A Taste Of Home Northwoods Sporting Journal in My Mail Box

March 18, 2008

As a benefit of blogging I’ve been given a subscription to the Northwoods Sporting Journal a New England outdoor magazine. Having grown up in New England I have a lot of ties with the area and like to keep up with what is going on up there. I even on occasion chase moose or bear across the northern woods and I do enjoy the tug of a brook trout on the line.

I’m excited about the coming year and the news and stories that will come in monthly. Just a quick glance of the current magazine there is local stories like places to go clamming in NH, ice fishing reports and stories that reach to a much larger audience and not necessarily just New England folks. There is a great story on how to read a compass, using blinds to turkey hunt and one very funny story about the trouble a Maine Warden got into on the side of a road.
It seems that a trucker hit a doe with fawns killing the doe and the fawns ran off. After much searching the warden and the trucker could not find the fawns so they pulled the doe away from the road in hopes the fawns would return to the doe. The warden planned to increase patrols in that area to see if he could catch the young fawns. Latter that day he was passing by when he saw a car pulled off the road and two ladies running into the bushes. Knowing that they must have spotted the fawns he swung around and tried to catch up with them before they scared the fawns away. Well he ran into the bushes calling to them and found them answering natures call and they were not to happy. His telling of the story is much better and much funnier then my readers digest version.

Why I have never subscribed to Northwoods before I have to say it’s because I never remember. I buy Northwoods almost every time I visit the state so now I have no excuse. If you enjoy a quality outdoor magazine you should check them out and who knows maybe you’ll hear the call of the North Woods to come hunt a bear, a moose, or maybe even a trophy buck of a lifetime.
