About JR Guide Service
in Jackman, Maine
Thank you for your interest in JR Guide Service. JR Guide Service was established in May of 2008 by Jeffrey A. Reese, Registered Maine Guide and CEO. Jeff was born with a love for the outdoors and most of his time growing up in southwest Michigan was spent hunting, trapping and fishing.
Though there are magnificent areas everywhere in Maine, it was the challenging terrain and dramatic natural beauty of Jackman, that made Jeff decide, this would be the home of JR Guide Service.
Jeff has spent the past several years hunting and scouting the Jackman area. He is very knowledgeable of the area and the animals that live in its forests and streams. Knowing the behavior of key game species - bear, moose, deer, coyote – gives him the ability to distinguish what areas are prime hunting grounds.
During the first year of operation, Jeff's wife Elaine stayed behind the scenes, advertising, finance, etc. The second year, 2009, she wanted to experience firsthand what it takes to run a guide business, so from behind the desk she came. That’s all it took, one taste of the great outdoors and there was no turning back. She successfully completed the requirements from the Maine Dept. of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife and is now a registered Maine guide. Along with honing her fly fishing skills, Elaine is working on some day trips for kayaking, hiking, biking and ATV rides.
Jeff and Elaine are both members of the Professional Maine Guide’s Association, and Jeff is a member of the Sportsman’s Alliance of Maine (S.A.M.), the NRA and the North American Hunting Club.
We welcome parents who want to teach their children about the great outdoors and first time hunters. Jeff and Elaine believe in the time honored tradition of hunting and in keeping this tradition alive for future generations. This, plus our knowledge, love and respect of the outdoors is the key to our success as guides. Let us give you the opportunity of a lifetime to experience the thrill of hunting and fishing in the Jackman, Maine area.
2009 was a very exciting year for JR Guide Service. We provided nine guests with the opportunity to see bear and harvest bear. Two of our hunters contributed to the sixty eight bear that were taken on opening day, August 31, 2009, in Jackman, Maine.
