2025/02/04

What does it take to become a better deer hunter in Maine? Or how about life in general? People don't become better by accident. In this episode, we break down how intentionality—through humility, patience, consistency and preparation—leads to growth both in the woods and in life. From simply being curious to learn or how well we manage bad experiences- these play a vital roll in how we grow and become better everyday. Join us as we embrace getting comfortable with the uncomfortable and

"To Call, Or NOT To Call: That Is The Question?" |...

Maine Outdoor Enthusiast ·

2025/01/20

This week, we sit down and discuss a few stories, share some recent happenings and our views on calling bucks while tracking deer. 20-30 years ago, not many deer trackers used calls all that often. However, in recent years, calling while tracking has become more common. In fact, nowadays I'd think it's safe to say, most...if not every deer hunter in the northeast carries a call. So, we share our thoughts on calling while deer hunting in the big woods and if it really makes much difference

2025/01/06

With the holiday season over and deer season but a recent memory, winter is a time of reflection for a deer hunter. It may start with a review of the season but for me, it always turns down this path of various life lessons, experiences and what I have for near-term goals.Join us as we discuss some of everyday life lessons that always seem to be applicable to the deer hunter. From having an "attitude of gratitude" to handling the ups and downs of life...one thing is for certain...a deer hunter

While hunting is often viewed as a tradition or a sport, for seasoned hunters, the act of harvesting a deer is never taken lightly. Join us as we uncover the deeper reasons why we feel a sense of regret, respect, or even sadness after making a successful harvest. From the connection to nature, to the responsibility of wildlife conservation, we

2024/11/22

What started out as a slow season (as far as deer sightings), things turned on a dime. You never know when your big buck will be right in front of you. Mark capitalized on the first buck he saw of the season and it was a dandy. We definitely had an eventful end to our second week of Maine’s deer season. With rifle season half over, we are now consistently seeing bucks and are optimistic about what the second half of the season holds. Enjoy!#deerhunting #bigbucks #buckdown Contact:

2024/10/24

Fall is a period of transition. Trees are shedding their leaves, birds are flying south and many other living things are preparing for a period of dormancy in which they prepare for new growth in the spring. For people, fall can be a period of new beginnings, with new goals and ventures in store for the future. For me, this fall is a season of change. I have decided to step back from my career for a few months, hit a hard reset, enjoy the deer season ahead with family and begin with a clean canvas

Are You Prepared For Deer Season? | Maine Outdoor...

What's your internal narrative? Is it positive? Encouraging?... I can do anything sort of self-talk? Or is it negative? Pessimistic? Do you feel defeated before you start...Like the cards are stacked against you? Your mindset in the deer woods (and life in general) can make or break your success. Our attitude and our approach to challenges directly influences the outcomes. Don't believe me, ask any elite person in their field. They may not be able to control a lot of variables, but they can

This week we discuss the plethora of information available to beginner deer hunters and how to tease through the tangle of "stuff" available on the internet. There is so much good information at our finger tips these days and I, as much as the next person, love to get lost in the hours of literature and videos presented. However, if you want to get better...you have to get out and do it! We all have characteristics...things that we excel at better than others. I think one of the key

After a 3 week hiatus (hey, we've been on vacation😁) we are back with some deer camp stories! Thanks to Derrick Cote, I've been reviewing old deer camp photos of their (Dad, Derrick, Dale, Dean, Kevin and Joe) trips into the Allagash from the late 80's and early 90's. Derrick also gave me his personal journal from those corresponding years. It has proved invaluable. So many great details that are easy to forget 30+ yrs later. We only cover the first few yrs in this episode (because
