"They Call me Deadly Imposter"

It took me a lot of years to come to the simple conclusion that when I hunt or fish I become a play actor. randy.jpg (605495 bytes)
The woods, lakes and streams are my stage and I portray a variety of characters, and if fish and wildlife could talk, they surely would call me a "deadly imposter."

 

 

 



"WE’RE GONNA NEED A BIGGER HOLE FOR THIS ONE!"

pike.jpg (46535 bytes)
  Northern pike were illegally introduced into Central Maine’s trout and salmon waters two decades ago. The region now offers World Class pike fishing. Complaints by summer anglers that 2-pound plus salmon were being eaten by these toothy giants as anglers as they were being reeled in prompted fisheries managers to open Long Lake in the Belgrade Lakes Region for ice angling. Giants in the 15-30 pound range were common last season. Could this lake yield a new Maine record this season.

(Local anglers hold a pair of  Long Lake pike.)


 

BECOMING AN "OUTDOOR MENTOR" shoot.jpg (63597 bytes)

Each year, just after the Christmas holiday, I wonder which, if any of the gifts we received will endure the test of time. What was under that tree this year that might be cherished for years to come? Is there anything that might be passed down to the next generation or will most of those gifts just add to the proliferation of yard sale goods.



"SHED ANTLER HUNTING IS GREAT LATE WINTER ACTIVITY"

daveganter.jpg (70789 bytes) Have you ever wondered how many bucks slipped by you during a hunting season? Was there a 200-pounder just out of sight all season? How about that one you caught a glimpse of on opening day. Is another hunter munching on his hindquarters this winter? The lack of snow this winter set up a unique opportunity for those of us who tread slowly through the deer wintering areas in search of shed antlers.
