My winter is filled with meetings and legislative hearings for the Maine Professional Guides Association. Once in a while something notable comes up and the press is there. A couple of weeks ago a group of students from the Spruce Mountain School came to make their case to provide every junior hunter the chance to shoot an antlerless deer. They were very well spoken and presented their case calmly to the committee.
We got about a foot of fresh snow during the day yesterday. The forecast was for a few inches and that the snow would taper 
quickly as the storm pulled away.
The Mike Sabins Memorial Youth Fish & Game Association will hold a “Hooked on Fishing” ice fishing event sponsored by Inland Fisheries and Wildlife on Saturday, February 23rd on 
Seven Tree Pond at Ayer Park, Route #235 in Union from 10 am – 2 pm. Instruction, equipment, and refreshments will be provided. There is no fee to attend. Please plan to come and have some family fun in the Maine outdoors.
