Moose and wildlife Photography Outing, June 22-26, 2026

June 28, 2026 By Dave Conley

We’ve partnered with Down East Magazine for a unique wildlife photography adventure in the heart of Maine’s North Maine Woods. We utilized two remote lakeside cabins on the shores of a lake renowned for its exceptional moose viewing. During this trip we had more than 60 moose sightings. Late June consistently offers some of the best opportunities to see moose, birds, and other wildlife. The best wildlife viewing and photography takes place on the water at first light and again in the late afternoon and evening. Participants  explored the small lake in solo kayaks, surrounded by spectacular landscapes and abundant wildlife, creating outstanding opportunities for nature and landscape photography. Below is a collection of what our photographers captured during our June 2026 outing.

Interested in doing this outing in 2027?  More info below gallery.

Cost Per Person: $2500.00

Your fee includes:

  • Meals
  • Cabin accommodations
  • North Maine Woods day-use and overnight fees
  • Round-trip transportation from Ashland
  • Solo kayak rental
  • Assistance on and off the water from Master Maine Guide Dave Conley

Whether you’re hoping to photograph a moose emerging from the mist, loons calling across the lake at sunrise, or the rugged beauty of the North Maine Woods, this adventure offers an unforgettable experience in one of Maine’s premier wildlife destinations. Physical requirements: Participants should be comfortable getting in and out of a kayak and paddling approximately 1 to 1½ miles on calm water during each outing.

Maine Moose Hunting Guide and Outfitter

June 18, 2026 By Dave Conley

Dave Conley of Canoe the Wild has been offering guided Maine moose hunts teaming up with Andrew Gibbs of Marsh River Outfitters and a great group of Maine hunting guides for many years. Our remote drive to wall tent moose camp is located in the North Maine Woods in WMD 1 (zone 1). We lease our location from the North Maine Woods, have insurance and a commercial use permit to do so.  The northern most Wildlife Management Districts (WMD) 1,2,4 & 5 have the highest concentration of moose where the most moose permits are awarded. The September and October moose hunting seasons coincide with the rut, September being peak rut.  We’ve been offering these hunts for many seasons with great success. Last season we went 9 for 12 on bulls. Below are two of those bulls harvested during the 2025 season. If you have drawn of permit in another WMD and desire to hunt with us, we can assist you with swapping your permit for zone 1.  Remote Maine moose hunt and  wall tent camp (Below) We’ve been quartering and packing out moose for over 15 years. This allows us to get on foot in pursuit of your moose. simply riding the roads hoping to bump into a moose is becoming a thing of the past as we’ve seen bulls over the seasons, especially the older bulls become more weary and learn to avoid the roads for survival’s sake.

5 Day Allagash Canoe Trip, May 26-30, 2026

June 2, 2026 By Dave Conley

While many of our trips are for adults, families and individuals to take part in, this custom 5 day guided canoe trip was outfitted and guided for the Allagash Wilderness Waterway Foundation (AWWF) Youth on the Allagash (YOTA) Program with High School students from Madawaska and Ashland. Students learned a ton of skills, cooked over an open fire, caught fish, interviewed park ranger Allyssa at Michaud Farms about career opportunities in the outdoors, heard about career opportunities as a Maine Guide from Dave and Jeanie, learned how to be good stewards of the land and water, took part in readings from the latest AWWF books ‘The Allagash Explorer’ and ‘This Extraordinary Place: A Guide to Allagash Ecology’. Jeanie Cote assisted Dave Conley with guiding the trip.
