Northern Maine has LOTS of land open to the public and there are some very large bucks but it can be very tough hunting. The deer density is low (5-10 per sq mile) but if you hunt funnels it can still be very productive. I've been huting up North for 16 years and I can only think on 1 instance where I saw another hunter in the woods that wasn't part of our party so to say the least hunting pressure is very light.

Non resident tag runs 55$ I believe but there is no lottery. Just walk in and buy one.
