Hunters have enjoyed premium quality hunting trips with Northern Outdoors since 1975. From our experienced, friendly, professional Maine hunting guides to our classic Maine adventure lodge at the Forks Resort Center and very own Kennebec River Pub & Brewery, you’ll find a great hunting package that meets your needs.

There are few areas in the world that contain more 200 pound-plus bucks per square mile than the North Woods of Maine. Every year we take more trophy bucks on land open to the public than any other hunting camp or outfitter in North America. Our goal is to create an atmosphere of camaraderie and friendship that transcends the rigors of the hunt and provides a memorable experience whether luck smiles on you or not. The only certainty is the opportunity to pursue some of the largest trophy whitetail deer found anywhere in North America!

Guided Hunts

A guided hunting trip is truly the best way to hunt if you can give yourself this gift of extended time in the Maine woods, camaraderie of fellow hunters, and the comfort of returning nightly to the hunting lodge. Our guides spend diligent hours tracking, scouting and setting up stands, aiming to get you the best possible opportunity to see a buck.
