Would you hunt with this Guide again?
Had a very good hunt I shot a bear first night in stand. 8 hunters in camp and had 6 bears by Thursday night. You are guided to and from the bait sights and rebaited when taken in. The food that week was great and plenty of it with 3 meals per day. For those that would like to take a guest this is the place to do it. We had our own lake side cabin that was really nice. Ryan and Jennifer put on a great hunt week. The bears in this area of Maine are smaller than other area but still able to get 250 to 350lb bears. I shot 160 lb female my first bear. I am returning fall of 2011 to try to get larger bear.

Reviewer Comments: Ryan,Jen and Don are very good guides, very informative, personal and just all around good people. There where 12 hunters in camp they take a max of 14 per week. Out of 12 we harvested 9, one missed, one was looking for the big one and one didn't see any bears. The food is great and it's family style. The stands are new and blinds are well done great hunting camp going back again

Reviewer Comments: Ryan and Jenn run an outstanding camp, every thing from the food to taking care of your trophy is top notch. we had 12 hunters in camp and harvested 9 bear ranging in weight from 363 lbs down to 75 lbs. Bear sighting for the week was 18 bear for 12 hunters not bad. I would recommend them to anyone....

Utah Hunting Information
Utah has recently been outstanding for trophy elk, but the best tags take many years to draw. Utah does have conservation tags available for purchase that allow hunters to bypass the drawing. Given the high demand for these premium tags prices can be high. In the past Utah has been a top trophy mule deer state but recently only a handful of units consistently produce B&C caliber deer.
Illinois Hunting Information
Illinois is widely known as a top trophy whitetail destination. Illinois also has some great waterfowl hunting, especially in southern portions of the state.
Kansas Hunting Information
Kansas is one of the top producing monster whitetail buck states in the country. It also has some excellent turkey hunting and a few big mule deer in the western part of the state. Kansas has an excellent reputation as a top notch destination for upland birds. It has excellent populations of pheasant and quail due to the vast expanse of suitable prairie and grassland type habitat.
