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.

RE: Maine moose
Yes, Southern half of Washington County below Route 9. I believe the only season is the second week there with bulls only. This is a hard season to call them in. I live in the Northern half so I am checking a few
guides out. If I was you I would want one that knows his stuff and not
just says so. There is afew good areas there, The Dennisville River
area and the Love Lake area, to name a couple. If you still want it checked into let me know and when a good one is found I will let you
know by PM.

RE: Maine moose
Thanks for the replies fellas. We dont have 4-5 days to go up and scout.
I started new job this year and instead of my 6 weeks of vac, I get 2.
Hunting out west is almost out of the question now. I have been up
there once before to hunt partridge during the moose hunt and everyone
just seemed to be driving the logging roads. Want to find a guy who
knows where the clearcuts are and can do some calling. Have sent
off quite a few emails to leads that I got over on the maine site, but
any other leads will still be appreciated.
