The warm winter had started to feel a little unnatural. Our daytime temperatures were in the forties during the day and rarely going below twenty at night. While easy on the firewood supply it simply did not feel like winter in Maine. All of that has changed at least for the time being. We had snow on Thursday; not a lot but six or so inches followed by freezing rain on Friday that made travelling to Portland with Argy an adventure.
As a long time grouse hunting guide I have frequently been frustrated by the fact that the birds are hard to find on a warm sunny afternoon. I have looked in all kinds of cover and often wondered if they spend the afternoon in the trees watching the dogs and I search for them.
As we begin a new year our thoughts turn to what will be new or different. There are some significant changes that have already taken place at Maine Outdoors. All designed to help you creat better memories.
New web site
If you are reading this it is on the new www.maineoutdoors web site. An upgrade with a new look, cleaner easier to navigate and much simpler on the back end on a new more reliable server. Of course you can still expect blog posts twice a week, more photos and more video as the season gets underway.
