At PB Guide Service, we know that hunting a moose is a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and we do everything we can to make sure that experience goes exactly the way you imagined.

We’re lucky enough to hunt out of the most densely populated moose region in Maine, but it’s our experience and preparation that sets us apart from other outfitters. Our hunters benefit from our extensive knowledge of Zone 4 and the hundreds of successful moose hunts we’ve been a part of.

Ready to see how we can make your hunt the experience of a lifetime? Give us a call today.

Choosing the Right Moose Hunting Lodge

While many guides or outfitters will take moose hunters in Zone 4, no other outfitter matches the experience we have with the territory.

PB Guide Service has been hunting Zone 4 for over three decades—and not just for moose. On any given year, our guides spend between five and six months scouting and preparing for grouse, bear, deer, and moose hunters throughout Zone 4.

We also offer our hunters one of the only permanent hunting lodges in the region. Rather than staying in a rented logging bunkhouse or a series of tents and campers, our camp includes:

  • A full kitchen
  • Electricity and running water
  • Separate bathrooms for men and women
  • Individual cabins/rooms for your group
  • A walk-in cooler to store your moose or other game
  • Satellite tv and a telephone line

Not to mention, we offer all of this from the most remote region of Zone 4, which means you get the advantages of a modern lodge and the benefits of a moose hunting territory that receives almost no pressure from other hunters.

Whether you choose a Guided Moose Hunt or our Bed & Meals package, you’ll get full use of all our facilities for your entire stay.

Fully Guided Maine Moose Hunt

Our fully guided moose hunt is a true all-inclusive option. As long as you can make it to camp, we’ll take care of the rest. You’ll be paired with an experienced Maine guide who knows the area, and we’ll take care of transportation throughout the hunt.

We’ll also take care of an often overlooked part of the moose hunt—getting your moose out of the woods. The process can be difficult, but we’ve streamlined it over hundreds of successful moose hunts. Once we get your moose out of the woods, we’ll store it in the walk-in cooler until you’re ready to head home. Then, we’ll transport it to a local butcher of your choice.

All of our guided hunters also get full use of our camps and facilities, three daily meals, home-cooked snacks and desserts, and individual cabins for you and group.

But what’s more, we know the best hunts include friends and family, so when you choose our guided package, your sub-permittee (or 1 guest) can come with you at no additional cost.

Over the years, our guided moose hunters have had a success rate of over 90%, and every year, we have hunters shooting trophy bulls and cows within the first day of hunting.

If you’re serious about having a great moose hunt and the trip of a lifetime, then our guided package is the perfect fit for you.

Bed & Meals Moose Hunt

  • Full use of our camps and facilities
