Deer Hunts – Overview

The Allagash region is famous for trophy whitetail deer hunting. Hunters have the opportunity to take a trophy buck 200 lbs or more. Many of these deer have exceptional racks with great mass. The vast northern hardwood ridges with mixed pockets of spruce-fir and cedar valleys extend for hundreds of thousands of acres. Commercial forestry is the prime industry in the Allagash region and we are able to use this to our advantage. Selective harvesting, clear-cuts and logging roads all aid in our whitetail hunting opportunities. Logging roads allow us to access all areas of the North Maine Woods; select-cuts and clear-cuts create good food plots and edges to hunt for lurking bucks. Northern Maine is the whitetail’s northernmost range where early November snowfall and rut offer hunters good deer activity and tracking conditions throughout the month. The services of a guide for a day or two is recommended, but not required, for those new to the area.
