Moose Hunting
Looking For A Trophy Maine Moose?
Our Guided Moose Hunts
We guide trophy moose hunts in Northern Maine in units 4-8. Call us today to check on availability.
Our Scouting
At Moose Maine we offer unparalleled scouting that starts as soon as the prior season ends. We take flights over many of our hunting areas through the winter, spring, and summer to track the big ones and get ready for the upcoming season. We spend countless hours throughout the winter, spring, and fall scouting for moose. Some of the best scouting is done in winter and spring when we are locating sheds dropped by large bulls.
Recovery
We have designed and customized our own recovery equipment and utilize all methods of recovery to ensure your harvest is getting the best care. Most recoveries are done quicker and provide better care by hauling them out of the woods whole. In some cases, it's better to quarter the moose in the woods and pack it out. We have the knowledge, equipment, and experience to make the best recovery and ensure your harvest is properly cared for.
Personalized Experience
Most importantly, we limit the number of hunts we take to 2-3 each season. This ensures every hunter has an exceptional experience and opportunity! We offer a traditional guided hunting package complete with meals and lodging. We can upgrade your hunting package to include things like remote camping, air scouting, videography or a second guide. Nobody is more thorough, more prepared, or outworks our team. As serious as we take our hunts, we still have loads of fun. Our crew is second to none in making you feel special and make your experience one of a kind!
What to Expect on Your Maine Moose Hunt
Frost on the ground, the raking of antlers against the trees accompanied by the grunts of an angry bull moving towards you. You can see the steam from its breath rise above the small trees. Adrenaline is pumping and your heart is racing. This is the kind of hunt that dreams are made of…
On your moose hunt, you will have the option to stay in our first-class hunting lodge or a remote camp out in the wilderness of Northern Maine. You will be hosted by our top-notch hunting guides and world class team. We consistently harvest mature bulls year after year. Mature bulls in Maine have racks from 40″ to over 60″ and weigh from 750 to over 1000 pounds dressed. Our average bull has ~8 years old and weigh nearly 800 pounds dressed with average an spread of nearly 50 inches.
We do hunts in Zones 5 and 6 via remote camp, zone 8 or 4 out of Cozy Cove Cabins on the shore of Big Wood Lake and zone 11 out of the world class Maine River Lodge. No matter which area, style of hunt, or hunt package you choose, you can expect to have a hunt you will never forget! No matter where you hunt with us, you can expect to be in a clean, comfortable space with all the great food you could eat.

Our Hunting Grounds
We hunt three core areas with differing characteristics and hunting opportunities.
The Northeastern Corner
where Zone 11 sits is filled with rolling hills, lots of lakes and swamps and most cutting has been done via selective harvest. This particular area tends to be thick with small trees and visibility is limited. Often times we will have interactions with mature bulls at close range. Shots are typically less than 50 yards. And many times, we will have bulls within 30 yards and not even be able to see them. These zones have fewer permits and the animals see very little hunting pressure. We hunt this zone from the World class Maine River Lodge.
The Western Maine Mountain region
sits in the west to northwest portion of Maine and is covered by Zones 4 and 8. Much of this area is vast woodlands with no power, phone or internet. This area has some of highest density of Moose in the World. Some areas boast up to 12 moose per square mile and the whole territory averages nearly 8 moose per square mile. The high density means a lot of permits and a lot of hunting pressure. This zone really takes the extra effort to get away from the masses and into the best hunting areas. This is where our determination and expertise shine the best. The mix of heavily forested areas in varying ages presents prime habitat for moose. These moose are hunted hard and are far more shy than some other zones. Hunts in this area can be extremely challenging but also highly rewarding to those who put in the extra effort. We hunt zone 8 out of Cozy Cove Cabins on Big Wood Lake. We can hunt zone 4 from Cozy Cove or in remote tents.
The Central Woodlands
is where Zone 5 and 6 sit. This area has been heavily forested for the past decade with many clear cuts and replanted areas bordering thick cover. This area can result in the most sightings of animals due to its open nature. To get the big ones in these zones, you need to focus on their core areas. Large bulls can be shy and difficult to pull into the open. Hunting the edges of these large cuts where there is good cover and water can be very productive. These hunts are done via remote outpost camps or tents.
