We at Downeast Outfitters take safety very seriously; we provide the finest of equipment from our 21' Scott Freighter Canoes, to our Honda 4 Stroke outboards. We prefer to use our big canoes on lakes and rivers. We also incorporate the use of 16 and 18 foot Old Town canoes for small stream and pond fishing. Wading the famous Grand Lake Stream watershed, or the scenic banks of the Penobscot West Branch are two of our most popular trips. If it is sheer numbers of fish you are after, nothing beats a float trip down the Lower Penobscot River for Smallmouth Bass and the scenery it provides. We provide some of the best hunting opportunities that Maine has to offer, whether your choice is Grouse hunting (we locals call them "partridge") over dogs or big game hunting for Moose, White Tailed Deer, or Coyote we have something for you. All full day trips include a guide-prepared traditional "shore lunch" that you will not soon forget. From the reflector oven baked goods to the campfire coffee, our lunches are second to none! If you prefer we can also provide a picnic style lunch if you would rather spend your time on the water or in the woods.
Black Bear Black Eagle Outfitters Chris Read Box 308 South China, Maine 04358 Phone 207-592-4849 EMAIL   WEBSITE	Black Eagle Outfitters is located in South China, Maine; part of Southern Kennebec County. We have thousands of acres of private and public land available for hunting. We travel to the Western Mountains to hunt black bears. Black bears are thriving in Maine as we have one of the highest densities of black bear in the United States.Our black bear hunts are in the beautiful White Mountains near the Maine and New Hampshire border. Black bears are tend to be a more nocturnal creature; which is why most hunters pursue their quarry in the late afternoon and early evening hours. However, there are occasions when some bears like to visit the bait sites early in the morning. We use trial cameras at most bait sites to monitor the bear activity and the best times to hunt. We have hunted the bears in this area for years with excellent results. The rugged White Mountains provide the best habitat for large black bears. Maine has one species of bear, Ursus Americanus. Get more information on these beautiful omnivores.

Maine is home to one of the largest of the 30 recognized subspecies of white-tailed deer. After attaining maturity at age five, our bucks can reach record live weights of nearly 400 lbs. Most adult bucks, however will normally range from 200 to 300 lbs live weight, and will stand 36 to 40" at the shoulder. Does are considerably smaller; they normally weigh 120 to 175 lbs live weight. Newborn fawns begin life at 4 to 10 lbs, but grow to approximately 85 lbs live weight in their first 6 months of life. White-tails have keen hearing, made possible by large ears that can rotate toward suspicious sounds. They have wide-set eyes, enabling them to focus on subtle movements, while maintaining an excellent sense of depth perception. White-tails have a very keen sense of smell enabling them to sense danger, even when visibility is poor. Deer have long graceful legs, enabling them to cover ground quickly by leaping, bounding, turning and outright running at speeds up to 40 mph. Their trademark white tail, when erected, flashes a danger signal to other deer in the vicinity. White-tailed deer communicate using a variety of sounds, ranging from explosive "whooshes" when startled, to the barely audible mews and grunts a doe uses to tend to her fawns. Deer are very expressive; they employ a large repertoire of signals using facial expressions and body language. These postures help to maintain the dominance hierarchy within all deer groups. Deer also communicate using odors, which emanate from a number of scent glands. These glands occur between the toes, on the shins, the hock, the forehead, near each eye, and inside the nose. The contents of each gland, when rubbed onto a tree or the ground, helps deer to know who their neighbors are, and what each deer is doing at any given time. Bucks annually produce antlers, which are made of bone. Triggered by day length and maintained by hormone production, antlers begin growing in April, and are nurtured by a velvety outer network of skin tissue and bloodvessels. Velvet is shed when growth is complete in late August and September. The hardened, polished antlers remain until they are shed in late December to early March. In white-tails, antlers allow bucks to advertise and demonstrate their dominance; hence they play a role in reproduction. A buck's first true set of antlers normally is grown by age 1 ½. Buck fawns, however, begin growing the antler base at 1 month of age. This base develops into 2 or 3 inch velvet-covered "nubbins" by early winter. White-tailed does sometimes produce antlers, but this is rare. Does that do sprout antlers typically are older (5 to 15 years old); their antlers are usually velvet-covered spikes. Most antlered does remain fertile.Each year, deer produce two coats of hair, each adapted to seasonal climate. In late spring, deer grow a coat of fine, short reddish hair. This pelage allows ample air circulation and helps the deer to stay cool in summer's heat. During September, deer molt to a highly insulative coat which consists of a dense layer of fine woolly hair under a layer of long hollow brown, gray, and white guard hairs. The guard hairs can be erected to form a very thick insulative coat, which protects against the cold winds of winter. Fawns are born with a reddish-brown coat dappled with white spots. This affords excellent camouflage against detection by predators in the summer. By early autumn, fawns grow the typical winter coat.Another adaptation for survival is the deer's habit of storing fat for the winter. In autumn, deer accumulate fat under the skin, in the viscera, between the muscles, and in the hollow bones of the legs. This fat layer can comprise 10 to 25% of a deer's body weight by late fall. In winter, fat is reabsorbed to provide much-needed energy to supplement inadequate diets of woody browse.
