We love hunting with your dog

There is nothing better than walking down a meandering logging trail on a beautiful Maine October day with blue skies, cool crispy temps, and stunning scenery, listening to the dog bells and the thunderous explosions of flushing ruffed grouse. We hunt out of Umcolcus Sporting Camps in Oxbow, Maine. See our upland page for more details.

Paddling the Allagash!

We have the gear, patience and know-how to make a great day for you and your family.

Client feedback

​Lou Forbringer // Sep 27, 2019 "Mike is a great guide. He knows the water, put me on fish, had the right gear, worked hard to keep fly rigs changed and productive, and gave me every opportunity to catch fish (which I did). But, that’s just the beginning! Mike is personable, listens, and communicates well. As we began planning the trip, he understood that what I was looking for was more than a just a couple of days of fishing. In short, he did what he could to ensure I had a memorable experience and I would say that he succeeded beyond expectation. I caught fish and had a great time, making memories that will last a lifetime! I am already trying to determine when I can schedule my next trip with Mike. I recommend him highly and without reservation!" Lou Forbringer St Lois, MO

​Carol Turner // Sep 09, 2019 "What a pleasure it was spending a day on the Penobscot River. The river’s tranquil beauty and excitement of catching fish with friend Nancy C. made for a great day! Our expert guide Mike Hegarty provided all the equipment necessary, a boat load of enthusiasm, encouragement and helpful tips. There wasn’t a care in the world except to enjoy the picnic lunch, company, conversation and laughs! Thanks Mike for making the day fun and memorable! I highly recommend Chick Hill Guide Service for its attention and commitment to provide clients with an exceptional experience!"
