Pretty much anywhere but the coast. Central Maine has a ton of deer, some of them get pretty big. Northern Maine has all the deer and fewer hunters competing. Western Maine has great deer, but the terrain is much harder sometimes, but that also cuts down on other hunters in the area. You could probably almost go with whatever is cheap and look around for sign on and around it before you buy it and not go wrong.

Why not the coast? I drive to Popham beach yesterday and saw half a dozen beautiful deer on the way. Heard lots of gunshots too so people are definitely hunting there.

First couple days of the season always have lots of folks shooting, as for how many deer that equals, well... That and I figured property on the coast costs to much to rate the amount of deer you going to have access to. Southern and central Maine (think York and North) is where the most deer get tagged. Western and Northern Maine still have some cheap 20 acre wood lots you can buy up from time to time.
