Maine Guide what we do

Maine guide service

What we do well and what we don't do at all

NOT EVERY GUIDE DOES EVERY KIND OF GUIDING...

...although it seems some do, and do it well. Generally, though, one who only hunts bear with beagles may tell you he doesn't do canoeing. Someone else guides ice climbing expeditions and admits she's not one for insect hunting.

Damn Yankee isn't the one to go to for some things, either. (See below.)

We invite you to try us for activities such as the following:

RECREATION
rock hounding, fossil hunting for brachiopods
outdoor photography
insect hunting (entomology)
flora and fauna
remote natural wonders
remote historical sites
canoeing, kayaking, boating
primitive camping (tenting, etc.)
“luxury” camping (lakeside cottage with conveniences)
hiking with a naturalist
trail riding (with the help of a friend's stable)

HUNTING (with proper licenses)
deer, moose, turkey, ruffed grouse, ducks

SHOOTING
firearm familiarization (different types of guns)
firearm/hunting safety
target practice

FISHING
lake or river
boat/canoe or shore
fly or lure

If you're not familiar with most wilderness pursuits, consider combining a number of the above activities into a trip you design for yourself. Combine some canoeing or boating with some fossil hunting and outdoor photography, add some fishing and finish off with some target practice using a variety of firearms. For more ideas, see design your own trip.

WE HONOR THE PLEDGE OF THE PROFESSIONAL MAINE GUIDES TO:

* obey all state and federal laws,
* cooperate with all wildlife officials and landowners,
* provide quality service and equipment, and
* promote conservation and education and putting safety above all else.

Note that we only have limited oppotunities open from spring through fall 2006.

What can we do for you? And if not us, there is also the Maine Professional Guides Association (link below) where you can make contact with many more professional guides with expertise in any area.
