In less than two weeks, hunters from across the state and the country will be combing the Maine woods and riding the roads in search of moose.
The first week of the season begins on Monday, Sept. 25.
If you’re looking to get the hunting juices flowing, or you simply enjoy watching the state’s largest game animal, here is a peek at the offerings we have in Maine.
Today’s videos come to us from our friend Colin Chase of Gray, who continues to pile up amazing trail camera videos of an array of creatures great and small. It features two majestic bull moose as they stroll quietly along a busy game trail.
Most hunters would be drooling at the prospect of catching a glimpse of the first bull, which walks purposefully, huffing and puffing, right past Chase’s camera. Not many hunters would pass up the chance to harvest that big boy, which was still sporting velvet on its antlers.
The moose in the second segment makes its appearance at night, but it is another smasher. As if having been given a cue by a Hollywood director, the bull walks into the frame showing off its incredible antler spread, its eyes glowing in the camera’s light.
This one is another beauty that was making the rounds on a well-beaten path through the forest.
We are indebted to Colin Chase for allowing us to share his videos with Bangor Daily News readers. You can check out more of his numerous offerings by visiting his “Maine Woodsbooger” YouTube channel.
