MH that sure does look like an area that would qualify as a thick, close cover place regardless where in the country it is located. Just looking at those steep ridges makes my legs feel sore.

Certainly hunting in the NE qualifies as an area where under 150 yard shots are the rule rather than the exception. A rifle that would be ideal in the more open confines of the West would be less than ideal in the tighter quarters of the NE. For over 100 years the favorite of the North Woods was...

Tom, best wishes for a complete recovery. The sun is certainly not your friend. It pays to cover up as much as possible. I also was diagnosed with melanoma on my back several years ago. Thankfully it was stage 0. Then about 6 months later I had something else removed from my chest which would...

I guess it all depends where and how you hunt. I don't have the temperament to stand hunt so I either track or still hunt. I naturally dress a lot lighter doing this than I would if I were hunting from a stand. An old (I guess he was as old as I am now) Maine Guide gave me a few tips on staying...

I too still hunt in northern Maine, and you and most of us hunt alike. The new cutting practices are growing in the old clear cuts to mixed growth, which is good overall I think.

You might be surprised to hear I hunt exactly the same way in Colorado, except i've never used a stand. Still hunting the thick timber since the late 40's for bear, elk, and mule deer. We have more than wide open country here. Pete Hi Pete, Sounds like this style of hunting would be exciting...

If you only have 2-3 seconds to get the job done “right” you shouldn’t be taking a shot like that. My opinion anyway i guess it all depends where you are hunting. This may be true in the wide open spaces of the West but in the comparatively thick forests of the East - not so much. Two or three...
