CENTRAL MAINE • September 12, 2024
I am thrilled and excited to be launching “Hunt & Harvest.” I started hunting when I was 20 years old because I was curious about what deer hunting entailed. I knew people who were adamantly against hunting, but I knew that what my dad was doing was not wrong. My curiosity about hunting and conservation has taken me from deer to turkey to bear. It is very easy to judge something you have never seen or done. So in 2014, during the bear hunting referendum, I volunteered with groups and met people who were avid bear hunters and guides. One of my goals is always to expose more people to hunting and conservation through my stories. ~ Erin Merrill
