STONY BROOK OUTFITTERS
► New Combo Hunts |
Black Bear w/ Hounds & Moose Combo
Hunt
Hunt Oct 10th through 16th (WMD
zones 7-8-12&13 only) |
Moose and Whitetail Deer Combo Hunt
November 1st through 30th (WMD
zone 16 only) |
This hunt is
done during the overlap week of our bear hunt with hounds and
the moose hunt. This combo hunt is booked as a bear hunt with
hounds and can be changed to a combination hunt when and if you
pull a tag. This means that you will not be required to put up
any deposit for the moose hunt until you actually get drawn. The
cost of this hunt is $2100 for the dog hunt plus a reduced price
of $1600 for the moose hunt. If you have a sub-permitee (a
second person who accompanies you on the hunt and can shoot the
moose in place of the permit holder) the fee for this person is
$2100 for the bear hunt (if they too want to hunt bear) plus
$950 for the moose hunt. A non-hunting companion fee is $650.
Notice: Beginning in 2009, moose permit
applications will only be accepted online.
Paper applications will no longer be printed or mailed. The
online application process will be available starting in early
January of 2011. (

This
November hunt is new and offers the opportunity to harvest
either a bull or a cow moose in prime moose country. The earlier
in November the more chance that the Bulls may still
be in the late part of the rut and the guide may
be able to call one in. This is a six day privately
guided, on the ground, stalking hunt which provides the
hunter the opportunity to combo this hunt with a deer hunt. The
hunt would be booked as a regular 5 day guided deer hunt and can
be changed to a combination hunt when and if
you pull a moose tag. This means that you will not be required to put
up any deposit for the moose hunt until you actually get drawn.
If you do not pull a tag then the cost of your regular 5 day
guided deer hunt would remain at $800. If you drew the permit, the cost of the 6 day combo hunt would be $2100 for the moose
hunt plus a reduced price of $600 for the deer hunt. The total
for the combo hunt would be $2700. If you have a sub-permitee (a
second person who accompanies you on the hunt and can shoot the
moose in place of the permit holder), the fee for this person is
$950 for the moose hunt plus a reduced price of
$600 for the deer hunt (if they too want to hunt deer). The
combo total for the sub-permittee would be $1550. A non-hunting
companion fee is $650. |

Hunter to Guide Ratios
Maine Hunts |
North American Hunting
Club Approved |
Although there is no limit on the number of black bear hunters a guide
can put out on stand, we choose to limit our hunter to guide ratio to 5
to 1. We reserve this same ratio for our white tail deer hunts. The
moose hunt is a 1 to 1 ratio unless there is a sub-permitee, which
raises that ratio to 2 to 1. The State of Maine has an established limit
of 3 to 1 on black bear hound hunts, but we personalize our hunt by
limiting our ratio of 2 to 1. In addition, although the state has set no
limit, we limit our bobcat hunts with dogs to this same 2 to 1 ratio.
We abide by the
established 3 to 1 ratio set by New Brunswick law on our Spring black
bear hunts. Our self-imposed ratios ensure that we are able to enhance
the hunting experience and make sure that the hunter is receiving the
personalized service we are known for. |
Stony Brook has been an approved outfitter by the NAHC since 1997 and
has consistently had more recommendation reports each year than any
other guide or outfitter in Maine or New Brunswick.
We have been catering to bear, deer, moose and bobcat hunters since
1980. We take pride in providing a rewarding and successful hunting
experience. We take you to where the game is – no matter what the cost.
Our bear stands are strategically located in prime bear territory. We
scout out active scrapes and rubs for our deer hunters and keep a keen
eye open for areas where the bull moose like to feed. We will travel
wherever necessary to optimize the best snow conditions for our bobcat
hunts. |
