Our class covers Fishing, Hunting, Recreational & Tidewater guide test classifications.
Maine is one the most honored States in the Union for it's elite guides and becoming a Registered Maine Guide is not to be taken lightly. Passing the Maine Guides test is one of the toughest licensing procedures in the U.S. and wearing a Maine Guides patch is one of the most respected symbols in the hunting & fishing industry across the world!
Classes are $495.00 (But check our specials below!) it requires a "minimum" of $100 non-refundable deposit, any remaining balance is due at class.

NEW Class Requirements Effective immediately! We will be covering this new information starting with our March 17-19th class! A (2019 or 2022) Delorme Gazetteer edition is required when testing in Augusta (NO previous use markings allowed) You will be tested on GPS use effective April 2023 as well! Due to this new change....The following 3 items are required for our classes! 1- A Phone app pre-installed. Requirements for all future guide classes will be that you have previously download one of these two apps installed on your phone prior to your class. (No GPS used in this class, phone apps only.) NOTE: If you want use a GPS for this part of your exam and need assistance doing this, you will have to book a one on one GPS class, time does not allow me to teach everyone specific GPS model usage. Sorry. Download either: 1- The Garmin App that comes with several of their products, such as an Inreach, Alpha, GPSMap series products, the App is called Earthmate or Garmin Explore App. 2– This is my preferred app - the Delorme Gazetteer Maps for $19.99?? for use on the Avenza Maps App that can be downloaded from your phone, this is a great lower cost option rather than buying a Garmin product to obtain their product app. You need to Download "Avenza Maps App" from the App store After installed on your phone, Select it and open the app, click the download arrow at the top right of your screen beside the 3 dots. Now select “Get Maps From The Avenza Map Store” in the search bar and type the word “Maine” and look for the Bundle called Maine Atlass & Gazetteer 2022 and make the purchase. There may be a step or two beyond that to get the maps into this app but you will have the complete Gazetteer in your phone. This app can be used to complete the new GPS portion of the exam. 2- 2019 or 2022 Gazetteer 3 - Mapping Compass (clear baseplate type Compass)
We have available Mirror Compasses, Basic Mapping Compasses, Compass Protractors, GPS Mapping Rulers, and a few more class related items for student purchase only. |
