Big bodies, big woods, big bucks
Where you will hunt
The mid to late fall hunt for Maine Whitetail will take you through some rugged but the most beautiful country you could ask for. The weather can be unpredictable with some days feeling like summer and many feeling like winter. All of this culminating into an experience you will be sure to remember.
Deer Hunting
Arguably America’s most popular hunting experience is the pursuit of whitetail deer. Whether stalking, stand hunting, or tracking Maine’s trophy whitetails you will have an experience you will never forget. The trophy bucks we offer in Maine are not raised on farms but wild and elusive. Schanz’s Guide Service will guide you and help you learn the skills necessary to successfully hunt some of the world’s largest whitetail deer. All of our guides are excellent deer hunters themselves with years of experience and are sure to present you your best opportunity at a 200 plus pound buck.
Where you will stay
Lee has built and acquired camps throughout his time in the guiding industry in some of the most beautiful hunting, fishing, and recreation areas in Central and Northern Maine. The locations range from the farm lands in central Maine to the northern Maine woods all of which are secluded and comfortable. The camps are well designed and well-kept with the proper gear to ensure a pleasant and relaxing experience after a long day in the woods or on the water. Although your pursuit of whatever game you may be here for takes precedence, we suggest you also treat yourself to an enjoyable vacation and part of that is in your comfort found in Schanz’s Guide Service lodging.
Your Food
Don't let Lee, Stephen, or the Guides fool you. Kelly Schanz, "Mimi" is the brains, logistics, and most importantly the cook behind the scenes!
