What started as a spur-of-the-moment trip quickly turned into an unforgettable experience as he harvested a beautiful Maine black bear.

Just as fast as our 2024 moose season started, it ended! Much planning goes into a Maine moose hunt...scouting, gear, equipment, manpower, you name it. One plans for the worst but hopes for the best. Our first morning out we felt we had a good game plan for opening day. We intended to get into some deep woods away from other hunters where we had found some fresh sign the night before. Well, let's just say things didn't go as planned. In fact, we didn't even get a chance to put our plan into action! Things happened fast and just like that...Mark’s tag was punched! Enjoy!
With the rut hitting peak in northern Maine, the bucks were on the move. We had been seeing tons of buck sign but have yet to even lay eyes on a deer...until this day. You keep at it every day and eventually, EVENTUALLY...you'll connect with that big buck. Some seasons it takes 20 minutes, other times it's 20 days. Doesn't matter, enjoy the journey! You never know what you will see when you hunt the big woods of northern Maine. It just so happened, this was the day Mark connected with his big buck! Happy Thanksgiving and enjoy!
