We take our guiding seriously. We are committed to giving every one of our hunters the hunt of a lifetime – one to enjoy and remember. Our goal is to make this hunting trip productive and memorable. We hope to make it the best hunt and vacation you have ever had.

History:

The owners, Bob & Jaye Parker established Stony Brook in 1980 because of the great appreciation of Maine’s vast wilderness and game. Both grew up in families that were hunting and fishing enthusiasts and it just seemed right that we wanted to share that knowledge and experience with others. We began this adventure and found it to be exactly what we envisioned.

We specialize in big game hunting and offer personalized professional outdoor adventures. Our commitment to you is to assist you in making your hunt productive as well as memorable. We offer Black Bear with hounds, Black Bear over bait, White Tail Deer, Moose and Bobcat hunts. Our hunter to guide ratio is 2 to 1 on Black Bear and Bobcat hound hunts, 5 to 1 on Black Bear over bait and Deer hunts and 1 to 1 on Moose hunts. We limit the number of hunters per week to match these ratios thus keeping our commitment for personalized services. We provide all meals, lodging, transportation to and from the hunting area and guiding services. Prices are all inclusive, with the exception of licenses and permits and there are NO gate or hidden fees.

Location/Terrain:

Stony Brook Lodge is located just outside of the small town of Wilton, in the foothills of Maine’s Western Mountains and hunt the surrounding land including Rangeley Lakes region. Our hunting area covers a vast area of about 3500 SQUARE MILES. We do this to insure that we do not over harvest the area we hunt thus insuring you the opportunity for trophy game. Most of this area is paper company lands where we lease bear bait sites. We also hunt some public and private lands as well. The Western Mountains of Maine is well known for its unique mix of swamps, beech and oak ridges, softwoods and apple orchards and rugged remote terrain. The vastness of this area provides excellent habitat and feed for the big game we are looking to harvest.

Lodging:

Sunset View Lodge has a main lodge where the dining room is lo

cated. There are two bunk rooms upstairs over the kitchen / dining room, each of which can accommodate 6 people. We have 3 cabins, all of which contains a woodstove, gas refrigerator, gas stove, gaslights, a toilet and running water. Two of the cabins can accommodate 6 people each and one holds two. These rustic cabins are unique and charming. Plenty of room to spread out and you can enjoy the view of the lake from your screened in porch. Each group will have their own cabin or bunkroom. The shower house provides hot showers with a gas hot water heater and all wate

r is gravity fed. The gen

erator is run periodically during the day and every evening providing lighting for the meals and skinning.

Summer Cabin Rentals:

Spend a week on beautiful Palfrey Lake enjoying the peaceful days topped with spectacular sunsets. The rusic cabins have gas refrigerators, stoves and lights. Each has running water and flush toilets. The shower house provides hot showers. Come and enjoy the beauty, the serenity and the relaxation. Incredible ATV riding available as well!

Bear Hunt Over Bait:

New Brunswick is noted for its abundant population of Black Bear and we do everything in our power to help you harvest one of these trophy animals. We personally transport and guide you to your bear bait stand, bait the site for you, and pick you up after shooting hours. We have approximately 150 bait sites that we keep active by baiting every day. The bear are baited with special baits and scents that will draw the bears from long distances and will keep them coming back. All hunters are put on active bear stands and we move you every two days if you have not scored. All tree stands are permanent stands 12’ to 14 ‘ high. Tree stand shots vary from 12 to 20 yards – Bow stands offer 12 to 14 yard shots. We also have numerous ground blinds that offer more comfort and longer shots. All stands are strategically located to provide cover for the hunter and natural habitat for the game. Although the average weight of a spring bear is slightly less than in the fall, you will not find a more plush or soft bear hide and the hide squares the same as a fall bear. The average bear weighs 150 pounds but we have taken bear weighing over 500 pounds. Our weights are actual scaled weights – not estimates!

Although we do not guide fishermen, we provide our spring bear hunters with boats, motors and gas at no additional cost. You need to bring your own life jackets and fishing tackle (ie: rods, reels, flies or lures etc.)

MAXIMUM HUNTER TO GUIDE RATIO = 3 / 1

Bear Hunt With Hounds:

This hunt is one of the most exciting hunts in the Northeast. We have 14 highly experienced proven bear hounds to find and track your Black Bear with. Our dog handlers have been running hounds since their youth and work as a team with the hounds on the hunt. You get to participate in the hunt by helping handle the dogs. You will also earn an appreciation of the dog’s ability to track and run this admired trophy animal and your guide’s knowledge of his dogs and the game you are hunting. We use state of the art telemetry tracking equipment to follow and track our hounds. While this is a highly successful hunt it also allows the hunter the opportunity to size up the bear with the help of an experience guide. You are under no obligation to shoot anything that does not meet your standards. Hound hunting gives the hunter the unique opportunity to practice catch and release! The average bear weighs about 170 pounds but we have taken bear weighing over 600 pounds! Our success rate for this hunt averages 95%. Hound hunters, in the month of October, can take advantage of the grouse hunting while in chase, so plan on bringing your shotgun as a bonus.

