About TEN POINT Guide Service

Maine Wilderness

At TEN POINT Guide Service, we don't just take you into the woods—we bring you into the heart of Maine's wilderness. Owned and operated by Tyler Kennedy, a Registered Maine Guide, we offer semi-guided, guided, and fully guided hunting and fishing adventures across eastern and northern Maine.

Based out of Hancock, about 30 minutes from Acadia National Park, we know the land like the animals that live here—from remote trout ponds and streams to prime whitetail territory. Whether you're chasing big game or casting a line in a hidden cove, we'll put you where the action is.

Why the name TEN POINT?

The name TEN POINT is more than just a nod to antler size—it's a tribute to a lifelong friend and mentor. In 2006 on the final day of rifle season, Tyler harvested a 10-point buck from one of his stands. From that moment on, he proudly named that spot the "10 point stand." Though he's no longer with us, his memory lives on through every trip into the woods or onto the water.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is your success rate?

We don't like the terminology of "success rate" as too many factors play into it. In 2024 we had 100% success for bear and turkey hunts, and 80% for deer hunts, but these numbers can vary year to year based on circumstances beyond our control.

Do you offer guaranteed kill or catch?

The only guarantee we give is that each trip will be treated as if we were paying for it ourselves. Your guide will work hard to give you the best experience possible.

What time of year is best to book a trip?

We offer many different hunting and fishing packages. Our guides love to speak with clients about the best time to book based on current or predicted factors. Conversations are free!

What is a traditional Guide's Lunch?

A staple in the Maine guiding industry, often called a shore lunch. This is a hearty meal prepared by your guide outdoors, sometimes consisting of wild game or seafood cooked on a portable grill.

What about meat processing and taxidermy?

We have cold storage available and collaborate with meticulous meat processors and fantastic taxidermists local to the area. These services are an additional fee set by our partners.
