Are there any bear hunters out there?  Time is quickly approaching for those of us here in Maine to start putting out our bait sites.  I am excited with my new area and it certainly should bring some good action for myself and a few others who will be utilizing my camp and stands.  The work is certainly about to begin.  It’s quite a chore to manage the stands, keep the bait, get the bait and do all that is involved.  It will well be worth it to see some of the faces after their harvest though.  If things work out I have a kid from North Carolina coming up with his dad who is handicapped.  This kid is an amazing kid and I will share some stories about what this kid has done for handicapped hunters like his dad in another post.

Good luck in your upcoming season and keep us all posted.

Well, I know that up here in Maine we certainly have it milder then the majority of other places across this country.  I probably have no right to complain, but I’m going to.  It sure is the dog days of summer.  When you sit here and sweat like your porting a canoe a mile it’s just plain miserable.  I hate to push summer on for those who love the heat and enjoy boating, swimming or whatever other summertime event you participate in.   Although, I am longing for that cold morning sitting in a tree stand.  That time is quickly approaching us.  We have the drawing of the antlerless deer permit coming up on us quickly.  Of course there are  alot less tags out there this year(which is something that I will go into and state my opinion on tomorrow).  I have been in the woods doing some scouting and am currently looking for a couple new tree stands as one of the spots I frequently hunt had a major cutting done in it this past winter/spring.  Well, I hope you are all staying cool and for those who hate the heat as much as I do….think about that opening morning sitting in your deer stand with teeth chattering.

Well after quite some time I am back.  This time to stay.  Due to career changes and different things going on, I needed to step back and get things in order.  That has all been accomplished and I am back with new ideas, plans and look forward to reconnecting with all of you and making new contacts. 

Bear with me as I get familiar with the new layout and take a day or so to get my feet underneath me.
