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

Maine Outdoor Enthusiast ·

2024/09/09

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

2024/08/30

This week we sit down with Keith Bernier (AKA Father-in-law)- Avid stand hunter and long distance shooter- and discuss the varying methods to hunting deer in northern Maine.

Learning To Deer Hunt In The Age of Information...

Maine Outdoor Enthusiast ·

2024/08/12

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

Deer Camps of The Past | Maine Outdoor Enthusiast...

2024/08/05

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

Successful Deer Hunters Never Give Up | Maine Outdoor...

Maine Outdoor Enthusiast ·

2024/07/18

I recently spent a good deal of time digitizing a lot of our old hunting photos and while I was doing that (and cross referencing with corresponding journal entries) I noticed a common theme. Most successful hunts involved committed determination and the unwillingness to give up. Regardless of the modality that was used to harvest the deer, the greatest influence on success (in my opinion) is to never give up. So this week, we decided to sit down and discuss some past hunts and why never giving up

When Right Is Wrong And Wrong Is Right | Maine...

Maine Outdoor Enthusiast ·

2024/06/24

When right is wrong and wrong is right…tends to be the way of the world these days. When it comes to fishing and hunting, much of the same can be observed. As we gain experience via the methods we choose to pursue our query, it can be easy to start thinking our way of doing things is the “right” way. While yes, there are definitely absolute rights in this world, the methods by which we choose to hunt or fish are not confined to such “laws” as long as they are both ethical and legal. When someone

2024/06/17

The results are in! congratulations to all the winners of the Maine 2024 moose lottery! A lot to discuss in this episode. We have just returned from a wonderful fly fishing trip fishing the remote ponds of northern Maine. We saw tons of wildlife, plentiful deer sign and the fishing was good to boot. Sit back, relax and enjoy Father’s Day with a little MOE podcast. Oh, and listen closely…someone may have been drawn for a Maine moose permit 🫎🤷‍♂️😁. Enjoy and happy Father’s Day to all you

Predicting Good Hunting & Fishing // Maine Outdoor...

Maine Outdoor Enthusiast ·

2024/05/22

This week we sit down and discuss some recent fishing trips and some of the factors that influence success both on the water and in the deer woods. Have you ever heard of the solunar theory? Or how about those calendars that indicate the “good days” to be out fishing are hunting. Yes, most of us have seen them. However, I’ve personally never given much thought to charts that “predict” good hunting and fishing. I feel any day I have a chance to get out hunting or fishing is a good time to go😁. So,

FoMO (fear of missing out) And The Search To Belong |...

Maine Outdoor Enthusiast ·

2024/05/07

This week we piggyback off of our last episode in regard to the growing effects of FoMO (fear of missing out), how it has been amplified by social media and its effects on the outdoorsman. FoMO has always been a thing (we just didn’t have a term for it years ago) and while a little bit of FoMO might be a good motivator for some; too much can have negative effects on our health. As the saying goes, a little bit goes a long way😉. Enjoy! #outdoors #fearofmissingout #maineoutdoors Contact:

2024/04/06

In this episode, we finally get my wife, Lacey, to join us. We discuss a wife's perspective on hunting and the interplay between spouses. Hunting season can be strenuous on our "other half". But with good communication and a little give and take, deer season can be successful both in the deer woods and at home.

A Great Winter For The Deer, Not For The Sportsman |...

Maine Outdoor Enthusiast ·

2024/02/20

The mild winter continues. This is great for the deer herd, but not so great for the winter sports enthusiast. Little snow and poor ice conditions are frustrating a lot of those who enjoy the outdoors. In this episode, we discuss northern Maine's ice conditions, how the ice fishing has been and then we delve into Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD). Of interest to us, we compare and contrast CWD to some common human diseases which helps characterize exactly what CWD is. Enjoy! Dawn of American Deer

The Key To An Abundant Deer Herd Is...? | Maine...

Maine Outdoor Enthusiast ·

2024/01/30

This week we discuss our recent trip to the Long Lake Ice Fishing Derby and our thoughts on a deer management issue in northern Wisconsin. Years ago, northern Maine was confronted with a decimated deer herd due to a multitude of factors. Wisconsin appears to have a very similar situation to Maine's with Wisconsin IFW responding in much of the same way Maine did. The question is...will it work? Will Wisconsin correct the course or are their hands tied with limited effective solutions at their

Maine Outdoor Enthusiast ·

2024/01/15

Feeding deer in northern Maine is becoming common place. Winters are long and hard, coupled with predation and loss of wintering habitat...sometimes the herd needs all the help they can get. However, if supplemental feeding is done incorrectly, it can actually cause more harm than good. Follow along as we discuss when, where, why and how you should go about feeding deer in the winter and why sometimes not feeding them at all may be the better option.
