My  love for the woods came at a young age at our family camp on St. Froid Lake where I began hunting, trapping, fishing , and exploring the Great North Maine Woods. I've been in the logging industry for the last 30 years. My guiding career came along in 2004 where it lead to the beginning of a life long dream. I had the opportunity to buy Big Machias Lake Camps in 2017 after working there for a few years. I am excited with what it has to offer and all its present and future potential. The greatest enjoyment my wife and I have is seeing the smiling faces and hearing the great stories the hunters share with us after a day in the woods.

I was .Born and raised in Millinocket Me, and have always had a love for the outdoors and wildlife. I enjoy my time hunting and fishing as well as many other recreational activities. I enjoy learning new things every day I'm in the woods. Jeff and I met in 2017 and found out we make a great team together. We both have high expectations for Big Machias Camps and look forward to each and every new hunting season and the people they bring.

Toms St. Pierre has been a lifelong hunter and outdoorsman. He has hunted deer and turkey his whole life. Ten years ago he discovered bear hunting over bait. He and his wife fell in love with the sport. Since then he obtained his Maine Guide’s license in order to bring others bear and moose hunting.

Tom is married to his wife Nikki who is just as avid of a hunter. In 2016 his wife Nikki, pulled a Maine Moose hunting permit (kind of a once in a lifetime deal). That was the year he discovered the heart of the North Maine Woods and the rest was history. Since then he has been guiding bear and moose hunters for Big Machias Lake Camps.

For a fairly new guide, Tom has a high success rate and is dedicated to ensuring his clients get the experience that will make memories for a lifetime.
