"We want to thank you both for a great weekend last week. The hunting clinic was just what I was looking for to get ready for deer season. Cindy had the most relaxing time. She really loved the beautiful country. As usual, the food was fabulous. Please thank Erica for her part. I can't wait for November to get here. Have a safe and healthy summer."-- Steve and Cindy Kinky

"Deb- Thanks for the "sustenance" and hospitality. I can't imagine a better outfitter experience exists in the state of ME.
Hal- My thanks and appreciation to you as well for sharing your skills and expertise. I put some of my learning to work up north where there was 2-3" of snow. Located the does and a few big bucks but with only two days to hunt I ran out of time. Much of what you said in the seminar and book have now been internalized with a week in the field. Still hoping to return for the ultimate challenge "tracking".
Best of luck during the muzzleloader season and thanks again."-- Steve and Cindy Kinky

Registered Maine Guide School

A secluded lodge and sporting camp in Northern Maine. Built 10 years ago by Hal & Debbie, with the idea of giving people personalized service and an unique outdoor experience and knowledge with you. Hal first taught this course through the adult education in Jackman from 1994 through 1999. Primarily why we decided to teach this course through Cedar Ridge was that it made it easier for people from a distance to take a course. Being that they get their lodging and meals right here on the premises and they can finish the course in 3 & 1/2 days instead of going one night a week for 13 weeks.

Cost of the Course is $675:
The price includes: Classes, Material, Private & comfortable Lodging, and 3 hearty meals a day. Topnotch Instructors, State Approved Curriculum.

Dates for 2008 Class:
April 24rd - April 27th

Course Description
This course is designed to prepare an individual to take the written and oral exams and become a registered Maine guide. In all categories from hunting, fishing, and recreation to Masters. It will do so with a combination of class room and field work. This course is also great for the individual that just wants to learn more outdoor skills, without taking the exam.

Course Outline
This course will cover subjects including map & compass, canoeing, hunting, fishing, safety, watercraft, observations of animals & recreation, and a fun (but important) night lost person exercise.

Course Goal
Our goal is to prepare you to become a Registered Maine Guide in spirit as well as license. By giving you a better understanding of the responsibilities of guiding in the woods & waters of Maine.
