"I and my family have participated in Dave's wilderness trips since 2000. Dave has an infectious love for the wilderness and a passion for sharing it with others. He is an expert guide with an extensive knowledge of remote and beautiful locations for camping, paddling, whitewater, and fishing. His professionalism and organization as well as attention to detail distinguish him from any other wilderness guide in the northeast. He also is an excellent teacher who generously and patiently will share as much of his knowledge and experience in canoeing, camping, cooking, wilderness safety, photography, and trip planning as you care to have. In short, Dave is a highly professional, expert guide who will provide you with a high quality, safe, wilderness adventure, matched to your experience and who will generously share and teach his knowledge of the outdoors with you, your family or group".

"I renewed my interest in camping and canoeing when I met Dave in 2006.  My intent was to do one white water trip that year. Before the season was over, with Dave’s encouragement, I had done several trips. Dave enjoys the outdoors and canoeing. He is skilled and professional in leading wilderness trips. I have been on numerous trips with Dave, the St Croix here in Maine, the Mistissibi River, and the de Pas rivers in Quebec to name a few".

"Over the years, Dave has guided my grade 7 & 8 students on several adventures, ranging from winter camping, to Allagash  canoe trips, to a several mile bicyle rides.  He also once guided a short cross country ski trip. All of these adventures were professionally organized and led by Dave. Kids had fun while learning valuable outdoor skills.  Dave knows his business, and has an excellent manner with kids.  Parents trust that their children will be safe with him, and what could be more important than that". Chuck Murphy,Principal/ East Range II School, email:cmurphy@eastrangeii.org

 

 

"Dave  has worked for the East Grand School for 15 years.  During that time he has lead the Outdoor Education program to a place where the students have prospered as outdoor leaders and the program has gained state-wide recognition. Dave  is a quality individual with a tremendous work ethic. I have participated in a number of his activities through the  Outdoor Education program and have spent time hunting with him.  He leads a  well organized, disciplined and effective outing.  It is without hesitation that I would recommend Dave Conley's guide service to anyone". David Apgar, Principal, East Grand High School, email: dapgar@eastgrandschool.org 

"I waited over 20 years to be drawn for a Moose permit.  Dave did the pre-season scouting for me, and we had a bull sighting shortly after daybreak.  After locating a good place to set up for shooting, Dave called three moose in. What a  thrill it was to fill my antler-less permit on the first morning!" Al Look, Richmond, Maine email: lookslesson@yahoo.com

 

"Dave started calling and we could hear a cow and then a bull at some distance, Dave's idea to call and stock our moose paid off and proved to be very successful for our first moose hunt". Tom Cronkite, Etna, Maine Tel. 207-735-4420

 

"Dave is very knowledgeable about the surrounding areas and calling in the moose. His expertise is evident in how he prepares to how he performs.  Although we only used Dave for one day it was well worth it as we bagged a very desirable prize". John Madera, Patterson New York, email: jjmsr26@verizon.net

"I had an awesome moose hunt... one of my best memories was staring down a bull moose at close range. Every time Dave would thrash the brush, the moose would drop his head and thrash the brush. This lasted for nearly 30 minutes, I could have shot it with my bow. We had several encounters at close range!" Seth Snowman, St. Albans, Maine. email: snowman004@hotmail.com

 

"Dave was well organized and well prepared in every area to ensure a successful moose hunt. He went above and beyond to help us have a great moose hunt experience. He demonstrated his expertise in pre-season scouting, calling in our bull, field dressing our trophy to even recommending a local butcher and local accommodations. I highly recommend his guiding services!" Barry Gillette, Unity, Maine. email: nasabe@uninets.net

 

"I had one of the most amazing experiences of my life. I had never hunted before, yet Dave treated me with the same respect he would have a seasoned hunter. He went above and beyond and worked tirelessly to make my experience a good one. His knowledge about the hunt and his interpersonal skills make him a great choice for a guide. It really was a once in a lifetime opportunity. Thank you, Dave!" Tara Matula, Unity, Maine, email: vonhausmatulagsd@yahoo.com
