Amber Gut Got a Bear
Â
Â
Congratulations to Amber for killing a very fine and rather unique bear for Maine. The color of this bear is unusual for Maine bears I do believe. It would appear that she took this 175 lb bear with a muzzleloader.
Â
While we were up on our hunt Amber gutted and skinned bears at the camp for R&S Guide Service. It’s great to see she got a bear too but I suspect she gut it as well. Job well done now go kill some geese.

Moose Droppings is a place that chronicles my journey, I’ll explore new places and ideas I’ll learn new things and I’ll teach the things I’ve learned to others. Join me on the adventure and hopefully it will help you in your outdoor endeavors.
Congrats to Amber on a great first bear!! Bet Amy is gonna get one soon now.
[...] I’m a big supporter of introducing youth to hunting ( Amber , Jordan, & Youth Pheasant Hunt ) and I try to take every opportunity to pass on the tradition. I encourage others to do the same and I’m glad to see writers and newspapers encouraging the same. I enjoyed reading Ken Bailey’s article from the Village Soup out of Maine. It’s great to see that family traditions are still being carried on although some traditions need not be passed on; Yet, for every 100 good stories of parents and children sharing a valuable outdoor experience, there are still those incidents that make real hunters cringe. One took place in Knox County on youth hunting day. This incident, reported to officials, involved a truck with an adult and a junior hunter inside. The driver of the vehicle drove down a private road that had visible “No Hunting” signs on both sides of the road. A deer was spotted in a field that was also ringed with “No Hunting” signs. The truck stopped, the youngster stuck his rifle out the window and shot at the deer. When confronted by the irate landowner, the adult said he didn’t see any “No Hunting” signs, and besides, this was Youth Deer Hunting Day and he was “teaching the kid how to hunt.” My response would be, “No, you’re teaching your son how to break the law.” [...]
