I don’t have an issue with the method the guides tell the big game hunters to use for birds. It is legal in Maine to drive to find birds, exit the vehicle and shoot. My issue is that the bear and moose guys don’t care about the birds and are only shooting them to pass idle hours before sitting for bear or after taking a moose. That time of year is hard on the dogs as it is usually too warm in September to run the dogs too long, if you can run them at all. I’m usually all for expanded seasons and more freedom to hunt. I just hope IFW didn’t mess this one up for the birds.
