Meet Bob Kays
Over 40 years guiding in the Maine wilderness. Bob Kays has spent a lifetime in these woods — guiding moose, deer, and bird hunts, training pointing dogs and beagles, and welcoming hunters and outdoor enthusiasts to Wadleigh Mountain Camps in Oxbow, Maine.
Our Story
Bob Kays has been hunting the Maine woods for over 40 years, and he knows this country like the back of his hand. Wadleigh Mountain Camps sits deep in the heart of Maine's prime game territory, offering guided hunts for moose in Wildlife Management Districts 5, 6, and 2, along with deer, upland bird, and rabbit hunting across thousands of acres of wild timberland.
What sets Wadleigh Mountain Camps apart is the full experience. Hunters stay right at camp in comfortable lodging, eat home-cooked meals, and head out each morning with a guide who's spent a lifetime learning these ridges, bogs, and hardwood cuts. Whether you're chasing a bull moose in September or working behind dogs on grouse and woodcock, Bob puts you in the right spot.
Bob is also a seasoned dog trainer with over 40 years of experience developing bird dogs and beagles. He trains pointers and setters for upland bird work and beagles for rabbit hunting — dogs that are steady, reliable, and ready for the field. If you're looking for professional gun dog training alongside some of the best hunting in New England, Wadleigh Mountain Camps is the place.
