Penobscot and Piscataquis County are known for high numbers of
black bear and white tail deer and have enabled us at South Branch
Lake Camps over the years to have access to substantial hunting
grounds. Our fully guided black bear hunts starting in late
August and lasting into September offer high quality hunting packages. We limit our hunts to only
twelve hunters per week, which gives us the opportunity to spend
quality time with each and every hunter. Our bear hunting
packages include a Sunday to Sunday package with all meals,
guide,
lodging, linens, daily housekeeping services,
transportation to and from bait sites and stands, and
basic game care.
We
maintain over 60 bait sites during the season, with tree stands,
ground blinds, and two-person stands. Some handicapped access is
also available. Baits suitable for bow hunters are also available.
This allows for the rotation of the sites through the weeks and
assures the hunter that he or she is on a fresh site each week.
South Branch Lake Camps is a Maine State License Agent, which
means we can provide the hunter with the necessary licenses and
permits on site. Come join the South Branch Lake family that has
scored black bear in the MASTC and state books for many, many
years.
Be sure to bring along your fishing gear since South Branch Lake
offers the number one smallmouth bass fishery in the state!
Additional guests who may be non-hunters can fish at a special
rate. Be sure to ask for details.

Deer Hunting |
Penobscot
County has some of the best deer hunting in Maine. Each year more
deer are taken here than in any other county in the state. To
give you an example, 2001 season three of the bucks taken were
eight point or better and were over 200 pounds. Our success rate
for the 2001 season was 32%. We start scouting in mid to late
July and continue right into the end of rifle season. We scout
out all areas in the 22,000 plus acres of wilderness around us.
|
|
Moose Hunting |
Moose are also very plentiful in our area. In the past years we
have managed several bulls with impressive racks. Our success
rate so far has been 100%. We work out of zones 9, 10, 11 and
18. Black bear is also abundant and we offer fully guided hunts,
with several state record book animals being taken in the past
three years.
