Northeast Wilderness Outfitters offers traditional guided moose hunts in the Western Mountains and Rangeley Lakes Region of Maine. This region provides excellent moose habitat with a mixture of timber, regenerating cuts, and remote wilderness areas that consistently hold moose throughout the season. Our experienced Maine guides use a combination of calling, spot-and-stalk, and still-hunting techniques depending on conditions and moose activity. The abundance of active wood cuts in the area provides ideal feeding and travel corridors, allowing our guides to effectively locate and call mature bulls during the season.
Northeast Wilderness Outfitters offers guided black bear hunts in the remote forests of western Maine. This region provides ideal habitat for black bears, with vast timberlands, regenerating cuts, and natural food sources that support a healthy and sustainable bear population. Our hunts are designed to give hunters several effective and traditional methods to pursue black bear. Hunters may choose between baited site hunts, limited hound hunts, or trapping adventures, each offering a unique approach to bear hunting in Maine’s big-woods environment.
Whitetail deer hunting in Maine offers a unique challenge compared to many other parts of the country. With vast forests and remote terrain, Maine deer are truly wild and require patience, skill, and experience to pursue successfully. At Northeast Wilderness Outfitters, hunters may choose from several proven methods, including tracking, spot-and-stalk, or stand hunting, depending on conditions and personal preference. Tracking mature bucks through fresh snow is a long-standing Maine tradition and one of the most rewarding ways to hunt whitetails in the Northwoods.
Maine has developed a strong reputation for spring wild turkey hunting as populations continue to expand across the state. Northeast Wilderness Outfitters offers guided turkey hunts in central Maine, where a mix of hardwood ridges, farmland, and open fields creates ideal turkey habitat. Our guides are experienced turkey hunters who specialize in locating birds and calling them into range. Hunters may choose to allow the guide to handle the calling or call birds themselves if they prefer a more hands-on experience.
