About Epic Adventures
BEN ALLEN – OWNER – REGISTERED MAINE GUIDE
Epic Adventures LLC. was founded over a decade ago by Brian Donaghy and is now owned and operated by Registered Maine Guide Ben Allen. Maine moose hunting has been a passion of Ben’s ever since he went on his first moose hunt as a boy. Ben joined his father and grandfather on that first family moose hunt and the memory is still vivid to this day. It was that hunt that ignited a lifelong desire in Ben, to accumulate the woodsman skills necessary to become a successful moose hunter, big woods deer hunter, and a Registered Maine Guide. After ending his military service, Ben was able to carry on his passion for moose hunting and has participated in the Maine moose hunt each year since. When not guiding, Ben has worked as a logger and is an avid hunter and fisherman spending countless hours in the forests of Maine. He enjoys involving his family in all his outdoor adventures including the guide business. His wife Jaime plays an integral part in the bookkeeping and food preparation for Epic Adventures. His daughters love the scouting trips and even help in getting camp set up. His dream has always been to share his love of the Maine woods with others.
