2026 GUIDED & DIY MAINE DEER HUNTING

Experience chasing elusive Maine whitetail giants the way it used to be done, deep in the north woods where the monarchs of whitetail deer live out of sight. They can achieve weights up to 200-300 lbs. with antler scores in the 150 range.

Your team of dedicated deer chasers guides hunters year after year, resulting in many wall hanger bucks that qualify for the coveted "Maine big buck patch," which, for whitetails is a dressed weight over 200 lbs. Our whitetail hunts are not for everyone. Together we'll track many miles in snow and spend hours stand hunting, dedicated to increase your chances of crossing paths with a trophy. It's what LL&C strives for.

In addition to the numerous hours Team LL&C puts in for scouting, we work with many loggers and foresters. Our connections with local logging operations gives you an advantage beyond having an extra set of eyes in the woods: they give us information on where to concentrate our efforts in finding trophy game, their work creates new generation growth habitat which deer think is candy, and they will help with game retrieval to roadside. 

What are your options for deer hunting? LL&C's stand hunting options are strategically placed based on wind conditions to give you the best possible opportunity to connect with a nice mature Maine buck. You can choose to hunt with a bow, rifle or, muzzleloader, depending on what week you hunt. There are also options to go on a fully-guided deer hunt or a semi-guided "DIY" deer hunt where we point you in the direction of areas where deer have been seen, provide you with GPS locations, and using the "On X Hunt" app, you hunt without a guide accompanying you.

We start the day with a hearty breakfast way before daylight, hunt hard in different areas, have a light lunch, and after an adrenaline rush of a day, return back to our cozy lodge to a wonderful home-cooked dinner by the fire. 

 

So gather up your wool clothing and your gum rubbers and join us on an old-school Maine adventure. 

The 2026 season dates for deer hunting are shown in the chart below. 

Only 1 antlered deer may be taken annually.

Exception:

In designated WMDs during certain seasons (either-sex WMDs will be posted after rulemaking is final late spring 2026), hunters may harvest one deer, either antlered or antlerless, under the authority of their big game hunting license. This deer counts as the hunter's one deer for the year. If a hunter wants to take additional deer, an antlerless deer permit is required.
 

Additional deer may be harvested by hunters possessing antlerless deer permit(s) or during the expanded archery season with appropriate permits.

*A non-resident who owns 25 or more acres of land in Maine and leaves land open to hunting, holds a valid hunting license, and is not otherwise prohibitedby law, may hunt deer on the Resident only day, anywhere in the state. A verification form must be completed 

ACCOMMODATIONS FOR HUNTERS

LL&C offers spacious accommodations for the members of your hunting party during your 7-night/6-day hunting package in our main lodge and cabins, plus we have access to remote off-grid cabins in specialized hunting zones. Plan to arrive at the lodge mid-afternoon for check-in. You'll enjoy home-cooked meals throughout your stay. We like to welcome our hunters the night of their arrival with a Maine surf and turf dinner (lobster when it's available, steak or chicken and blueberry pie) while you get acquainted with your fellow hunters. Be sure to check out our Hall of Fame trophy wall in the lodge dining room. We make our boats and canoes available during non-hunting hours if you'd like to do some fishing.
