Birds have been great this year, I have been seeing alot of them. Grouse and woodcock numbers are up compared with last years season. Last year we had a lot of spring rains that left hard to find with the youngs dying out early.

Eastport is about 40 miles from me and if you bow hunt and get to know a few folks down there you are in prime deer hunting grounds. I was down to Eastport fishing the pier ealier this year catching a few mackeral and watch a couple of whales swing out in front. It was pretty neat to see them out there.
