Deer Hunting
| Maine’s whitetail deer is perhaps
the most sought after big game animal in the Northeast. Here in the BIG
WOODS the deer offers the greatest challenge to the experienced hunter.
Most hunters come to Maine for the challenge of the hunt, and the prospects
of bagging a trophy BUCK. There are many big ones who have never seen
a human being in these woods!
An excellent variety of terrain surrounds Mt Chase Lodge. Hardwood ridges, cedar swamps, clear cuts and abandoned farms and orchards make for excellent hunting areas. Accommodations at Mt Chase Lodge are comfortable and spacious, consisting of private rooms in the main lodge, as well as individual cabins, sleeping 4-8 hunters each. Hearty meals are served family style in the finest tradition, and there is always enough for those big appetites. After dinner, relaxing in front of the fireplace always spurs interesting tales of the one that got away and the one that DIDN’T. BY LAW hunters have to wear TWO articles of fluorescent orange visible from all directions, a hat, and orange coat or vest covering the upper part of the body. A compass is a must in these woods, and more recently, GPS units are very handy. Well maintained logging roads run deep into the region providing good access, and while four wheel drive vehicles are an asset, they are not necessary for a successful hunt. It is recommended that first time hunters to this area invest in the services of a local guide. This can be done through the lodge. Guides typically will handle up to four hunters and can be very helpful in educating new hunters to the opportunities in the area, and aiding in a successful hunt. Rates for guides are available upon request. Season dates: Bow hunting - October 1st until opening of firearms. Firearm - On or about November 1st until the Saturday after Thanksgiving. Muzzle-loader - The week after Thanksgiving $565 per week plus sales tax and license fees. Includes all lodging and meals, orientation to hunting areas, cooler storage, use of all lodge facilities, other limited services as necessary. $175 deposit required
