So I just got back a few days ago from the annual hunting trip I do every year back home in the Northern Maine woods. And at this time of year there’s no other place I’d rather be.

We went to our hunting camp this year which is not too far from town (in good ol’ T2 R7 to be exact) and stayed for 3 nights. The weather was unseasonably warm, the 2 days since I’ve been home have been even warmer! Thursday was a beautiful day but no birds to be seen until late and we missed the ones we did see. Friday was overcast and got hazy toward the end of the day, raining pretty hard that night. We saw 8 birds and I shot 3. We saw a lot of game Friday, 3 deer, 2 moose, some rabbits, and the partridge of course. This was all just driving around the familiar area surrounding camp, along the Huber road and Sherman lumber company Road around Staceyville, Soldiertown, and Grindstone. Saturday, Clay and I went to the Scraggly Lake Preserve out past Patton in Aroostook County about an hour and a half north by highway. And even though it was an awesome sunny day and we were happy to see so much untouched, uncut land, we didn’t see any wildlife at all. It was Junior day and there was quite a bit of traffic. (more…)
