A Variety of Maine Adventures

The last four days have been busy at Northeast Guide Service. With the peak foliage and progressing moose rut we have had extremely successful safaris. We have had all the tours out; van, canoe, group, private, and birdwatching tours. Every tour has had the same response, "What wonderful scenery and the colors are amazing." We have seen a total of 20 moose in four days and the bulls have been all over the place. The wildlife in general has been very cooperative and fun to watch. Turkey, deer, fox, grouse, beavers. ducks, loons bluebirds and of course moose have all be a pleasure to have on these tours. It has been a rainy stretch of weather but that hasn't bothered us or the animals. We have some adventurers out on a waterfall hike this morning and I would expect there to see some great pictures of this water fall in autumns glory when they get back. Once again I would like to thank everyone who's joined us and made this and awesome season.  

It's Not Always About The Sights.

Last nights canoe moose safari had eight people from all over, including one guest from Germany. These guests had only seen moose in pictures. Well, that all changed with the drive into the pond. Two very large cow moose graced the group with some photo ops and every one was excited. At the pond, the group heard the mating call of a large bull moose. They waited and looked really hard but he never showed himself. That didn't matter, the excitement and anticipation was well worth it. Everyone had a great time and all of the sights keep getting better everyday. So come join us and experience a wonderful outdoor adventure in the Maine wilderness.

Mixed Bag Of Weather

We had typical fall conditions yesterday on our AM and PM moose safaris. There were showers on the AM van tour and clear, cool, and windy conditions on the PM canoe tour. Both tours encountered moose, one tour saw a huge bull and it was the talk of the trip. Seeing wildlife in Maine is a great experience and seeing a bull of this stature is a thrill of a lifetime. The wildlife count on these trips were, six moose and two deer. All of our guests enjoyed their adventures and were very happy with the wildlife and the changing leaves of autumn. The views are incredible and to some people that have never experienced fall in New England this is a trip that will be remembered for a long time.      

Signs of Autumn

Last night's private canoe tour enjoyed a beautiful clearing evening. The sun was very welcomed after a morning of heavy rain, the local wildlife was out enjoying it as well. Our guests got to experience  rabbits, turkeys, one cow moose, and howling coyotes on this moose safari. This mornings adventure was with a family of four from Ohio. The weather was great and so were the animals. This tour produced one whitetail deer, one rabbit, one coyote, two loons, and five moose. The moose count was three cows and two yearlings and our family from Ohio was impressed. The moose are becoming more and more active and the leaves are starting to slowly show signs of autumn. This time of year is a great time to go on a moose safari with Northeast Guide Service.
