Maine Outdoor Enthusiast

Today, we sit down with men who lived the Maine woods in a different era...a time when the woods were remote, gear was simple, and skill mattered more than anything.We discuss their early trips to camp, the years they served during Vietnam, how the woods have changed, and the personal stories (both humorous and hard) that shaped who they became. This podcast is really about identity and a way of life that is quietly disappearing.They are lived experiences from a generation that learned the outdoors (trial by fire, if you will), through patience, hardship, and time.The Last True Woodsmen is less about the past…and more about what still remains.#TheLastTrueWoodsmen #MaineOutdoors #OutdoorHeritage #NorthWoods #deercamp Check us out on the web at:https://www.maineoutdoorenthusiast.comContact:[email protected]

Several outdoor law changes are being discussed in Augusta. Taken together, they raise a bigger question about the future of hunting and fishing in Maine.In this episode of Maine Outdoor Enthusiast, we take a look at some of the proposals currently on the table, including:• A potential extension of muzzleloader season in northern Maine• Ongoing debates around fly-fishing-only waters• A proposed constitutional amendment recognizing the right to hunt and fish• Why Maine remains one of the only states in the country without Sunday huntingMore importantly, we step back and talk about what these conversations really signal and how Maine balances access, conservation, tradition, and science, and why reactionary lawmaking in either direction can do more harm than good.This isn’t about fear or outrage. It’s about understanding the long game and making sure Maine’s outdoor heritage stays strong for the next generation.Enjoy!#MaineOutdoors #MaineHunting #MaineFishing #PublicLand #HuntingPolicy👇 Join the conversation in the comments:What do you think these proposals mean for Maine 10 years from now?Check us out on the web at:https://www.maineoutdoorenthusiast.comContact:[email protected]

For northern Maine, the 2025 deer season has come to an end...and what a year it has been! The deer harvest in Maine is well over 50,000 harvested in the state with still a week left to the season in some southern areas. Not to mention, my father-in-law got it done on the last day of his season during black powder week. The deer had an impressive body despite having a smaller rack than one would expect. No complaints this season! We saw lots of deer, had lots of action and filled the freezers. Well, I have one complaint...IT'S OVER!😢🤣.Enjoy!#mainedeerhunting #deerseason #itsover Check us out on the web at:https://www.maineoutdoorenthusiast.comContact:[email protected]
