  1. Deer Hunting
    Hey guys, I am going to be moving to Cape Breton in a couple months from Newfoundland and was wondering if anyone had any tips on getting into deer hunting. I'm a newer hunter, done lots of small game hunting and been on a moose hunt and bear hunt but have never hunted off the island so...
  2. Bow Hunting
    Hello all, This will be my first season bow hunting for deer and wanted to get pointers from the group on what they look for when choosing a spot, if tree stands are recommended over ground blinds, and any other general advice. There is an overwhelming amount of info out there and wanted to...
  3. Waterfowl Hunting
    Hello folks. I got my hunting licence recently, being excited with upcoming season and hope to try some hunting. As a start, I hope to try on geese, pheasants and bunnies, maybe later on deer. The problem is: I don't know where to go to start. If anyone can give some advice, it will be...

    Through Monday, hunters had harvested 37,269 deer since youth day on Oct. 23. That represents the largest take in Maine since 38,153 deer were taken in 2002. Maine already surpassed the 2020 harvest of 33,157, which was the highest in 18 years. An abundance of deer and lots of hunters in the...
  6. Gone Hunting
    Hi there, I am looking to get hold of some wild meat for game pies and the freezer this fall. We are moving to NS from PEI next month and I wanted to check if this is legal? If so how can I obtain it? We moved to Canada from England five years ago and my grandfather always hunted game birds...
  7. Portable Deer stand

    I confess that I used to dread hunting season because it seemed unsafe to walk in the woods. The first thing I did when we bought our house 35 years ago was post "No Hunting" signs. But with each November I became increasingly uncomfortable judging and being wary of my hunter neighbors. Those I...

    Pat and I were surveilling a field for night hunting activity when he got a radio call from the state police barracks in Orono. This was before game wardens were issued or had access to any sort of cellphones. The brief message was clear enough: Proceed to Bangor International Airport as there...

    Nathan Bieber, the DIF&W's deer biologist, said that after a mild winter that favored deer survival, and several years of the state's hunters not removing enough does from the landscape, the decision was made to propose the increases. Although any-deer permit numbers are set at the Wildlife...

    In the video, one of the young men was seen kicking the injured deer in the face, while the other stood on one of its hind legs, presumably to keep it from attempting to kick or flee. The two teenagers, who laughed while abusing the deer, then attempted to grab the deer's horns before the...

    The large-scale incinerator will be available to processors and hunters to dispose of deer from the CWD-positive and high-risk counties of southwest Tennessee. The incinerator will get above 1,800 degrees Fahrenheit, the temperature necessary to kill the disease...
  13. Everywhere Else
    When a client called off his Saturday morning hunt with Wayne Bernier of Allagash Adventures Guide Service due to cold weather, Bernier, 51, decided to make the most of the last day of rifle season and head out in search of a buck of his own. And boy did he find one...
  14. Coyote Hunting
    An apple a day might keep the doctor away but definitely not a coyote. Malcolm MacNeil was surprised when his trail camera captured images of seven coyotes sniffing in the woods behind his home in Glencoe Mills, Inverness County. And he wasn't too thrilled about how many of his apples they ate...

    A 104-year-old woman in Wisconsin had a bit of that beginner's luck this season when she bagged a buck during her first hunt. The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources on Tuesday said Florence Teeters is the oldest person in the state to purchase a gun license and harvest a deer. Teeters was...
  16. Everywhere Else
    You might follow a deer all day and not get an opportunity for a good shot, or a deer might spook the minute you get up from your stand. That's hunting. It ends this way more often than not. A North Maine Woods deer hunt is not easy, but if you like a vast area to hunt with few other hunters and...

    Nickels, 51, serves as the caretaker on Lasell Island, which is due east of Camden. And during frequent deer hunting adventures, he has been constantly outwitted by the eight-point buck. "That specific deer has given me the slip for the last four years. He's really smart. But he happened to make...

    Maine eliminated its minimum age for hunting - 10 years old - back in 2016. Since then, parents have been allowed to decide when they think their children are ready to head afield. Bill Brosseau says his son, Max, is a bit different from most of his peers. Specifically, Max absolutely loves...
  19. Deer Hunting
    I just wanted to reach out to see how folks were making out with their hunting in these two zones. I've been hunting down here with the same group of guys (4 of us) for going on our 3rd year, and we have yet to find success. We have seen a doe, and bear, and have been eating tag soup for the...
