moose hunting up there! Enjoy.

What is best gun club in the area ?
I shoot pistols and have an AR,308 and. 10/22
I also have a shotgun but have never tried trap or skeet
My wife is from Eagle Lake, her brother still lives in Eagle Lake and the kids go to school in Ft. Kent I believe. I will ask him about gun clubs but I don't think there are any, folks just go shoot in a sand pit or something. People usually just sight in the hunting rifle and call it good.
Wait to see the snow in winter!
No help to you other than by a snowmobile. You have access to some of the best riding in the state at your back door, 5 months out of the year.
Congrats on the movie it's a great area. Everyone is very friendly from my experience. I usually go up for 4 or 5 days in February. Would like to go up more but it's a haul.It’s definitely in the plan
isnt there a new range way up in northern maine with a 2000 yard target that got a little discussion on this board?
FIFY.Drive down a logging road for 10 minutes. Set up your target. Drive back to the beginning and start shooting.
Boston to fort Kent and Boston to DC are about the sameSomeone once told me that if you start at the top of Maine and drove to the bottom, you were half way to DC. Never checked the validity.
In Mid coat Maine, I'm closer to new York city than ft. Kent.
It's a great area: people, food, scenery, outdoors, etc.
The What??Enjoy the weekend of Summer.

Well, it's not pinky finger Champaign country, but I guess you never a availed yourself of any authentic French cuisine in your travels there. Not white tablecloth French, but "Valley French".Alright, you got to help me the "food" aspect here, what food? Gas Stations that double as pizza places and also sell fry mix, that is about it up there, at that is my experience.

Well, Eagle Lake is kind of a dead zone as far as amenities. We've snowmobiled out of the Overlook countless times. The only restaurant was The Tamarac (we called it Tammy's Rack) and it weren't the best. Go to any mom and pop restaurant anywhere from Van Buren to Allagash and order ployes, poutine, or of they have it, tourtiere.Never that lucky, gas station pizza in Eagle Lake has been my experience so far unfortunately. I will ask the next time we are up there. Maybe something in Ft. Kent that the BIL is aware of
