Hey everyone, I am looking for some info for deer hunting in Maine. I thought this would be a fun subsitute for elk hunting out west. Let me explain:
I have a baby coming soon, and have a 16, 14, and 2 yo to go with that one. Funds are tight. My buddy also has 1 1/2 old twins and a 5 year old, so he is strapped as well. I think our trip west will have to be postponed for awhile.
I started looking for some alternative to our annual Wisconsin deer trip. My buddy has a cabin and property, so our cost is mainly gas, food, and license. I can make that trip for around $300 or so.
I found a couple of places in Maine that include lodging, meals, and guided or semi guided hunts for generally around $400-$600. This, plus license, gas, and a hotel for trip up I am guess will put me in the $800-$900 range. I think this is possible for next season.
Now, my question-

Any one know of good camps/outfitters in the Maine area? I have found a couple online and they should be mailing me more information. Perhaps anyone has heard of these places? If so, any and all thoughts/opinions/reviews would be welcome.
Thanks everyone!
