Outfitter Overveiw
Under New Ownership
As you may know, for the past few years, Big Boom’s Northern Maine Adventures has operated at Crooked Tree Lodge in Portage Maine, providing big and small game hunting throughout the North Maine Woods. Over the past year, there has been several changes, including the passing of good friend, Karl “Boomer” Nott.
In the transaction, the new operations will be handled by Franklin Clark and Frank Granich. With the acquisition, the team plans to continue operations of Bear, Deer, Bird and Moose Hunting, The website will be refreshed and updated for the different Hunting Packages and Pricing by the end of the year.
A big change that you’ll see in the 2022 season, is a vast improvement in our cabins and overall accommodations as plans are in place for renovations beginning as soon as the weather allows throughout and after winter.
The team is excited about the acquisition and will continue to operate with many of the top-notch Great guides that you’ve worked with in the past, including the best dog hunters in the North Maine Woods; Denny, Bill and Tim. We are also excited to announce that Percy & Gloria Nott, Boomer’s mother and father, are coming back. They have agreed to come back and help run the camp during the hunting seasons. Each year, our bear hunting camp will formally be known as “Big Boom’s Memorial Bear Hunt at Crooked Tree Lodge”, in memory of our good friend Karl.
We are very excited for what the coming years may bring and look forward to sharing this venture with you. Our goal is to become a World Class Outfitter. Frank and Franklin are very humble people but we are very proud to help you make your hunting trip a very memorable and enjoyable experience.
