What Our Clients Say

I knew exactly the type and character of guide I wanted. Honest, ethical, law-abiding, and knowledgeable were absolutely must-haves in the guide I wanted to hunt with. After talking with several potential guides in the area I couldn’t find “my perfect guide”. So after a little time thinking about a solution, I called the Game Warden in my area and told him exactly what I wanted in a guide. Without a moment’s hesitation, he said, “You want Josh Haines”! Just that quick I found my guide. I talked with Josh and we got together and I talked with him about what I wanted out of the hunt. The price was also the best value of all the guides I spoke with. He listened and we talked about all aspects of the hunt and the deal was done.

The hunt was fantastic, and Josh took outstanding measures and effort to ensure it was successful. He is a superb and knowledgeable guide and an excellent bush chef! As a 100% disabled veteran, I had some limitations and Josh worked with me on those perfectly. We hunted hard and saw several nice bulls and cows. On the last few days of the hunt, Josh brought on another outstanding guide, Tim, to up our chances of success. Success is exactly what we got, thanks to Josh and Tim, I harvested exactly the cow I was hoping for. I wanted an older barren cow no longer of breeding age and that’s exactly what I got. Thanks to Josh and Tim. She weighed between 700-750 and the meat is absolutely delicious.

If you want to give yourself the absolute best chance to fill a possibility once-in-a-lifetime tag or have a fantastic hunting experience, Josh Haines and 207 Outfitter is your only logical choice.

All meals were provided for including breakfast, lunch, snacks and supper. All the meals were hand made, hearty home cooked style. One evening we were treated to a meal cooked by Josh’s mother and grandmother. We were never hungry! The guides (including their families!) were excellent cooks both in the kitchen and in the field. The bucket of snacks were a big hit with my son, too.

Both guides were very knowledgeable of the animals, the area, and the terrain. Although we were not successful in harvesting a (Cow) Moose, we were not short on seeing them. We had some limitations physically so were limited in our approach and strategies. The guides were more than happy to adapt to us, and did their best to put us in areas where the Moose were.

We were close on a handful of occasions. They also did a great job of keeping my son into the hunt, finding him partridge to harvest.

I would recommend Tim and Josh to anyone doing a Moose hunt in Zone 5 or 6. They’re located in a great spot with a strong population of both Bulls and Cows. They are both incredible people with great attitudes, expansive knowledge and experience. They were happy to share their expertise, and great stories. Although we were not successful, they worked their tails off for us, and we really enjoyed our time with them. We look forward to working with them again and continued friendship.

To put all fears aside, I’ve known this team of Guides at 207 Outfitters for over 20 years. Josh, Tim, Seth and Blaine are not only some of the best woodsmen I’ve known, but also the most professional, polite, patient and fun. I have fished with these guys, hunted moose, turkey and mostly bear over the past 20 plus years. Their attention to the little things is what I respect the most. Their knowledge of the area, the high-quality bait, the safety of the hunt, their pre- planning, the locations they hunt are just a few of the things 207 Outfitters will provide. They all enjoy sharing their knowledge and convey it in the humblest way.

Every year, I look forward to the Bear Hunt with 207 Outfitters. There’s nothing like the weather in Aroostook County, Maine that time of year. It’s enjoyable to play golf at two very nice courses in the morning, then go to an immaculate bear stand to sit for the evening. If you’re curious about the quality of bait, there have been several instances where I’ve “snacked” on it while walking to the stand.

Don’t roll the dice. For an excellent adventure with humble professional Guides in beautiful Maine, 207 Outfitters is a solid choice.
