During my time at Libby Camps both Matt Libby and I had a meeting of the task force on the deer herd in northern and eastern Maine to attend. We were able to schedule the meeting on a day when we were both off from guiding and were could travel together. Matt needed to take one of his floatplanes to the sea plan base near Bangor where the meeting was being held and was kind enough to offer to fly us down. A return ride to northern Maine was arranged.
This fall’s foliage seems to be better than I remember. It is interesting though to be in two regions of the state separated by a little better than 200 miles and see the differences. I travelled home from Libby Camps this weekend for a little rest and relaxation. (Actually to clear out my mailbox and the top of my desk in the office) At any rate the foliage here on the coast lags the North Country by a week or so in my estimation.
This week started my month of guiding upland bird hunters. The dogs and I are spending most of October at Libby Camps chasing grouse and woodcock. So far the season is off to a pretty slow start due to the incredibly warm weather. Thursday it was 82 degrees on the thermometer in the Yukon when I checked at about 2 in the afternoon. Yesterday was a little cooler but not what you would consider fall temperatures. This morning is very cool and windy.
