Maine Guides
There are around 4,000 licensed guides
in Maine, most operating as small
independent businesses that offer
visitors a highly personal and customized
experience. They’ll take you to special
places you couldn’t have otherwise
found, offer equipment, advice and
instruction; then they step aside and
let you enjoy the action.
When you explore the woods and waters
of the Kennebec Valley in the company
of a Registered Maine Guide, you can be
assured of a first-class outdoor experience.
Cast for native brook trout on a remote
pond, hunt for deer on a frosty autumn
morning, raft a roaring river, hike a quiet
wilderness trail, pitch a comfortable camp
in a forest of spruce and fir, canoe a scenic
stretch of river and watch for moose.
The list goes on, and on, and on. Find a
professional guide at MaineGuides.com.
Be prepared; for the thrill of a lifetime.
Before you hunt:
If you are going to hunt in Maine, we
encourage you to do your research and
get the correct credentials for your
planned quarry. Anyone hunting in
Maine must possess the proper license;
there are many different types for the
hunting of different species. So plan
ahead for what you’re going to do,
where you’re going to stay and what
you’re going to hunt.
Please visit Maine.gov to purchase
your license before you arrive. We
also encourage anyone new to the
sport of hunting to consider using
a Registered Maine Guide. (See above.)

HUNTING and FISHING .
There’s a reason that sportsmen continue to take advantage of the traditional relaxing
hospitality and hunting experience that Maine has to offer. Consider yourself invited
to come and experience the time-honored tradition for yourself.
Those who prefer to hunt avian species will find untold opportunities here for world-
class duck hunting on our lakes and pheasant hunting in the tall grasses throughout
the region in early fall. Due to the efforts of our state to restore the wild turkey, we
are now also seeing a new breed of hunter come into our region during turkey season.
Plus, the word is that more exotic species are also being bagged in the region too.
And what would the hunt be without a great place to hang your hat at the end
of the day? Our location and the wide range of camps and resorts make our
region the ideal destination for those traveling to get the big one. Our hospitality
is considered second to none to the many sportsmen who come year after year.
With warm soft beds, great home-cooked meals and the best guides in Maine,
what more could a sportsman want?
Whether you seek upland birds, Maine black bear, deer, the wily coyote or Maine’s
popular big game target, the moose, the Kennebec Valley is ready and waiting.
