Schanz's Guide Service

Schanz's Guide Service operates hunting expeditions across Central and Northern Maine for hunters after trophy big game or upland birds. They handle moose, whitetail deer, black bear, wild turkey, ruffed grouse, and coyote—each with specialized tactics and experienced guides.

• •Moose Hunting - Competitive, high-success pursuits in prime trophy territory. Guides use calling and stalking tactics on thousand-pound animals.

• •Whitetail Deer - Stand hunting, stalking, and tracking Maine's wild trophy bucks. All guides are experienced deer hunters who understand how to locate 200+ pound animals.

• •Black Bear - Over-bait hunts in Central Maine during peak season, plus hound hunting. Includes comfortable lodging, meals, fishing between sits, and evenings around the bonfire.

• •Ruffed Grouse - Northern Maine's wild grouse population. Family-friendly hunts during fall foliage season—bring plenty of shells.

• •Turkey - Camps near Cornville in prime farm country. High success rate with guides skilled at calling trophy Toms.

• •Coyote - Nocturnal hunts allowed Dec 16–Aug 31. Muzzleloader options available.

Bear hunting trips combine serious hunting with a relaxing vacation—comfortable lodging, quality meals, sightseeing, fishing when not in stands, and evenings reminiscing by the fire.

Guides specialize in locating and pursuing game using proven tactics. The operation focuses on wild, free-ranging animals, not farm-raised stock. Success rates are notably high across multiple hunt types.
