“Our family had an awesome day ice fishing with Jim and his brother. With 49 fish caught, we were running for the flags all day (or riding on the snow machines for the distant tip-ups). Jim brought along all the gear and all the extra conveniences to keep us happy. Fresh caught fish, breaded & fried right there on the ice, grilled up some hotdogs, a heated ice tent, even a propane campfire for s’mores.Couldn’t have asked for a better day!” Todd Sprague, Waterboro, Maine
“First time ice fishing and had a blast. Jim is an excellent guide and super knowledgeable. He taught me how to set up and bait the traps and even showed me a better way to tie on the hook. Was able to catch my first northern pike, landed five species and even caught my PB largemouth. Jim had a shelter and a heater set up to keep you warm and plenty of snacks and soup to eat between chasing flags.” Zach Hileman, Georgia
“If what you seek is leisure canoe paddling down a famous Maine river, a guide who knows all the Native American history of the great state of Maine, 5 Star riverside meals, soaring bald eagles constantly overhead, and to catch so many small mouth bass that your arms will ache, then this trip with retired US Marine Captain, Jimmy Neville, is just what you need to add to your bucket list. A Maine native, with an awesome wife who helps with all the logistics, Jimmy is as fine a gentleman as you’ll ever meet!!!”
Ralph H Stevens III Limington, Maine
“Jim and Jon made our first bear hunt the trip of a lifetime, they not only got us on bear but also took time to show us how great the state of Maine really is. If your looking to go on a guided bear hunt, I can assure you no one will work harder than Neville Outdoors.”
Jaron Underhill – English, Indiana
“To all my Mainahs and hunters all over the U.S. If you’re looking for an awesome guide, Jim Neville is the best around. He was super knowledgeable. Retired Marine. He loves his country, his family and the outdoors. His goal is to put you in front of the animal you want to harvest. I can’t wait to meet up with him again soon.”
Rob Stitham -Sherwood, Arkansas
“I had the opportunity to meet Jim on a bear hunt…an awesome man and a great guide.”

“What a great adventure! Thank you, Jim, for all of your hard work, but more so for helping me as first-time bear hunter close the deal.”

If you’re looking to become a Registered Maine Guide, definitely take Jim Neville’s course!! From start to finish, it was the most informative class I’ve ever taken of any kind. Jim will you show everything, make sure that you understand it and how to apply it. I felt more than ready the day I walked in to take my Guides Exam. Thank you Jim!!
John Walsh – Lincoln, Maine
Whether you are in need of a top notch professional Maine Guide or if you, like myself and many others, feel that inner drive to work hard and challenge yourself to become one too, Jim Neville Outdoors is the place to go! You will find a wealth of knowledge, a military veteran, a great cook, a dedication to the outdoor heritage of Maine and a man with a passion to share it with others! Thank you for everything Jim!
Jeff Cash -Ellsworth, Maine
I couldn’t have asked for a better guide! Jim is extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and made the trip very enjoyable. He was always willing to answer my questions, and to teach me things I might not know about the local wildlife. His hospitality was second to none, for example, he always had ice cold water waiting for you when you got out of the woods. Things that could be considered seemingly minor details, definitely made for a better trip! I know I’ll be back next year.
