Jackman is well known for its heavy-bodied bucks. There are many bucks taken every year that dress out over 200 pounds. Several are also taken that make it into the Antler and Skull Trophy Club. We specialize in hunting for these prize bucks. The reason why so many hunters flock here to have their chance at a whitetail, is not because there are so many of them, but because of their size. The average 4 1/2 year old buck weighs in at a whopping 200 to 230 pounds, and that's field dressed folks! For more information - Contact Us!

• Our guided deer hunts are mainly in areas with little or no hunting pressure. For the more adventurous hunter, we offer a remote hunt in tent-camps. These hunts are limited to only 4 hunters per week.
• For the trophy hunter, hunt on a one on one with master guide Hal Blood. This is for the serious hunter not only hunting for a big buck but who also wants to learn more on how to hunt these big woods bucks. We also have professional guides that are qualified as well for this hunt.
• For the hunter renting cabins, there is no limit to the areas from which to hunt. We can get you started in good hunting areas.
• For the Bow Hunter, we have archery hunts during the special archery season in October. We have muzzle loader hunts also, in December.
• Our remote camps are located in a remote corner of Maine on the Quebec border. This area was mainly virgin timber, and has just recently been logged. This has created excellent feed for the deer and moose. Much of this area had not been hunted. We have leases in two separate gated areas. We take only small groups in these areas to maintain a good experience and trophy quality. The West Camp is limited to four hunters per week and the group can be mixed. The East Camp is new for 2009 and will be open to one group per week with a maximum of three hunters. We will be hunting from wall tents with woods stoves, cots, etc. Both hunts are fully guided and are a unique opportunity to get away from the crowds.

"I just wanted to drop you a note to thank you for such a great week last week. Sean and I had a great time and considered turning around at the Forks and coming back. Food and accommodations were terrific. Also we can't say enough about Kevin. It was like we were hunting with our long lost friend. Not sure how you managed to hire a guide who is part mountain goat – but great going. I was quite surprised that I actually put on a few pounds last week, I guess that is the best of both worlds."John Lamb

"Your inquiry about booking a hunt with Cedar Ridge Outfitters can be answered in just two words...DO IT! Hal and Debbie Blood are a wonderful, hardworking couple who built their sporting camps for the love of hunting and helping others bag a buck. Hal's incredible knowledge and zest for tracking big woods bucks, coupled with Debbie's proficient eye for cooking and comfort, have made them tops in the business. What's extra special about their operation is that the qualities and talents they possess are equally apparent in the guides and staff they employ."Roger Kingsley

"I just wanted to drop you a line to say that Eric and I had a great time with you and your staff. The accommodations were great, the food unbelievable, and the guides were top notch. I really can't say enough about the professionalism and effort that Kevin and Lee put forth to make our experience a memorable one."Bill Woodhouse

"Thank you for the hospitality and professionalism our group experienced last week at your remote camp. The entire trip was an experience we will not soon forget and we are already looking forward to next year. Mike Featherstone went above and beyond all of our expectations and is the perfect guide for the Remote site. The food was excellent (especially the deserts!!!) and the whole experience of staying in a traditional deer camp was great."Michael Jones

"Hal and Deb, you guy’s are and have a very unique place up there in Maine. I just love spending time there and even enjoy the hard time Hal gives me. You just got to love him. What can I say about your cooking. WOW!!!! Not a better place to fill your belly w/ the best down home meals a MOM could create. And hunt with the best deer hunter this world has seen."Scott Fulner
