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 friends or family (we had quite a few father and son combos this year which is so wonderful to see) and to get a buck is just the icing on the cake.

Most said that the signs were all there; they know they were out there and the snow the past week did help for tracking. It just was not their time to get one.

Better luck next year for firearms....although muzzleloader season is still happening so best of luck to you too.

BTW, if you are a hunter reading this entry and have a great story to tell about a hunting experience or even just a ""being out in the woods"" experience, go to the JMRRCOC website http://jackmanmaine.org/
and ""Tell the story"". Hunters have a chance to win a coupon and raffle book.....and be entered to win 2 night stay in the region in 2008. I know you all love to tell the stories...just need to put it in writing!
