Tag I’m It
December 17, 2007
It seems that a Meme is floating around the blogs asking those tagged to share a little bit about themselves outside of their work and has to be more then just your hunting. Rick over at Tails & Trails tagged me so I’ll try to live up to the challenge but one thing that does bug me a bit is that for many of us our blogs are a sideline and not necessarily a reflection of the profession we do day in and day out. (Be interesting to know what people do for a living) Myself I work in the area of Mental Health and my hunting and my blogging is a release for me after a stressful day at the office.
Well let me see I grew up in New England and did not take up hunting until I was an adult. I have successfully been drawn twice and killed both times a moose in the Maine lottery system. Those by far are my most exciting hunts followed closely by killing a black bear at 3 paces on the ground with a muzzleloader.
Next to hunting my next big hobby is photography and mostly wildlife at that. I’m constantly working on improving my techniques to get that perfect shot. I post a daily photo on my other blog Moose’s Wild America.
I’m a die hard hockey fan growing up in Boston during the Bobby Ore era and watching lots of games with my Dad. Moving to the south 13 years ago I knew my hockey fix was going to be hard to get in the middle of NASCAR & College Basketball but three years after I moved here a NHL team came to town. Although I’m still a Bruins Fan I’m also a Canniac (Hurricanes fan) and attend many of the games.
Well that’s a little about me and now I get the chance to pass the challenge on. So my three choices are; The Sled Chix although I’m not much of a sledder I lived for a number of years on the edge of a trail and heard them racing by and I enjoy the snow photos she posts, another great blog comes from North of the Border Muskoka is one that I’ve been reading for a while and Bill does a great job, and finally my good friend and hunting partner Billy writes about waterfowling and dog training on Blind Ambitions.
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.

I knew photography was something you loved. Moose’s Wild America always has such great photos, as does this blog.
I always envy people who can take good pictures. It is a skill I’ve never learned.
A hockey fan? A Bobby Orr fan/Caniac no less! I had no idea.
I was a huge Bobby Orr fan growing up. I went to his hockey camp twice and got to skate with him.
Send me your email address and I’ll put it on the list of people I offer my season tickets to when I’m going to be out of town. It’s usually a “first one that responds gets to go for free” thing, although lately we’ve been offering them for sale and donating the money to Operation Sauce Drop.
