Allagash Guide Service - Main Lodge/Bears Den 928 Allagash Road, Allagash, ME 04774

"This guiding service is the real deal. Brandon is a total animal, and I say that as a huge compliment. I was just a subpermittee on the third week in a row of Zone 4 (Maine) having a 1-week cow moose hunt. It might have been long odds. It probably was. Very long. But Brandon knew the area, and more importantly he knew the type of terrain/habitat where we'd likely find fresh moose tracks in the snow. We found them. Brandon led us -- relentlessly -- in pursuit of nearby moose. Less than 24 hours from when the hunting started, Brandon -- himself following tracks -- had led us to a beautiful cow and my buddy executed with his rifle. Help was available to get the moose out easily. If you're willing to work half as hard as Brandon in the woods, you're probably going to have a good trip if you go with him! Extremely knowledgeable, a true work horse, highly professional. Also thoughtful and friendly. I give him my highest recommendation to anyone willing to get out in the woods and do some real hunting. I certainly hope to enjoy the outdoors with him again some day."

"I cannot say enough good about the communication, hospitality, and skills of Brandon and his team. I booked a fully guided Moose hunt in June, immediately after being drawn for the 4A (adaptive), knowing I was under prepared to do it alone—of the several guides I contacted providing service in this area, Brandon was the only one to get back to me the same day! After confirming with Allagash Guide Service in July, I spent the rest of the summer preparing for this once-in-a-lifetime experience—emailing with Brandon’s wife Brittany whenever I had questions—it did not disappoint. From the beginning, Brandon explained each step of the hunt to me, which gave me the confidence I needed to seal the deal when the opportunity presented itself. After an exciting first day tracking moose in the snow, I quickly realized that despite my preparations this would be a tough hunt—we walked nearly 10 miles day one chasing tracks! Upon starting day two, I wondered just how long I would last in the North Woods of Maine. Nevertheless I was going to keep after it. And as Brandon told me: if we don’t get one it won’t be from not trying… His determination lifted my spirits to the point where I did not want to let him down. We dutifully plunged forward and found a fresh track, which we followed for nearly 2 and a quarter miles. Suddenly Brandon beckoned me to the front where I could clearly see a large cow through the timber at around 100 yds. I lifted my gun, confirmed her status, and squeezed the trigger. The next few minutes were a bit frantic, as Brandon confirmed blood and we began to track through the melting snow. Another 50 yds up the trail we found her bedded down and I was able to fire a finishing round before she was capable of running further. At this point, Brandon and his team did as they said they would and quartered the moose and provided all that was needed to get her out, including packs and a total of three guides to help carry. I was prepared to count success as an adventure to Northern Maine. What I got was all that and more! Burgers on the tailgate after the trek out were the icing on the cake and tasted as good as any meal I’ve ever had… The top notch service continued through the tagging station and loading the moose into my truck for the drive to the butcher’s! Many thanks to Brandon, his wife Brittany and the rest of the crew —Noah, Gary, and Foggy Mountain guide service (for accommodations and fantastic fare!). I highly recommend Allagash Guide Service to anyone looking for a memory-filled outdoor experience!"

"Myself and 3 friends did a Guided Bear over Bait hunt with Allagash Guide Service in their Remote Camp back in 2018. Brittany and Brandon were excellent to work with from start to finish - even with my hundreds of questions! They always responded timely, professional and with the truth. Accommodations were fantastic - Lodging, Food and Hospitality were all top notch for the remote camp option we went with for our trip. Our Guide and Cook in camp were knowledgeable, fun and very personable. Top notch operation! Booked another Bear over Bait hunt for this fall (2023) and didn't even think about looking for other Outfitters/Guides - we knew exactly where we wanted to go!"

"We've been using Allagash guide service since 1995 back when Sean and Kelley ran it. They were awesome. Since Brittany and Brandon took over it's been just as great. They've been able to accommodate all of our requests. Us, our gear and vehicles have always been transported, picked up or left exactly where and when it was planned. They take away any concerns of spending time in a remote area such as the Maine North Woods."

"We came to Allagash, Maine for a bear hunt. Dennis was our guide for the week and he was great. Took us in and freshen up the bait stations. Picked us up at the end of the day giving us plenty of time for our hunt. We didn't get and bear this trip but I look forward to coming back. Brittany and Brandon are the best and offer many types of hunts can't go wrong going with Allagash Guide Service if you want a great hunt and experience."
