If you are in town this week, do not forget the Hunter's Supper, sponsored by the JMRRCOC. Turkey dinner with all the fixins...I will be happy to serve you.

Deer season is coming to an end and so far, none of our guests got their buck but there is still

The last week of deer season ended this week and 2 of our guys got their buck.
Tommy is next to his and Mr. Jim is just posing with the other one

The first week of Deer season is coming to a close. Our Deer hunters left without success but it seems others in the region did pretty good according to Bishops Store. 9 Bucks this week Much better results compared to 2009.

We also had a trapper

We woke this morning to about an inch or more of snow on the ground and it is still snowing.
Our deer hunters are happy campers today! Season opens tomorrow.

On the last day of Moose season in Jackman, a regular of ours, Chad, stopped in to show us what he got. Nice job!

Moose season opened yesterday and 2 of our guests came home last night with their prize.



Jordon came in first but they put the bull

I checked out Bishops Store, where all the bucks are tagged, and looks like less tagged this year so far compared to last year but MUCH BIGGER BUCKS. Ray said 12 weighed in over 180#.
They are now in rut though so expect that more to come. Still have

Seems to be a slow deer hunting season this year around the region but Kevin was the first of our guests to get his buck.



Congrats

Our guests came back this morning with their Moose...weighed in at a bit over 600 pounds.



Also, just a note that 4 of the 5 guys in the group are from Maine, the one who shot the moose was from PA, just north of Pittsburgh. Lucky him.

Drove through town today and seems to be so much activity in town. Most are wearing orange so must be because of hunting season. But as I was driving by Bishops Store, I saw this Bull going up on the scale.

Most of our guests this year told us that this was the best bird season they have had for many years. One guy said that they saw 50 grouse in the 7 days they were here. Of course, they did not get that many, complaints that the "site

The moose lottery for Maine is today
Good luck to all of you trying for your moose permit for 2009

As promised, Tommy sent me the "shots" of the buck he got. VERY COOL

Well this is the end of the 3rd week of deer season and many of the hunters this week were discouraged. This week was incredibly cold, about 20 but a chill factor of about 1. The winds were brutal here on the lake but even worse up in the

With all the woods and wilderness that surrounds this town of Jackman, Maine, you would think that it would take a little time for the people in town to know you got a buck. Not so

Freddie got a buck last week. Before he even made it back

In my last entry about this years Partridge hunting, many hunters are either not seeing any, or seeing them but not getting. These guys got their limit today, some of them "on the fly"



This shot was taken after they started cleaning them so what they are holding

The firearm deer season has ended. Two of our guests got a buck this year and the others, although a little discouraged, all seem to have a great time anyhow. Many hunters who come to the area love just being in the great north woods, being with

Usually, when a guest gets their buck, they are ringing our bells, no matter how late, to tell us about it and to hang it PROUDLY on the pole. Last night, we went to bed thinking that another day went by and our hunters did not get their buck....

Unfortunately there has not been too much happening around here ( no deer on our pole!) to write about. The hunters are saying they are seeing a lot of signs this year. So my point is if they are seeing all these signs and

A sure sign of deer season in Jackman is the patrolling of hunters through the camps around 7 at night to see if there are any deer hanging on the poles. There were 3 next door!

We will keep you updated of the hunt this month. Good

The second moose tagged in Jackman on the first day of the moose season.

2 Guests who had been here the past 3 days said that the partridge hunting had been really good for them. Each person in the 2 groups got their limit each day out. And yet, another fella said he didn't see one in 3 days.

Today is the day when those of you who have been trying for a Maine Moose permit will be decided. Are you going to be the lucky ones : I have to stress the word ""lucky"" in this entry as that is all that it is.

Grouse season starts October 1st and this year should be a good year...

Moose season also promises to be good as there have been so many sitings this summer....even during the day. Mike saw a beautiful Bull up on Bald Mountain Monday. Can't wait to see his picture!
