Guided Maine Moose Hunts | Big Mountain Outfitters
Big Mountain Outfitters offers premium guided Maine moose hunts in the remote North Maine Woods. Our hunts are built on preparation, experience, and consistency, with a proven track record of producing opportunities at mature bulls.
These hunts are for hunters who want a true backcountry experience and the best possible chance at harvesting a quality bull.
Results Focused
As a dedicated moose hunting outfitter, every decision we make throughout the year is centered around locating and hunting mature bulls.
Each season, our guides spend more than a month living in remote wall tent camps, scouting and hunting moose across the North Maine Woods in WMDs 1,2,4,5. We invest hundreds of hours identifying productive areas, monitoring movement with more than 100 trail cameras, and building on years of historical data to stay ahead of changing moose patterns.
When your hunt begins, the work has already been done.

You’ll hunt from traditional wall tent camps, living and hunting in true moose country. This is an authentic, hands-on hunting experience that includes long days, changing conditions, and real opportunities at mature bulls.