5 Day Sport Fishing Package: Unguided

Maine is well known for its abundance of waterways which support numerous fish species. Our area has numerous lakes, ponds, streams and rivers which host Land Locked Salmon, Touge (lake trout), Rainbow and Brook Trout, and Large and Small Mouth Bass. We do not guide fishing trips (we can recommend one) but many of our hunters take advantage of overlapping seasons to wet a line. You need to provide your own fishing gear, bait, lures, etc. Bring your own boat to really take advantage of this opportunity.

Bass fishing at its best 

Palfrey Lake, one of the southern most lakes of the East Grand Lakes, is historically know for its impressive ability to produce trophy Landlocked Salmon, Small mouth Bass, White Perch and Pickerel. This body of water, with its rocky shoreline and bottom, provides incredible habitat for fishing and excellent lake structure to produce trophy fish.

We provide the sport fisherman with a dedicated 14-ft aluminum boat, with a 15 horsepower outboard motor and all the gas you will need. Your cost includes your meals, lodging and the boat, motor and gas. You need to provide your own life jacket and fishing tackle (ie: rods, reels flies or lures, etc.)

MAXIMUM 3 FISHERMEN PER BOAT

Moose Hunting:

Maine has the healthiest population of this incredible animal than anywhere else in the continental USA. A permit drawing controls this trophy hunt. Applications are available on-line at http://www.maine.gov/ifw/index.shtml . If you are fortunate enough to draw a permit, we can show you where the trophy moose are plentiful. The body weight and antler size of the Maine moose is world class. Success rates are extremely high. Most of the time, moose hunting is done driving on old wood roads, scanning old cuttings where this animal spends much of its time feeding. We also encourage walking the outskirts of the cuttings hoping to come across a moose bedded down. Our guides are also versed in the art of calling. We can be flexible with the type of hunting you prefer. Let Stony Brook Outfitters make this once in a lifetime trip one to remember. Zones we guide in are 8, 7, 14, 12, & 13 (Oct only) and 16 (Nov only). More infomation on the Maine Moose hunt can be found by clinking on the following link. http://www.maine.gov/ifw/licenses_permits/lotteries/moose/

Deer Hunting:

Harvesting a trophy Maine buck is truly a memorable experience and will test the skills and abilities of any hunter. Our guides know the area we are hunting and concentrate on areas where there is evidence of big bucks. Our experienced guides are looking for the big rubs and active scrapes. Our terrain consists of rolling hills with a healthy mix of hard and softwoods. We have swamps, beech and oak ridges, some farmland and an occasional abandoned apple orchard. We hunt over active scrapes, rubs, deer trails and feeding area. We will assist the hunter in putting up a portable tree stand (if he/she wants to bring one), or we can make a ground blind. We also encourage still-hunting, which can be described as "sneak and peak". One has to move very slowly, hunt into the wind, and be aware of the surroundings. Knowing how to read a compass and having a GPS is also helpful. Patience is very important. Big bucks don’t often make mistakes.

Our Maine woods offer a challenging opportunity to bag a buck of a lifetime. Maine’s Western Mountains are noted for its trophy size deer. In addition to deer, also in season and covered by your hunting license is bear, coyote, rabbits, and partridge (roughed grouse). We do not charge any extra if you are lucky enough to tag any of these additional animals during your deer hunt.

MAXIMUM HUNTER TO GUIDE RATIO = 5 / 1

Bobcat Hunt With Hounds:

Bobcat hunting is one of the most physically challenging hunts in the Northeast. It is done by traveling wood roads early I the morning, whether by 4-wheel drive or snowmobile, looking for respectable cat tracks to put the dogs on. Snow conditions are of great importance to this hunt. Hunters should be in good physical condition as the hunt could require walking long distance on deep snow with snowshoes. It can get extremely cold so you need to bring long underwear, heavy socks, shirts, pants, sweatshirt with a hood, vest, wool pants, wool coat, mittens, felt lined packs and a boot dryer.

We will go wherever necessary to insure that you get the best snow conditions for your hunt. This is a six day hunt. You arrive Sunday afternoon and depart the following Sunday morning.

HUNTER TO GUIDE RATIOS

Maine Hunts

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.

New Brunswick

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.

LICENSES / PERMITS

Stony Brook Outfitters sells you your licenses and permits right at the lodges. You do not have to go out to a store or worry about having to apply for a draw for your Black Bear, White Tail Deer, or Bobcat hunting licenses, as these are available right at Stony Brook Lodge when you arrive. Moose hunting licenses are an exception, as this hunt requires a Lottery draw controlled by the State of Maine.
