TWO THINGS:

One, the fact that a batch of birds were ground swatted merely means there are birds, so there's that and that's not bad.

Two, from what I WAS TOLD and I could be wrong, and this was by a guide: "Try to get road hunting outlawed and try to change it and the state of Maine and the locals might try to change the laws to make out of state hunters jump through more hoops, such as requiring a guide or making the license very very expensive. It's easy and open access but you have to deal with the way things are, don't like it, go to another state." So I'm not sure if that's true or not, but don't piss in the locals cheerios, they own the bowl and the milk I guess. Reminds me of NYC people over running the Catskill rivers, they spawned the drift boat plaque and I will they'd just all leave. We don't want that in Maine is sort of what he was saying. Outsiders can't dictated what the locals do or you'll be sorry.
