Business Details

Full description and what we offer

Sportsman's Pride Outfitters operates from Madawaska, Maine—right on the St. John River border with Canada—and handles hunts across northern Maine and over 4 million acres of New Brunswick crown land. Tyler Sellers left a career as a welding inspector to run the operation full-time; his father Scott built a demolition business and now guides alongside him. They know the territory intimately and hunt it the way it should be hunted.
