Good news for Maine hunters. The turkey hunting season will be opening early! This is a great way to get outside, adhere to social distancing, and carry on a great Maine tradition.
There are a ton of videos of moose calls (good ones and bad ones) out there on YouTube, but this video probably stands apart from the rest, because a moose actually shows up!
Turkey hunting season is Maine was scheduled to start on Monday. But because of the massive manhunt for John Williams that ended on Saturday, Mainers may have to wait an extra day or two to begin their hunting. Governor LePage had to issue a special proclamation to close hunting in the area of the manhunt.
