MAINE SUNDAY TELEGRAM • January 29, 2023
A late January thaw offered an ideal opportunity to hit the local woodlots in search of snowshoe hare. So I grabbed my 20 gauge, the one with the side-by-side barrels, hopped into the truck and headed for the local woodlot. As my hunt had turned into more of a walk, I headed over toward the pond and the expected sight of someone drilling holes in the ice. “It must be a sign,” I thought. “It’s been a great hunting season, but it’s time to put the guns away and go fishing.” ~ Bob Humphrey
