MAINE SUNDAY TELEGRAM • October 20, 2024
By most accounts (there are always a few malcontents), the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife (IFW) has done a commendable job of managing our most iconic big game animal, the Maine moose. However, no system is perfect and it’s a dynamic process. Some complaints are baseless or beyond the means of the agency to handle. Others have merit. The folks at IFW consider them all and do the best to address them. When you consider all that goes into managing Maine’s moose, or deer or turkeys, it’s a thankless task. ~ Bob Humphrey
