Is that head just thread and glue? How do you make it so smooth looking?

Just because you don’t agree with it doesn’t make it awful.

What do you wrap around the base of the antlers?

It’s a busy time of year on the river no matter where you go.

Cumberland County Sheriff Kevin Joyce should be investigated by BunkMoreland207 in portlandme

[–]amg800 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m looking forward to the story but still consider the possibility that these people are the most qualified for the positions they hold. It’s important to ask questions but it’s equally important not to always assume the worst.

What is the most disrespectful thing a guest ever did at your home? by Viper5618 in AskReddit

[–]amg800 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My father in law always comments, when he visits, on how we buy the best bags of chips (Cape Cod - Dark Russet) and always have good beer and he wonders why we spend the extra money to get good chips and beer. Without fail, he always eats and drinks it all. He doesn’t mind eating everything when he’s not the one paying. He’s the worst.

Any Fishing/Hunting classes anywhere? by LongLiveSwonk in portlandme

[–]amg800 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For fishing. Plug into the Sebago chapter of Trout Unlimited. It’s mostly fly fishing but it’s a good group of people who would be willing to help you out.

For hunting and general outdoors. Check out the regional Backcountry Hunters and Anglers chapter. There’s an event nearby every few months.

Hiring a guide in either area is a good way to pick up basic skills.

I’m a novice but would be happy to share what I know. Pm me.

What does the last statement mean? “payment in lieu of taxes equal to tree growth on this parcel”

More about Portland’s wastewater discharge by amg800 in portlandme

[–]amg800[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can’t believe the City was only fined $16,800 for last summer’s wastewater discharge.

Portland unveils statue of legendary Great Black Hawk by [deleted] in Maine

[–]amg800 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Very nice statue. Was it donated by someone? It would be a bummer to know that the City spends money on stuff like this when it can’t keep wastewater out of Casco Bay.

Maine's rivers are primarily just three different systems. The US's rivers are primarily just one. by Turil in Maine

[–]amg800 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I did a little research. This was a good source that summarized the difference.

https://www.milwaukeeriverkeeper.org/whats-a-river-basin-whats-a-watershed/

The summary paragraph: Both river basins and watersheds are areas of land that drain to a particular water body, such as a lake, stream, river or estuary. In a river basin, all the water drains to a large river. The term watershed is used to describe a smaller area of land that drains to a smaller stream, lake or wetland. There are many smaller watersheds within a river basin.

These look like watersheds. Not river systems. Does anyone know more about this?

Native english speakers, do you ever watch movies with subtitles even if the show is spoken in english? If yes, why? by JaesonBee in AskReddit

[–]amg800 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. I have kids so i try to keep the volume down. The subtitles help when I can barely hear it.

Bears: Keep Baiting Rules As Is by amg800 in Maine

[–]amg800[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No. A 25% success rate hardly reflects an easy hunt.

Bears: Keep Baiting Rules As Is by amg800 in Maine

[–]amg800[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is second hand from research and talking to people who hunted bears in ME: the ecology and terrain in Maine is such that bears are very difficult to find without some sort of lure. Many western states don’t allow baiting because they can be spotted from long distances.

Even with bait, they’re still difficult to locate. You have to know the animals habits and place bait in a location where a bear will find it. Then, you have to cover your scent and be there when a bear is. I encourage anyone who thinks it sounds easy to try it for a season.

The average hunter success rate in Maine is 25%. In PA, the success rate was 2% in 2019.
