Hunting in Maine

**Bear over Bait Special**   See Rates below

During the Maine black bear hunting season, we limit the number of guest slots available per week to provide a unique bear hunting experience. We maintain 60 bear bait sites, two sites per bear hunter, and provide portable tree stands to satisfy both bow and gun hunters. Each fall hunting season, our success rate averages to 65% of game taken and 85% sighted.

Maine Moose Hunting - Zone 8 & 14

  Moose hunting in Maine is comparable to Alaskan   moose hunting with a large native population available in our mountains and woodlands. A permit is required to hunt moose in Maine by a lottery system. Moose hunting applications must be in to the State by the end of April, for the June drawing of licenses via a lottery system

Whitetail Deer

Whitetail Deer hunting is a Maine hunter's delight. We hunt deer in the big wilderness and we hunt hard! Our guides scout year round to find where the deer are gathering and feeding. Come hunt with our guides on your first Maine deer hunt, then try hunting on your own the next year.

We have Trophy Bucks in our area weighing over 200 pounds!

The Maine state deer hunting success rate is 7%, but at Enchanted, our success rate is 18-19%!

Snowshoe Hare
This wilderness area has an abundance of snowshoe hare (rabbits). Spend a beautiful winter day out in the woods hunting with a guide and his hounds.

THE FORKS/WEST FORKS/PARLIN POND TRAIL REPORT

2/28/06

Last weeks snow showers totalled about 6 inches, and dramatically improved our trail conditions especially north of Berry’s Store in West Forks. The first 4 or 5 miles heading north out of Berry’s Store are somewhat rough in spots, but is easily passable and is being groomed. Beyond this, snow conditions improve greatly, and the trails are in good to very good shape. The trail system south of Berry’s was groomed on Monday night and is passable, but needs a little more snow before it could be considered good riding. Recommended riding is from Berry’s Store heading north toward Coburn Mountain, Parlin Pond, Jackman and Rockwood.

We will be grooming Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights this week.

• Dead River Club Trail from Berry’s Store to ITS 89 is in fair condition. There are some bare spots on some corners, as well as some rough sections on the woods trails, but it is easily passable.
• ITS 89 south toward Grand Falls is in good condition. Rough through the woods, and some ice on the roads. Note that there is no through trail beyond Grand Falls to Eustis this season, due to a logging operation.
• ITS 89 north over Coburn Mountain toward Jackman has great riding. Plenty of snow and the trail is in very good condition. The trail to the summit of Coburn Mt is being groomed.
• Shutdown Loop Club Trail has excellent riding.
• ITS 87 north from Berry’s Store to ITS 88 is in excellent shape. Again, the first 4 or 5 miles out of Berry’s is rough in spots, but is easily passable. Once past the Capitol Road, things improve greatly.
• Parlin Pond Connector Trail from ITS 87 to ITS 89 is in excellent shape.
• ITS 86 North Road Trail is generally in great shape. Rough for a couple of miles through the woods, but improves once on the road.
• Enchanted Loop Trail has good riding and is being groomed regularly.
• ITS 86 east/87 south from Berry’s Store to Moxie Pond ranges from poor to fair, but is passable.
• ITS 86 east from Moxie Pond toward Greenville is generally in decent shape. 1 mile section through the woods is rough, while the roads are ok.

We finally have some great riding, especially on our trail system north of Berry’s Store in West Forks. To the north Jackman, Rockwood and Pittston Farm are all grooming and report very good conditions. The next 3 or 4 weeks will be the time to finally put some miles on the sled.

Keep the speed down, watch for icy spots, and ride with caution at all times.
