Eastern Ridge Adventures

Eastern Ridge Adventures was founded in 2004 by Joshua Rhodes, a University of Maine graduate with a degree in Outdoor Recreation Management. What started as a personal dream to own a sporting camp has grown into a successful operation run by registered Maine hunting guides.

Bait Site Hunts (August 24 - September 21) Hunters are guided daily to stands over active bait sites. The operation maintains over 110 monitored bait locations with game cameras, so you can check footage and track activity. You participate in the process—checking cameras, monitoring sites, and understanding where the bears are.

Hound Hunts (September 21 - October 12) Action-focused hunts following hounds through Maine's backcountry. The outfit scales difficulty to your ability—active hunters follow the pack, while less mobile hunters wait near crossing roads or tree positions within their range.

Every package covers 7 nights lakeside lodging and 6 days of hunting (no Sunday hunts per Maine law). Beyond the hunt itself:

• •Registered Maine Guide escort to and from stands daily
• •Game tracking and recovery (with the operation's own tracking dog if needed)
• •Field dressing, skinning, and quartering
• •Walk-in cooler and freezer storage for your game
• •Trophy preparation of your hide
• •Taxidermy referrals if desired

"All these services are included in your hunting package."

Northfield, Maine—surrounded by wild blueberry barrens and thick forests. Lakeside cottage lodging options include Sunset Cottage, Fulton Shores, Paradise Shores, Hennessey Cottage, and Birch Point.
