RE: Maine moose
would encourage you to consider a self hunt. If you have 4-5 days to scout pre-season. moose are relatively abundant, and fun to hunt w/out a guide. A friend and I hunted western Maine several years ago and had ample opportunities on some nice bulls. Practice your calling, be in the cuts at dawn and dusk-- and keep moving around-- there are moose everywhere. I've done the guide thing several times, I just find it more exciting, challenging when you can self-hunt. just a suggestion.
