MAINE SUNDAY TELEGRAM • September 25, 2022
Maine moved the start of its upland bird season from the traditional Oct. 1 date to the last week in September. Who could argue about an additional week of hunting opportunity? There were several reasons for this adjustment, the biggest probably that it allows those participating in the first moose season an additional opportunity while traveling the remote roads of northern Maine in search of bigger game. It also offers sporting camps, lodges and guides an additional week to host hunters, and for hunters in general to get an earlier start on hunting season. ~ Bob Humphrey
