Some pics from Maine

[Dredly]

Every year we go up to Maine (outside Rangely) where my cousin has a camp... we have yet to get a deer but that doesn't really matter at all :P

here is what is great :P



6+ foot high rubs :P



Looks like someone likes this area?



Was that a deer? no? damn... back to sleep









Canadian Jay about to eat out of my hand... it liked pop tarts :P

So do you rifle hunt?

How long have you been doing this trip?

Are you guys holding out for a monster or is the hunting just slow?

think I've gone 3 or 4 times now, most of the guys (uncles / cousins) have been up there for a good 10+ years...

Rifle hunt only. these were from last year

The problem is the number of deer are fairly low... and there are literally hundreds of thousands of acres, if not millions that the deer have open access to... so its difficult to find them and even more difficult to get a shot on them

here are some more from 2007



Ready for Wa... err... hunting :P










Some cool pics of some of the logging equipment they use... the tires on this skidder are over 6' tall





De-limber



the yard... this is after 3 days of logging... and this is only about 1/2 of what they took... the trucks were running non-stop to get the wood out

Very nice pictures. Great collection of rifles.

Maine is tough for deer, they have 5 percent of what we do and when you see a buck it is normally a big one. I hunted in Patton Maine a few times for deer, bear and moose. Only ever shot a bear, saw lots of moose out of season while hunting bear, a handfull of deer while hunting moose. Pretty country.

Thanks for the pics.

Nice pics, looks like a great place for some peace and quiet.

Except for the 6' high rubs, it doesn't look that different than a lot of the Poconos. We've got lots of areas like that around here. Not quite as much solitude as Maine however.

Nice pics.

BTW. Any luck on Monday? I didn't see anything (hence, no phone call.)
