About this hunt

This is a semi-guided economy hunt for a Maine whitetail buck with additional opportunities. The black bear season overlaps with firearm season on deer in Maine and IFW allows hunters to take a late-season, fair chase bear during the deer hunt. While not the primary species on this hunt, every camp usually has at least one hunter come in contact with a black bear while deer hunting here. Big northeastern coyotes & foxes are also prevalent in the area and provide added hunting value. You'll hunt 5 days minimum, arrival and departure days are limited due to check in/out times. No Sunday hunting in Maine. We'll help get you set up on good sign and you'll hunt on your own. We'll also help with field care and tagging if you are successful. We can provide you a stand or blind, or you can bring your own. This is hunt is a popular option for experienced deer hunters looking to save a few dollars. The concept of this hunt is for clients to pursue what they wish any given day. Hunt deer for a couple days, take a shotgun for a day and hunt upland birds, or hunt in our pre-set stands or blinds that have bear and predator activity. It is really designed as an affordable way to just hunt the big woods of Maine on your own schedule. All meals and lodging are included. We serve meals in the chow hall with both a sit down breakfast 9 - 11 am and supper when all hunters have returned from the field. For hunters staying in the field all day, we provide hot breakfast sandwiches and a bag lunch to grab early on the way out each day. Hunters are basically in control of their day, choosing what they wish to do. We have pre-positioned stands and blinds throughout the hunt area (logging country) that all hunters are welcome to use. Some prefer to do a mix of stalking, still hunting and stand hunting. Again, hunter choice. We use HuntStand and clients can join to see the location of all spots.

Ultimately, success depends largely on the hunter. Discipline on stand, commitment to the hunt and heeding advice from your guide will ensure the highest possibility of a successful outcome for your hunt. We take great strides to ensure you have a quality hunt and the best opportunity. From preseason scouting to regular trail camera monitoring, we make every effort to ensure you have a hunt of a lifetime. No ethical outfitter or guide service will guarantee success, but we can and do guarantee you will be hunting an active area with proven sign. Make no mistake, hunting Maine whitetail is a tough - but the challenge (and reward) of taking a 200+ pound, thick beamed buck from the ridges and bogs of northeast Maine keeps hunters coming back year after year, regardless of the outcome of their hunt. Join them for an experience you'll never forget.
