Huntr104 Posted July 5, 2005 Report Share Posted July 5, 2005 Hello, was a little curious. I'm thinking of buying a piece of land with a camp somewhere in Maine, and was wondering what are some of the better areas for hunting Deer, Bear and possibly Moose. From what I've been seeing the further North you look the more reasonable the prices are. Thanks for any help or input you share. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mainebuck Posted July 6, 2005 Report Share Posted July 6, 2005 Re: Maine Hunters ? The Moosehead Lake area is pretty good for the 3 species you mentioned. There are areas further north where you could probably get land cheaper that would be good for moose and bear, but probably not as good for deer.

mainebuck Posted July 6, 2005 Report Share Posted July 6, 2005 Re: Maine Hunters ? There may not be as many of them, but way up in the T#R# areas is where many of those 250lb+ dressed monsters are killed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huntr104 Posted July 6, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2005 Re: Maine Hunters ? Ok thanks. Now when you say not as many. How many deer per sq. mile would you say are in the central parts compared to the more northen parts. Also do you know of any links that I might be able to find land for sale? Thanks alot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HuntingInMaine Posted July 8, 2005 Report Share Posted July 8, 2005 Re: Maine Hunters ? I dug out my son's "Records of North American Whitetail Deer" put out by the Boone and Crockett club. It lists the highest scored deer taken in Maine. Aroostook, Hancock, Penobscot, and Piscataquis Counties have the largest number of B&C deer taken. I agree with DLuke's suggestion about not worrying about the moose hunt. It's a slim chance that you will get drawn (I never have and have been putting in for years...now I just consider it a donation to the wildlife fund! LOL) But you should still be in good moose country if you chose any of those counties mentioned above. Good luck finding the perfect spot....they are all beautiful, no matter where you chose to go!
