Northern New England Outfitters

I have been hunting with NNEO for several seasons in both NH and Maine and have never been disappointed. Jason and his guides are true professionals, experts beyond belief, and run a top notch operation, second to none. The amount of time, effort and energy that goes into putting you on a bear really shows. From the lodge, cabins, hunting stands and stories, you are in for a great hunt!! Best place on earth! Another perk of hunting with NNEO is that they have their own butcher shop on site. Sharing a photo of my personal best taken in 2021 at NNEO.

NNEO was awesome they put me on a bear my second day. She was a yearling and I should have been more patient. I can’t wait to go on another bear hunt next year. I need to get a big boar to redeem myself. All the guides were great Sparky took care of my father in law and I the first day, my father in law was unable to continue the last two days and I was able to harvest a 65lbs sow the second night. Had I not left the blind early, because I was cold, the night before I probably would have seen the bigger bear I was looking for. They did a great job with my hide and the meat. I would recommend anyone who wants great guides that work hard for you and your harvest. I would do the two bear trip, one in NH and one in ME, to make it more fun and relaxed. If I was to hunt there again. Thanks for taking care of me and my father in law. The offer for a deer stand for a day was well worth it for the missed days in the bear stand. See when we drive by next week, building in Rangeley, ME. We see bucks every day!

I had a successful bear hunt with NNEO! My entire stay was fantastic- cabins were clean, meals were top notch, all staff/ guides very knowledgeable. When I shot my bear- it was very convenient to have all the support for transporting and processing the bear on site. I highly recommend this outfitter for your next hunt!

This team is second-to-none in every category. From start to finish, their skills and experience were evident. Jason was easy to book with, and had us prepared for our week of hunting before we even arrived at the lodge on day one. The roster of professional guides working here are no short of awesome. In two seasons of hunting with them, we had the pleasure of working with all of the bear guides and we were in good hands all the way. Which is why we promptly booked for our 3rd year with NNEO. Jason, Dustin, Sparky, Jason M, and Shaun all took care of us on our black bear hunts. We learned a lot, had fun, enjoyed success, and felt the satisfaction of the full spectrum of a hunt. Not every sit fills a tag, but we sure got more than our share of opportunity, filling our tags was the icing on the cake. That said, this team worked hard to afford us every opportunity possible working the sites and getting us the best opportunities. When we connected, we had the best team of trackers on the ground (we did our best to make for a short track of course), recovery was easy, right to the lodge for service at an in-house butcher shop. When our hunt was complete we left with coolers full of perfectly prepared and labeled meat, cared-for hides, and a surplus of memories and experiences that will last a lifetime. My hunting buddy and I opted for the 2 state, 7 day hunt. In those two years we harvested 3 bears between us. For my unfilled tag, that’s on me more than anything. The NNEO guide crew worked to get me a chance at one of the biggest bears they’ve had on camera over the last 4 years. I’m looking forward to continuing the camp lore looking for another chance with “Fat Abbey” and being in camp with this crew. Memories made, friendships forged, onward to next season!

I honestly cannot say enough about our experience with Northern New England Outfitters. They successfully guided my dad and son to their first bear. They processed the meat and bear in a timely fashion. Completing our order ahead of schedule. They also put a nervous momma to ease ( after having a little fun first. Lol!). The location is absolutely stunning! It is a nature lover's paradise. We were here a week and there was not enough time to see everything.
