If you’re looking for a guide for your Maine moose hunt, I recommend Big Mountain Outfitters.
I could not have more respect for them and the guide service/hunting camp they’ve set up. We just had the hunt of a lifetime with them. Shot a 56” Zone 1 bull on our third day.
No guide service can guarantee a moose, but by the end of the first day me and my sub already knew that even if we didn’t shoot a moose that week, we were happy we went with Big Mountain Outfitters.
The camp they have set up is great: your own hot tent with cots, good food, a shower, etc.
Our guides were Jerod and Matt and they were incredible. Their years of experience moose hunting was obviously from day one and they knew zone 1 like the back of their hand. These guys aren’t going to have you hunting from the road/out of a truck, they bring you into the woods for a real hunt. (But if you have physical limitations, they can work with you too.)
And to top it off they were just great guys to hunt with. Hiring a guide can seem like a lot of money, but they are 100% worth every penny.
The photo I uploaded is our guides Jerod and Matt posed with the bull me and my sub shot.

Big Mountain Outfitters is a top notch firm. The owner’s experience and connections allow for zones swaps if necessary. The experienced group of guides puts in countless hours of scouting and has many trail cams that are monitored year round. When it comes to the hunt, the effort put into pursuing a trophy bull is second to none. This is not a road hunting outfit as you pursue trophies deep off the beaten path on foot. Camp life is also great with good food and amenities. I was lucky enough to draw a tag, get matched up with BMO, and harvest a trophy bull of a lifetime followed by some bird hunting at the end of the week. I couldn’t be happier with my experience with Big Mountain Outfitters!

It was truly an amazing experience being able to go with Big Mountain Outfitters. From the moment we pulled into camp I knew it was the right choice. Food was amazing the guides are amazing the story’s, the laughs, and the area is all exactly what you want from a true Maine moose hunt. Not to mention having a butcher on site so you don’t have to worry about your meat spoiling in the warm daytime temps. Huge thanks to Jerod and his son Gavin for the most memorable hunt!

Big Mountain Outfitters checks all of the boxes for an awesome Moose hunt. They do everything possible to make sure the hunter is successful. Robert put me in front of several big animals and I was able to pick the one I wanted. Afterwards the entire camp showed up to pack it out, even Erin the camp chef. I highly recommend Jerod and Robert for great experience in the North Maine Woods.

From the minute we pulled in I knew we were with the right crew. They not only provided awesome tent setups and great food, they paired us with the most experienced guides that tailored the experience for what each hunter in camp was capable of doing. Do yourself a favor and book with these guys. I promise you won’t be disappointed. Best of luck in your Maine Northwoods adventure, I sure enjoyed mine!

I was lucky to get drawn for the 2020 Maine moose season with a bull moose tag for the Oct week. I was a little lost in where to start but after a few contacts with guides I talked to Jerod over the phone and could hear the passion he has for moose hunting. I knew I had found someone that wasn't doing this for a paycheck but actually lives and breathes moose hunting. Camp was excellent and the outfitter tents are very comfortable even with the 20 degree weather and snow we received. Food was available at any time and hot served dinners was amazing after hunting all day. We saw moose instantly on the first day including bulls that most hunters would have taken but Jerod and Robert put in so much time scouting they knew exactly where to find big bulls. Jerod was able to find ways to overcome weather and some pretty serious hunting pressure in our area and found ways to get into the woods where other hunters had not been pushing the bulls. We would get back out to the roadways and talk to other hunters and guides who reported not seeing much of anything and we would have just seen 8-10 moose. One of the biggest things I learned and was thankful for was Jerod and Robert quarter the moose out which for trophy moose will keep your hide in perfect condition without the drag wear. I strongly suggest Big Mountain Outfitters to get on some good moose and to get away from the hunting pressure. These guys will outwork anyone and are more committed to getting quality moose. You will be very thankful that you picked them.

Where do I start? I can’t thank the guys at big mountain outfitters enough for making a once an life time hunt the best hunt I’ve ever been on hands down. From the start they made us feel like we knew them forever, it was like I had been in camp before with them. If your looking for a back country style hunt these guys have it all figured out, I’ve been on my fair share of outfitted hunts and none come close to the level of operation these guys put on. I drew a September zone 1 tag and Jerod was my guide. I could tell that not only he knew what he was doing, but the passion that he has for the hunt was contagious and I am glad it was. Little did I know my hunt was going to come down to the wire, literally, the last day with only 3 hours left in the season. By the last day I had lost hope, and had kind of given up. I came to the conclusion that I was going to go home empty handed and I just wanted to give up and stay at camp. But that wasn’t an option with Jerod as my guide. He told me from day one it’s not going to be easy but we are going to get you a bull. There’s no words, and the amount of gratitude I have for Jerod and the guys at big mountain outfitters is unreal. These guys WILL NOT give up on you or your hunt! They will do everything to get you your once in a lifetime hunt accomplished. I would HIGHLY recommend them to anyone that’s lucky enough to draw a moose tag in the north Maine woods!

My father and I booked a moose hunt with Big Mountain Outfitters this fall. The camp setup, hunting experiences, and food was great! We had some crazy encounters calling moose in. They really try their hardest to give you the best experience you can possibly have. One thing that stood out was that when a group got their moose, that guide was still up at 4am everyday checking cameras and scouting trying to help the other groups get a big bull. When they did, they would all show up to give a hand at packing it out. It really is a great team that they have. Over the course of the week every group had multiple bull encounters and eventually tagged out. We were fortunate enought to harvest a 60 5/8" bull on the second to last day. Every aspect of this trip exceeded expectations and I could not imagine a better group of people to spend the week with.
