Don’t wait. Life is too short. Go now.

I’ll be moving there next month

@@josephmizell1817 are you there now? If so, how is everything going? I’m moving in August or September and I’m so excited!

And that's why Maine is so special, less humans and more wildlife. My hope and the only thing I want to accomplish in the rest of this life is to retire to Maine. 🤙🦅🐻🦆🐿️🦔🐮🦂❣️✌️

Was it the jay mill

The boys club, and we're not in it. Bribes, bully, threaten and intimidate to get what they want.... I wonder if Maine leaders got new yahts for their agreement in that transaction. I am one of many that got extorted by cmp, and funny how puc "found nothing wrong". Hmmmm. Bought out/sold out.

Damned Weyerhauser and other polluters do.

If you do the slightest amount of research you can find that map, STFU, thanks!

Why no foraging footage? Not everyone can be accommodated.

Not foraging, hunting!!!

@@cassidykk Yes, I read your comment. Again, not everyone can be accommodated (i.e. there was no foraging footage either). This video was made simply to examine the public lands of Maine. It's clear Hunting (shooting an animal on camera) may be a trigger to some, hence why it wasn't included. Your comment was pointless, and you don't need to be accommodated constantly, just be grateful for this footage they put together.

T Parker no, not pointless. Just not comprehended. And who said anything about shooting an animal on film. If you shoot something every time you went hunting, it would be called shooting, not hunting. More land in this state, and this country is conserved due to the biggest conservationist force there is. The hunter!

imagine how LLBean feels with Cabelas getting those nice cameos? Producer should have been on that. beautiful footage though. a little drone heavy but everyone’s excited about their new toys.

I know this is a year later, but maybe I can shed some light. First of all, that Maine resident hunter probably was not lying to you. To see deer during hunting season in Maine, specifically in the northern regions, you must put in your time and miles on foot. Deer densities are extremely low and visibility in the thick woods is often limited to 30 yards or less. I spent several years adapting to different hunting methods because it’s a different hunting world up here. Sitting in a tree stand is not as productive as it is in the Midwestern states (I’ve lived and hunted both regions). Also, while we do have moose and bear, don’t expect to see them from the road. In my experience, apart from much time spent in the woods, moose sightings are infrequent and bear sightings are rare. In fact, I’ve lived in Maine for 7 years and have yet to see a bear in the state. I do have some trail camera photos of them, but they are elusive animals. As far as feeding the deer goes, it is illegal to bait them during hunting season because it limits the “fair chase” aspect of the hunt. I know there are different views on this, but that’s my preference and what the legislation says so…. Despite hunting being difficult in this state, it is one of the most rewarding places to hunt, and I’ve hunted deer and elk from the northeast to the Midwest to the Rockies.

@@baraksinz2937 thanks for your experience on the subject ,,yes during deer season it is much harder to see deer anywhere,,,and I will tell you that if you ever bait deer , you will find it is much harder to see a mature buck at the bait than it would be if you did not bait in daylight that is , but at night they will come right to it. It has been legal here in North Carolina to bait deer for fifty years. And yes it is much more fun when you don’t hunt there and just sit on the edge of a corn field , or an apple orchard,,half of the county I live in is apple orchard,,,and they are sold all over the world from here.

the forests are designed to burn by nature, it's logging land and re-planting that's the problem. In nature they'd all be at different stages, but because they were planted all the trees are in the same space, overcrowded, and compete. this makes the fires larger, hotter, and less controlled. Naturally there would be some trees standing after a fire and new trees and underbrush would replace it, but not when they're all packed like matches.

for half the year....
