Region B – Central Maine

-Scott Lindsay, Regional Wildlife Biologist

On the wildlife management areas, regional staff followed up on a couple ATV/Snowmobile access issues. Use of the management areas for these purposes must occur on designated trails only. We also met with our forester at Morgan Meadow WMA in Raymond where we evaluated timber stands proposed for harvest in the near future. Management on these properties is done using the best forest management practices with much consideration given to improving stand quality and wildlife habitat.

I recently spent a day on the Libby River within Scarborough Marsh. This is a site being considered for future restoration work as part of a collaborative effort of MDIF&W, USF&WS, U.S. Dept. of Agriculture, Duck's Unlimited and Friends of Scarborough Marsh. During the site visit we evaluated the extent of man-made ditches from the early 1900's and noted any occurrences of Phragmites australis, a prolific invasive plant that can have a negative impact on native marsh plants and wildlife. A local field researcher from Cornell University is investigating the potential use of biological control using insects rather than herbicides in the management of phragmites. During this rainy Friday on the lower Libby, we observed dozens of ducks in the pannes and creeks of this vast wetland. There were blacks, mallards and teal taking to wing.

The fall turkey season continues in WMDs 21, 22 and 23 until Friday with archery only. The first fall shotgun season on Turkey ended this past week. A look at the registration stations in the region indicates many hunters have taken advantage of this new hunting opportunity. Hens and toms are usually in separate flocks this time of year. Hunting with a shotgun in the fall will usually require breaking up the flock and targeting a bird as they reassemble. Just as in the spring, fall turkey hunting is limited to one bird, though that bird may be a hen or a tom.

Region A is on the southern extreme of the moose hunting zone with several towns in Wildlife Management District (WMD) 12 within the region. The two moose registration stations tagged a total of 14 moose; a small increase over last year. WMD 15, stretching from Lovell down to Newfield, is scheduled to open to moose hunting in 2008 with a conservative allocation of 35 permits. This WMD will deviate from the rest of the zone in that moose hunting will coincide with the November deer hunt. Though this WMD does not have vast acreage of industrial forest, there are many sparsely settled towns with mixed agricultural land and meadows interspersed with large blocks of managed forest.

If hockey is not your sport but being outdoors is then Gunn’s carries and services a wide variety of skateboards, rollerblades, and baseball needs as far as gloves and baseball bats by Easton, and TPX. He also carries riding helmets and clothing to make the most novice outdoor sports person at least look good. Gunn’s carries all sizes from youth all the way up to bigfoot but in my mind the thing I like the most about Gunn’s is that no matter how much money you have or what your needs are for you or your family’s hockey or other outdoor sports needs Rick and his staff will help you complete the hat trick. (Value, trust, and service) For great quality and really great prices head on down or call Gunn’s Sports Shop and at least take a look around and tell them Skinny Moose sent you!

The equipment in hockey is not cheap but as the owner told me that his $40 skate is a better quality than other stores $60 skate. He also gives you a free sharpening of your new skates and also gives 25% off the complete six piece package of new hockey equipment for kids. If you don’t want to spend or don’t have much money, Gunn’s Sports Shop also carries used skates and equipment.

This six to seven very friendly and knowledgeable staff that work with owner Rick Gunn and his thirty-one years of hockey equipment experience will leave you and your family with a sense of ease, and your best interest in mind.

His staff will work with your budget, needs, and they like to get you and your family on their way to building a hockey enthused atmosphere. Gunn’s also shapes stick blades to repairing eyelets on your skates and everything in between.

When you think “good value for the money” you may think Walmart or some other monopolized store. But if you actually think about the sale, service, and accessories, then you should seriously consider Gunn’s Sports Shop at 52 Green Point Road in Brewer, Maine. 207-989-9838;
