It’s not often I come across an opportunity that I can pass along to our subscribers that gives you an chance to experience a fantastic hunt with great lodging and incredible meals, and offer a discount to boot. but my friend Nathan Theriault Has offered a chance for you to book a hunt this fall for $300-$400 off, depending on which option you choose. I have been on this hunt and I can highly recommend it. I love the natural beauty of the camp, of Eagle Lake itself, the history of the place and of course the incredible dining in a historical lodge that has been a destination of many Hollywood celebrities who want to get away from it all, and of famous outdoorsmen such as Teddy Roosevelt. 
The hunt is held out of Eagle Lake Sporting Camps on the shores of Eagle Lake, Maine and it’s in the classic northern Maine wilderness but has all the comforts and great bear hunting. They do kill some really big bears, but you are really going there for the overall experience and to have a shot at a nice representative bear. A real giant might be a bonus. Just a note on why these hunts are available at this price. Cabela’s has been booking hunts for OMM outfitters but as I am sure you have heard, Cabela’s was bought out by Bass Pro Shops which left a lot of outfitters caught in the middle. You may never see a chance like this come along again to get a discount on a highly desirable hunt. I have experienced this hunt and I can highly recommend it.
