Maine could be ending its controversial moose herd management strategy. The addition of an adaptive hunt in the North Maine Woods was an attempt to mitigate the tick population, but has had mixed reception from hunters and wildlife biologists.
Does technology blur the lines of ethical hunting? “The answers to your ethical questions may be rooted in why you hunt and how you view the animals you seek,” BDN Outdoors editor Julie Harris writes.
People are already ice fishing where it’s allowed. Early season freezing attracts a group of hardcore fishermen who venture out on even just an inch and a half of ice.
More Mainers are using dogs to guard their animals, but there’s a catch. Dogs do a combination of jobs no person, piece of equipment or other animal can, but keeping a dog is its own occupation. Another dog activity, canicross, is catching on in Maine.
