A New England Hunting Tradition with Northern Outdoors:
Hunting has been a tradition in Maine’s big woods for generations. Northern Outdoors prides itself on providing hunters with the best hunting experience the Northeast has to offer. We only specialize in Trophy Whitetail Hunts.
There are few areas in the world that contain more 200 pound-plus bucks per square mile than the North Woods of Maine. Every year we take more trophy bucks than any other hunting camp or outfitter in North America, on land open to the public. Our goal is to create an atmosphere of camaraderie and friendship that transcends the rigors of the hunt and provides a memorable experience whether luck smiles on you or not. The only certainty is the opportunity to pursue some of the largest trophy whitetail deer found anywhere in North America!
