Hillside Game Ranch

Hillside Game Ranch operates a 1000-acre fenced game preserve in Aurora, Maine, offering year-round guided hunts for all experience levels. Under the direction of Master Guide Scott Beede—with over 25 years of guiding experience—the ranch focuses on delivering safe, controlled hunts in a professional environment.

Every hunt package includes: - Two full days of guided hunting - Two nights in the lodge (accommodates up to 22 hunters) - Home-cooked meals throughout your stay - Professional guide services - On-site butchering and skinning - Access to professional taxidermy services

No hunting license required to hunt at the preserve.

Scott Beede: "With over 25 years of guiding experience I can guarantee an exciting and successful hunt. I've hunted every species of game in New England and many exotics. If you come to Hillside for a hunt I'll hunt you hard."

The controlled 1000-acre environment means you're hunting real animals in a real setting, not a tiny pen. Clients consistently return—one returning hunter is on his fourth year. A 12-year-old's first deer here led his family to book future hunts. The food matters too: one client specifically praised "fantastic food" as part of the draw.

The on-site lodge provides comfortable accommodations with a communal atmosphere for swapping stories between hunting days. Home-cooked meals are included, with butchering available so you leave with processed game ready to take home.
