Maine has long been a well-known and frequently visited hunting region. Long ago, moose and caribou were abundant and as time passed, trappers have been able to earn a decent living pursuing choice and prized fur-bearing animals. Small game and waterfowl populations remained fairly stable over the years and have continued to increase in popularity. However, as large areas of habitat were cleared for timber, larger animals began to disappear and opulations dwindled. Trapping has since become a less favorable mode of producing income because of the low prices offered for native and raw fur. Maine's Hunting Past captures the pursuit of wild animals through a century of documentation. Since about 1850, animals have been taken for sport, for food, and for their hides. Hunting has long been not only a sport but also an industry, resulting in the increase and growth of sporting camps and an expanding number of guides. Maine's Hunting Past highlights favorite regions, featuring famous sporting camps and well-known guides. Big game, small game, upland birds, waterfowl, furbearers, and numerous photographs of trophy animals and large bag limits are all included.

This plain-spoken account of two hunters who spent a winter roaming the wilds of Maine in 1877 is a deeply insightful account of the hunting and trapping life. Quality furs were constantly in demand throughout the 19th century, with pelts from larger animals such as bears highly sought after. Groups of men experienced in the outdoors would venture on expeditions lasting months, trapping and hunting small and large creatures. Barker and Danforth describe surviving in the wilderness for an extended time, often eating the meat from caribou they had hunted, while drying the furs that they be fit for sale. The pair possess skills in crafting a variety of traps and both can handle the rifle - a weapon which revolutionized game hunting. From the outset, the authors state they wish to present the hunter's life in an unromantic, frank, and unvarnished way. The arduous work of collecting pelts, pursuing game, and keeping themselves fed and sheltered is described, with the landscape and wooded areas of the Maine wilderness baldly accounted for, its rugged beauty rarely acknowledged. Yet a brotherly bond developed between the men, and at the conclusion of the season's hunt they vow to return next year. The final page of this book includes the authors' receipt for the mink, beaver, muskrat and bear furs sold to traders in Boston.

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1901 edition. Excerpt: ...If the sportsman is skilled enough to follow silently the tracks made in the new snow he will get his deer or moose. If he is unskilled in the art of still hunting he will not. The animal may go for some miles through the thickest part of the woods round about, passing over boggy places, through dense growth of small trees and bushes, over fallen trees, through cedar swamps, everywhere, in fact, but where the hunter would like to have him go, that is, in the more open places. Follow the track he must if he would get the deer, and to follow it noiselessly is an art one does not acquire in a day. The snapping of a twig, the breaking of a 1 dry branch under the snow, a cough or sneeze, any unusual noise, will send the fleet-footed deer or moose off at his best pace, and the hunt for that particular animal is necessarily off. Still hunting as practised in Maine calls for the best traits of the sportsman. Patience and endurance must be his, for though the game is plenty enough to suit the most exacting, nature has endowed it with senses more acute than man's with which to care for itself. Superior sight, smell and hear-ing are on the side of the animal. So too are ways of get-ting through the forest. A deer or moose will pass silently through underbrush or blown down trees (known locally as "blowdowns "), where a man, in making the same passage, would crash along with a noise that to him sounds like that of a heavy freight train. To add to the hunter's feeling Features that he is the noisiest living thing in the forest, the intense of Still stillness of the woods makes all sound appear louder than it Hunting, really is. On still, frosty days, when there is no wind to stir the trees, the very silence is noisy. It roars in the ears...

Maine has a rich history of hunting, fishing, and other outdoor pursuits. The First People fished and hunted for their survival, as did the first Europeans to visit the area. Later, the Maine sporting camp was popularized as a place to escape from the bustle and test your manhood against the wilderness of the northern woods. Teddy Roosevelt considered his experiences in the Maine wilds instrumental in developing the man he became. Today, these outdoor sports are as popular as ever, and there is no shortage of talented writers to bring the magic of the hunt or the thrill of landing the big one vividly to life. This anthology collects stories and essays from 20th and 21st century writers, including George Smith, Tom Hennessey, and Edmund Ware Smith. Perfect for camp or home, it will remind readers of past adventures and inspire new ones.

Before airplanes, and with few roads, getting to Maine and the isolated fishing spots that made the state a world famous fisherman's paradise was no small task. Huge resorts and hotels peppered the fishing regions, accommodating hundreds, perhaps thousands of sportsmen at any one time. From these lodgings, sports with their guides branched out, taking expeditions and canoe journeys that lasted for days, even weeks, into Maine's wilderness. Only recently have vacationers been transient and as such, have changed the concepts of fishing in wilderness areas forever. Today, the hotels are mostly gone, and people now fish for a few hours to a day or more and then move on. Glimpses of Maine's Angling Past returns to the days when vacationers settled into their camps for whole summers, before the endless acres of timber were dissected by logging roads, and secret, little-known lakes and ponds took days or weeks to reach. This long-anticipated volume includes countless images from the entire state, broken down into eight distinct areas: the Sebago Lakes, the Belgrade Lakes, the Rangeley Lakes, Down East, the Penobscot River Valley, the Kennebec River Valley, the Moosehead Lake Region, and northern Maine and "the County." Included are rare photographs from lodges no longer in existence and antique sports magazines such as In the Maine Woods and Field and Stream. All of this is complemented by the author's painstaking research and his intimate memories of Maine's sporting history.
