Since I wasn't using my compass, I was carrying the 7-mm Mauser, had the bear in my sights and safety off, then thought, "Do you really want to kill a bear?" After he'd disappeared, I remembered that I was 4,000 feet from the nearest logging road and that the 2nd half of that distance was a recent harvest in a cedar swamp. If I'd shot the critter, I might've needed to eat it right where it fell. (I've heard that a bear is, pound for pound, the most difficult animal to drag.) Until I eat bear meat and like it (and I'm confident I will), I'll not attempt to shoot one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing out there at all but deep forest…very remote. Gorgeous though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only have seen one, on a road in Gardiner after dark about 30 years ago. When the headlights illuminated the critter, I thought at first it was a goat. It had more white than the pic above, maybe 1/3 white-sided and 2/3 brown. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was my work from January 1976 thru early September 1985, Allagash/Estcourt/St.-Pamphile region, plus the township just east from the town of Eagle Lake. We moved to Fort Kent on New Years Day, and though that day had AN temps, the 5 days Jan 9-13 had minima of -33/-24/-36/-41/-37. Most of the spruce-fir logs and cedar shingle stock on our operations went to mills in St.-Pamphile, as the American markets back then were too distant. Closest was Pinkham, near Ashland, but they only bought spruce and the St.-P mills weren't enthusiastic about fir-only purchases. (Smaller logs with more taper, so more expensive to process.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s Very interesting. The mill in Madawaska and Edmunston wasn’t there back then? Ya, that northern crown of Maine up there can do cold like few other places in the lower 48 that’s for sure. Can be BRUTAL. Been up to Escort Station a few times, another remote frigid place in winter. How bout the airfield on the way to escort…that’s a neat runway out there in the middle of nowhere/massive forest wilderness. Drops off like a cliff at the end of it about 100ft…sledders got killed there a few years ago drag racing, and didn’t know it was a cliff at the end. Me and a couple of buddies just rented a cabin in the Cross lake/Sinclair region for the winter for sledding. We love it up there. Great people.

Damage In Tolland Posted October 25, 2022 Share Posted October 25, 2022 What a furnace today watching the THS soccer game in Wethersfield. Deep deep summer. People were drenched with back sweat with dews near 70. Soccer moms were peeling off sweatshirts and shawls like bananas 2 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowedin Posted October 25, 2022 Share Posted October 25, 2022 Man it’s soupy out there..if you were to add a little more sun and another hour of daylight you’d have me thinking it’s late summer or perhaps mid spring. Days and days of sultry dews lie ahead as extended summer continues! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MVOyster Posted October 25, 2022 Share Posted October 25, 2022 Fellas, I’m a deer hunter and we are all hoping for a temperature drop, like, a couple normal OCT/NOV high and dry NW wind days … not gonna happen, is it? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
