Maine Deer Hunting

As the name of our dining room indicates, the deer in this region are big but can be elusive. We have been more fortunate over the past couple of winters than other parts of the state and the herd in this region is healthy and strong. Bosebuck Mountain Camps’ hunters have the opportunity to hunt mountainous, vast wooded areas where you have a good chance of not seeing another hunter all week. Although this terrain would prompt you to be proficient with map and compass or GPS, there are natural borders such as lakes, rivers and roads that will make some hunters more comfortable in these big woods. Our guides will show or direct you to areas of good game movement and help you with any questions you might have about certain areas. We do have access to gated land north of camp, for an even more remote hunting experience.

Trophy Whitetail Deer is wasily, the American Hunter’s #1 Big Game Trophy. And in our neck of the woods of Northern Maine, there are more of them than most anywhere else in the country. Seeing bucks exceeding 200 pounds is not rare; bagging one takes talent, experience, knowledge and a little luck. Camp Katahdin is dedicated to do our part to put you in the way of Maine’s monster bucks, to make your hunt a success and your stay a pleasure.

The Jackman area is renowned for consistently producing heavy, big bodied bucks. In fact, since 2007, our local tagging station registered more than 80 bucks that dressed out over 200 pounds, many of which are now recorded in Maine's Skull and Antler record books. Last year alone, 132 bucks were tagged, with dozens in the 180 and 190 pound range and 21 that tipped the scales above 200. The biggest taken by a Cedar Ridge customer, so far, was a massive 260 pounder.

Maine is known for its large bodied deer and a trophy deer is often measured for its body weight and not rack size. Taking a buck that dresses out at 200 pounds or more will get you into the Maine Big Buck Club. These large-bodied deer have longer legs are able to store more body fat enabling them to survive the long Maine winters when food sources are scarce.

We employ several different hunting tactics depending on the weather, hunters abilities, food sources, and rutting activity. These deer have larger home ranges and are harder to pattern than deer in areas with limited forest cover and concentrated food sources but they still have predictable traits. They favor edges created by two different cover types, such as where a hardwood ridge grades to a softwood swamp. They use stream bottoms, saddles, and long, sloping shelves as travel corridors. Although we try to cater to everyone's needs and abilities the most successful method for us has been from tree stands or blinds overlooking key areas.
