Coyote hunting isn't just about sitting and waiting – it's an active, engaging pursuit that'll test your patience and skill. We'll teach you the art of predator calling, from electronic setups to good old-fashioned mouth calls. You'll learn to read sign, set up in prime locations, and use the wind to your advantage. Our guides are pros at spotting the subtle details that can make or break a hunt, and they're itching to pass that knowledge on to you.

While we don't provide firearms, we'll give you the lowdown on what works best for coyote hunting in Maine. Most hunters opt for flat-shooting rifles in calibers like .223 or .22-250, but shotguns can be deadly effective in thick cover. Don't forget your camo – these sharp-eyed predators will spot anything out of place. We recommend bringing along a good pair of binoculars and a comfortable set of boots, as we'll be covering some ground. Our guides will help you set up with the right calls and decoys to bring those coyotes running.
Coyotes in Maine are no joke. These eastern coyotes are often larger than their western cousins, sometimes tipping the scales at over 50 pounds. They're smart, adaptable, and always on the move. During the day, we'll focus on areas where coyotes are likely to be hunting or traveling – field edges, logging roads, and natural funnels in the terrain. These predators are most active at dawn and dusk, but the challenge of outsmarting them during daylight hours is what makes this hunt so addictive. Maine coyotes have a beautiful, thick coat, especially in winter, making them a prized trophy for predator hunters.
There's something about coyote hunting that gets in your blood. Maybe it's the chess match of trying to outthink a predator, or the rush when you see that grey ghost slinking through the trees towards your call. Our clients rave about the learning experience – even seasoned hunters pick up new tricks on every outing. Plus, with Maine's generous coyote hunting regulations, there's no shortage of opportunity.
