You must have been stationed at Loring??? Its now a big industrial park and wildlife refuge..
Lots of deer along the little black. Lots of big deer but high hunting pressure.

RE: Where to hunt in Northern Maine
Looking for information and found entertainment!
After you waded through all of the chest pounding and other BS (I include myself in that), I guess you could gleen that deer hunting in northern Maine is hard work. Don't come here if you expect to see 30 deer a day, want to sit over a food plot in a heated house, or will be offended if you see someone with a spikehorn. Be prepared to be wet, cold, tired, and footsore. Be prepared to cover a lot of ground, see a lot of red squirrels, and fir trees. You might see nothing or you might see the deer of your dreams. You'll be able to wander until your heart is content.
You might also gleen that there are better areas than the Eagle Lake unit but that isn't a bad place. If you were looking for "go to mile 17 on the Pennington Road, hunt the ridge/swamps on the south side, and you'll kill a 200 pounder" well.....
I've said my peace on this thread.

Mr 45-70,
If you are going to hunt on your own you need to listen to Moosehorn hunter. What he is telling you is by far the best way to get a big Maine buck.
What he told you in a few sentences is exactly what those phony Benoits charge a few hundred dollars for at a "seminar". Those guys hunt every day of every season in 2 or 3 states plus Quebec. If you couldn't kill a buck every year by doing that, then you may as well stay home.
Champlain Islander,
If those loggers took their share of the road, they would take it all, it's their road. You have no share, BE CAREFUL.

We should clear up that myth right now. They havent hunted Maine in 4-5 years either I got that straight from Shane.

RE: Where to hunt in Northern Maine
hal blood runs a camp near jackman. ive hunted with him a couple years back for snowshoe hares. dont know much about his deer hunting skills but he did rub me a little wrong on a hunt i booked with him. i booked a group to snowshoe hare hunt with him using his dogs months in advance and then when i showed up he tried to throw in another group of hunters with us. i specifically asked months before that the 4 people in my group be the only ones as i had a youngster in the group and wanted a quality hunt and not overwhelm with an army of shooters and people we didnt know. he wanted to take like 10 guys out hunting.i hate outfitters going back on what was agreed upon. i guess he thought now that we were there he had us and we would have to agree. its not like he wasnt getting paid well. i think i will skip on his book.

Are you looking to hunt for deer? The deer in northern maine usually have some size to them. Although they are few and far between, especially in those places that moose habitat. Moose and deer do not cohabitat very well and deer will move on. Southwestern Maine or southern part of state will produce some results for you.
