Gene Letourneau (Frye Mountain) Wildlife Management Area is a 5241-acre (2120.96 ha) Maine Wildlife Management Area (WMA) operated and managed by the Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife (IFW) located in the towns of Montville, Knox and part of Morrill in Waldo County, ME about 12 miles west of Belfast. Frye Mountain is a managed forested area with second-growth spruce and white pine. There are many reverting farm fields and old apple orchards coupled with many oaks with their acorns that complete the mixed habitat. “The variety offers a very nice opportunity, really quite a pleasant landscape for deer hunting,” says regional wildlife biologist Jim Connolly of the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife. That helps explain why Frye Mountain is a popular destination for Maine hunters.
