Maine Guided Trapping Trips are the ultimate way to experience the heritage of the North Woods. This is not a classroom; this is a boots-on-the-ground adventure. You will join a Registered Maine Guide on a working trap line, accessing prime private and public lands to pursue Maine’s diverse furbearer population.
Whether you are looking to check "trapping a bear" off your bucket list or simply want to experience the anticipation of checking a line at sunrise, Thibodeau Outdoor Adventures handles the logistics. We provide the equipment, the land access, and the expert knowledge required to be successful. You provide the boots and the drive.

Join us for a multi-day expedition running a mixed-bag trap line. We target water and land species depending on the season and conditions.
Pursue a Black Bear using the most effective method available: the cable foot restraint. This week-long trip maximizes your odds of harvesting a mature bear on private land.
Maine's trapping regulations change frequently, involving specific dates, gear restrictions, and zone boundaries. It's a lot to keep track of.
As Registered Maine Guides, we ensure every set is legal and ethical. We handle the compliance so you can focus entirely on the experience.
