As I wrote recently I am truly fortunate that my work takes me outdoors to do the things I love and then to the policy arenas where the future of those things and the places where they happen are discussed. Usually while working as the executive director of the Maine Professional Guides Association.
October flew by that is for sure. Guiding grouse and woodcock hunters at Libby Camps in northern Maine and a few in the area filled the end of the month for me. This was a year with very high numbers of birds and good weather; definitely a standard to measure others against. Sunday brought a surprise snowstorm that left a little better than six inches of new snow here in Union.
Hard to believe that it is mid-October already, another season has flown by. This weekend was what I suspect will be the last family fishing trip of 2011. Fishing is not over for sure but families are much less likely to spend time on the water as the air gets cooler. I look forward to seeing this family each time; I’m not sure who has more fun on our trips.
