Sportsman's Pride Outfitters, Black Bear Hunting in New Brunswick and Maine

Moose Hunting   

 

WOUND POLICY

If you shoot a bear on a bait and wound the bear, you will continue to hunt that same bait for the remainder of the week. If you wound a second time, your hunt is over. If you have not shot a bear, this does not mean you will be hunting one bait for the week. You will be hunting productive bait sites and we are very aggressive in moving hunters to get you your bear.

Please Note:

A release form will be signed by each client upon arrival before hunt begins.

No guarantees on kills. We guarantee active bait sites.
No Refunds. Deposits can be transferred to another year or date if requested more than 30 days prior to scheduled hunt.

MOOSE HUNTING

 

Sportsman’s Pride Outfitters LLC also offers fully guided Trophy Moose Hunting in zone 3 in Maine. Hunting for moose in zone 3 is a 3 week season. First week is at the end of Sept., 2nd week is beginning of Oct. and the 3rd is the first week of Nov.  Each client must apply for a moose permit thru Fish and wildlife. The drawings are held in June. We offer fully guided bow hunting packages along with firearm packages. Bow hunters need bow hunting guides to accommodate the bow hunter and his needs. The first 2 weeks are during the rut and the Nov. hunt is all about hunting the food sources. This is where we differ from all other outfitters for moose in Maine. I’m not an outfitter that sends out mass mailings to all lucky recipients of the moose drawing like a lot of other outfitters. They advertise that they hunt in many zones. They are strictly hiring outside guides and playing the numbers game. We concentrate in zone 3 and know it well for moose. We hunt them much the same way as you would hunt whitetails in the Midwest, over large food plots. Approximately 99% of the moose hunts are conducted on paper company land which is basically public access land. Moose are hunted from pickups where you will ride all day long covering lots of ground and getting lucky finding moose in the clear cuts. Everyone else will be also doing the same thing as you. This is not the type of hunt you will have with us. It is a one on one private land hunt. I own my own farm ground and plant right around 20 acres of oats, clovers, broccoli and other brassicas which attract moose like a magnet. As far as I know I’m the only guy doing it. We have very comfortable shooting houses overlooking these food plots. Last year was the first year. It was an experimental year for me. I took one client in that farm with a cow tag and we shot a big mature cow the first 5 minutes of the season. I viewed many moose in food plots. I saw 9 different bulls in one food plot. One morning there were 15 moose out in front of shooting house, 9 cows and calves and 6 bulls. I saw 2 big mature shooter bulls on farm and the rest were all up and comers. They all went into winter months in great shape. With proper management the population is going to explode with moose.   I also have access to many other private farms with lots of moose. Calling and stalking are techniques we also utilize.  This is truly private land hunting at its finest. If you are looking for a truly unique moose hunting opportunity in Maine give us a call.

Bow hunters need bow hunting guides to accommodate the bow hunter and his needs.

 

Maine Moose Lottery

Each client must apply for a special Drawing Moose Permit.   The drawings are held in June.  Moose hunting has a split season beginning during the peak of the rut in the end of September and 1st of October.

The Lottery is randomly selected, however, preference points are given each year an applicant is unsuccessful in the drawing.

Approximately 99% of the moose hunts in Maine are done by riding the roads, shooting your moose just off the road, and your hunt is over. This is not the type of moose hunting trip you will have with Sportsman’s Pride Outfitters, so please be prepared for a traditional hunt.

Our moose hunts begin early, before the crack of dawn. We will be moose hunting on my own farm or other very private farm country areas known to hold mature bulls. A lot of calling will be done away from other hunters. This is truly a trophy moose hunting experience.  

 

Hunt Includes:

  • One on one
  • Lodging and meals, 7 nights lodging and 6 days of hunting.
  • Complete trophy care
  • One of my guides is a full time meat cutter with meat cutting facilities. He will cut up and wrap your moose.
  • I am also a full time taxidermist when not guiding.

Brassicca and oats in Oct. Only lush green vegetation around for miles in Oct and Nov. Every other natural vegetation is mature and brown. This is what draws moose like a magnet.
