    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...
  2. Everywhere Else
    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...

    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...
  6. 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...

    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...

    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...

    New Hampshire hunters killed more bucks - adult male deer with antlers - last season than in any other hunting season on record, an indication that the state's deer population is growing, partly because winters are getting easier for them. "In many parts of the states, the population is higher...

    Writing this back in Boston a few days later, all I'm left with are the smells. To celebrate and honor my deer, I gathered my friends for a mess of liver pâté, spicy meatballs, Polish stew, and seared tenderloin with blueberry sauce. As the shoulder meat relaxed into its bath of wine and butter...

  14. Deer Hunting
    Hi -- new to the site in the past few weeks, and figured I'd bang off an introduction. I grew up in PEI on a dairy farm, moved over to NS and worked at the family stables. We grew up with the usual farm chores; I took care of the calves, my brother the chickens and turkeys. We each had our own...
