hunting

The number of women hunters has gone up in the last 6 years by 25% since 2006. More and more women in the U.S. are spending time in the deer stand and tree blind. Many outdoor companies are stocking more and more women’s apparel and accessories to meet the demand.

Skeletal remains of a person were found Saturday morning by a deer hunter off a logging road near Puddledock Road, police said, they added that they are treating the site as a crime scene.

You've been waiting all year for this! This week, you've been cleaning your gun, finding your heat packets for your boots and hands, siting your rifle, heading to Hussey's to buy ammunition, dousing things with 'deer in heat' scents... You're a hunter. And proud of it!

As Chad would say: If it's brown, it's down! That's how Chad and many hunters are feeling today after they found out they are the recipients of the Any Deer Permit for the state of Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and WIldlife. Yes, of course, they want the unattainable 20 point buck but even if he doesn't walk out of the fog into plain sight this season, a nice fat doe will do the trick! Read

The ever-elusive buck is always never around but the does appear out of nowhere. And YOU don't have a permit because YOU forgot to sign up! Don't let this happen to you!

Chad is really excited! This Saturday is Youth Hunting Day for the state of Maine. This Saturday, he gets to take his son, Bradley, who is 10, hunting for wild turkey!

To many people, hunting is either black or white. It's either "Don't hurt the pretty little animals" or "KILL! KILL! KILL!" I'm more in the grey area. There aren't many of us, but we do exist. When Chad decided to start rabbit hunting again, I was torn.

Snakes… creatures most people like to avoid. Florida is being over-run by snakes and is holding a month long snake hunt. Burmese pythons are ravaging the Everglades, eating everything in sight. So, there will be a month long hunt.

The firearms deer hunting season ended with a bang this weekend in Peru, Maine. Three generations of women from the same Maine family bagged a deer while hunting this past Friday. Twelve-year-old Katelyn Carlow of Peru got her first deer with a 125-pound doe. Katelyn's mom, Julie, got a 130-pound doe and Katelyn's grandmother, Brenda Gammon, got a six-point buck.

There are plenty of deer around this season. So many, in fact, I've almost hit 6 in the middle of the night. We have seen so many does that I think Chad was convinced there were no bucks left in the world....until we saw THESE!

Okay, guys and gals...time to weigh in on where you found your trophy! There are plenty of places in the state of Maine that people flock to, like Aroostook County, but there have to be places below the county where you have bagged you buck!

Hunting for Maine residents starts this Saturday. Many of my friends can't wait to get out there and find their trophy buck. Just a few days ago, we were coming home from a gig and just before we got to the driveway, we saw eyes. 4 pairs! 4 big does were across from our house. Chad said "Wait, watch this!" He backed up the car and shone the car lights into the field. Another set of 4 eye

Maine sea duck hunting season is underway, usually starting October 1st and running through mid-January with seven ducks per day limits. About 10,000 duck hunters buy the state bird permit but the number of duck hunters has dropped dramatically over the past 40 years. In 1970 the number of duck huntesr was three times higher than it is now. An aging hunting population along with failure to recruit

Since 1991 there has been a decline in people heading outdoors hunting and fishing all across the country. The recession had a major impact in the decline but old-fashioned pastimes had been giving way to other activities such as kid’s sports teams and computer games. For the past three years there has be an increase in licenses for hunting and fishing and this year is the best in a while. It seem
