You gotta come down. We can hike a couple spots and or hit the islands where jack pine and larch by the acreful. Wind beat and wave smashed.
@Stillwater has the hotspots near Baxter st park and Mt Kahtahdin. Make a camping/hotel trip this spring. Might try to organize an event at stillwater
We have access to just under 300,000 acres of land in New Hampshire for Yamadori. Ranging from Laconia and Belmont norther NH by Berlin, Dummer & Milan. The best yamadori location we have found in the state of NH was up near Dixville Notch. We have only scouted about 15,000 of the 300k+ acres we have permission to, but there are lots of great spots. we have never came back empty handed.
With access to so much acreage in Maine, we only go to NH maybe once or twice in the spring to hunt, we usually spend a few weeks in fall scouting new area, but don't collect in the fall. We do offer guided hunts as a service in Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, and upstate NewYork. They range from $100 up to $2,500 for the day depending on location and means of access. i.e. if we have to rent a helicopter to get into the collection area, or a plane to get to the island the cost is pretty high, If we can take the boats to get in, the cost is cheaper than if we need air travel but higher than if we can just drive in and hike and so on and so on. Either way, we've never done a guided hunt where someone left empty handed.
@Brewing and Bonsai if you want to do a guided hunt on permitted land in the spring just let us know and we can get it scheduled for when you are in NH. Most places in NH would run between $100 & $250 for the day and cover the permits for the trees you would collect. You could always just go knock on peoples doors and ask to scout the land behind their houses and go for free, but we have written permission from land owners and forest management companies for the best areas as well as all the required permits for taking collected material across county/state lines.
