About the outfitter

Master Maine Guide Jesse Derr keeps trips small.

Boggy Brook Outfitters is a local Maine hunting guide company based in Ellsworth, serving guests who want personal attention instead of a crowded camp.

The legacy owner letter explains the operating model directly: Boggy Brook guides only a limited number of people, because keeping the outfitter small preserves the personal feeling and individual attention that can disappear in larger operations.

The company uses traditional ways of hunting while adding new ideas that maximize success rates. Hunting and fishing are presented as family time in Maine outdoors, with the goal of helping guests leave with good memories from their stay.

Owner note

Prepared like a guide service, run like a small camp.

Bear sites are prepared months ahead. Deer land is checked through the year. Turkey hunts leave early with blinds, calls, and decoys ready. Moose guiding starts with the drawn permit and selected WMD.
