud heritage that goes with it. Here, you will not only find prime habitat for the game you seek, you will be immersed in it. We place values, ethics, integrity and safety above all, so you’ll never have to worry about who you may find yourself in camp with.

We take great strides to ensure you have the opportunity to take a Maine black bear.

The Lodge
Hunting camp is far more than a place to sleep when you aren’t on stand. It is a place of camaraderie, union of spirit and legacy building. The TRO Lodge boasts plenty of room for large groups featuring a full kitchen with appliances and a full bath on each level. Multiple propane wall heaters and a wood stove provide a comfortable, traditional hunting lodge feel. Enjoy the spacious deck, cook on the grill and have a camp fire in the stone fire pit. All guided hunts include lodging and meals on the American Plan.

Great hunt. Great support
Great food.
That the left government only allow you to hunt 1 bear a year despite there are too many bears.
Good hunting experience
The guide was excellent as were accommodations and food.
I didn't like that I did not get a bear, but that's understandable--it is hunting after all. Still a great experience.
Uncooperative Weather
Spending quality time with the Outfitter and the other hunters in camp.
Weather, rain from the hurricanes kept the bear hold up.
