It was a quite a journey over the spring and summer training with Quill. That first official retrieve coming on Sept 24th and the last retrieve of the season coming on Jan 7th. She grew and learned throughout the season and has become a wonderful part of the family and such a personality in...

This past Monday was our northern opener here in Maine, so off we went on the Friday before up to camp in Rangeley. The foliage is starting to turn and the fall fishing season is still in full swing. We trolled in my old 58 Lone Star and found a few salmon that were willing to play. The...

It's hard to believe that Quill is already 6 months old. Since our return trip home from VA in March it has been puppy play and training. She is progressing nicely and I don't have any doubt that we'll be ready for that last weekend in Sept. Following are some snapshots in time from the past...

Good morning everyone, Some may already know because of social media, others may not. After Pearl's passing last November, I wasn't really looking for another pup quite this soon, but everything lined up and here she is..."Traditions Eider Biter of Old Town" call name Quill. I arrived...

I was down on Chincoteague Island this past Friday and couldn't help but notice all the permanent blinds out on the marsh (as you cross over from the mainland) and the apparent close proximity they are to each other. Having never hunted down there, or anywhere for that matter that has that...

I have a like new Remington 700 BDL 30-06 LH available. Comes with original box and Bushnell variable scope. Only 4 shots have been fired and that was to sight it in, many years ago. $1100 plus shipping to FFL

[font "Arial"]You will be missed sweetheart![/font] Pearl was diagnosed with a large tumor on her liver last week. The prognosis was not good so we treated for what we could and kept her as close to the Pearl of old as we could. She passed peacefully with us at home. [font "Segoe UI...

Here are some pictures of what's coming. My good friend and carver Jon Ketchum is building us a six decoy rig for the upcoming season. Tip to tip the birds will be 32" +/- . Jon did a prototype this past summer of foam, which I hunted with each trip. These new six will be from cork. David...

Serial #100**** Nice old sxs shotgun. No dents in barrels, no cracks in wood. Nice little upland gun. Possible trade for browning or 16ga sxs. Shipping available at cost. $825 I hunt this gun each season, I have never had the chambers measured but have only shot 2-1/2" RST through...

With only 3 hunts left, the eiders in the areas that I hunt have sure been sparse in comparison to past years. There is one pocket of birds in a well known area that are seasoned birds and actually fun to watch them as they skirt and avoid the duck boats, yet they let the lobster fisherman...

Or should I say rafter hanger. I surmise many here would have done a recovering with this boat frame but I didn't have the time nor desire and when hunting alone I simply grab my Poke Boat. But here we are...I acquired this frame, along with a Witham Scull Boat, years ago, at least 10 or more...

Here we are again...looking back over yet another season. For the most part, days and weather were good. There were some challenging days with high winds, big seas and colder than normal temps but that comes with the territory. Pearl will be 10 next month in February, it doesn't seem...

Getting a little work done inside in Rangeley. Stairs, cabinets, countertop and walls. The walls have two coats of water based poly on them. The floor is oil based and I decided to go with a hunter green trim for contrast. The stairs coming up from the basement. All pine risers and...

Spent the last couple days chasing grouse, ducks and working on the camp. Slow grouse hunting, one bird in a bout 12-15 hours afield. The ducks cooperated much better. Shot our 2 mallard limits very quick and added a nice GW teal to the bag too. Had I been a little quicker, I might have...

I'm always looking for older cork decoys that are just waiting for another opportunity to fool some more fowl. I came across these Maine carved corkers with pine heads a couple weeks ago and finally got them home today. The gentleman carved these for his personal use and is now getting out of...

I'm not sure how many members here have property that needs ground maintenance on occasion, but I am one of those people. I have been looking at DR. Mowers and bush hogs of sort for years. The DR Mower attracted me because of it's multi-purpose features of a snow blower head and brush hog head...

One of my goals (dreams) has always been to go on a Merriam's hunt and last week that dream became a reality. A 32 hour drive from Maine to NE with a brief pit stop in Illinois to have breakfast with my daughter. The struggle was real to drive that far, but we made it.... For a life-long...

2020 certainly gave all of us different challenges throughout the year, but it was still a great time afield with family, friends and clients. I hope you enjoy. my first year digging clams. Terrie, with Jack and Izzy up in Rangeley. I couldn't help it, at one of the local...

Once in a while a picture catches your eye, well this one caught mine. Pearl, with a brace of grouse and my old Browning A5 20 gauge. Rangeley was not all work today, a couple for the bean pot tomorrow.
