Maine is famed for its expansive North Woods, offering hunters the chance to pursue black bear, moose, and whitetail deer in rugged, forested terrain. Moose draws are highly coveted, with lucky hunters traveling deep into remote wilderness areas to track these massive animals. Bear hunting is also a tradition, with the state allowing multiple methods, including baiting and hounding. Whitetail deer in Maine tend to be wary and can grow quite large, thanks to colder climates and dense habitats, providing a satisfying challenge for committed hunters.

Maine’s fishing, especially for cold-water species like brook trout and landlocked salmon, is among the best in the East. Remote ponds and lakes in the North Woods can offer secluded fishing for native trout, while rivers like the Kennebec and Penobscot are known for salmon runs and smallmouth bass in certain stretches. Coastal fishing off Maine’s rocky shoreline includes opportunities to catch striped bass, mackerel, and bluefish. The state’s outdoor scene also caters to hikers who traverse the final stretch of the Appalachian Trail at Mount Katahdin, and sea kayakers exploring the scenic coast dotted with islands and lighthouses.
