That’s a classic picture and a good looking dog. Good luck and happy hunting.
Shoot vintage firearms, relax, and have fun.

Re: The clampets visit Maine
Here you go Allan. I changed orientation with Paint as per the thread in the "Pictures of your Fox" forum. Looks like the start of a good getaway and hunt. frank

Re: The clampets visit Maine
As soon as I saw the thread with the orientation of the pictures all mixed up I had a cartoon like vision of Silver's head exploding. LOL!!!


Looks like a great time. Stay safe.

Re: The clampets visit Maine
Tell us more about your gun and your dog. Just looking at those pics lowers my BP.
Owning a Fox is not a spectator sport.

Re: The clampets visit Maine
Thank you Frank I just got back to Virginia from Maine. Weather was crazy some nights down in the very low thirtys ice on ground and covering the truck in the morning climbing to near 80 in the afternoon. We had to work for the birds after a hot and very dry pre season. it was peak foliage color and lots of leaves to shoot through. Lots of wind and I didn't feel safe to take a boat out on Tim Pond. but did well in the Kennebeck. At first I couldn't get any takes and saw fish rising and snapping at dry leaves . I switched to a brown fly and got hooked up a couple of casts later. I Was able to release Two of the biggest brook trout of my life. I was hoping for my first double on Patridge but was happy with the hard earned singles over my old dog. Cell coverage is almost non existent except for s small part of the mountain and is not easy to post from phone. Location is worth the small inconvenience.

Re: The clampets visit Maine
Sounds like a great trip. Did you get any pictures of the pats?

Re: The clampets visit Maine
I have a friend up there at Tim's Pond as I write this. I believe he starts hunting tomorrow. Has a 10 year old Springer with him. I think this is his second trip up there. We used to hunt together for years, but he moved out of the area a few years ago. Didn't even know he would be up there until he dropped me a note.simcgunner wrote: ↑Sat Oct 11, 2025 2:09 pm Thank you Frank I just got back to Virginia from Maine.

Re: The clampets visit Maine
all land is timber land and accessed by logging roads. Its rustic and has very spotty cell service. I broke an arm a few years ago and had to drive 2 hrs to nearest Doctor. to me it is the best place to decompress and look forward to getting up there each year. not too far from the Sugar- Loaf ski resort.
