May 2010 Issue

The contents of this May’s issue of The Maine Sportsman really demonstrates this dilemma as our regional writers have gone all out to tell you where to find the gobblers and the trout.

Of course, it is possible to do both in the same morning as the cover photo of this month’s issue also demonstrates.  The picture is of Mike Guarino who shot that handsome trophy gobbler while filming an episode of Harry Vanderweide’s Northeast Journal. Not only did they two manage to locate the gobbler while sitting in a boat, but they followed it up by successfully catching a nice bunch of smallmouth bass, all before 9 a.m.

There are hundreds of waters in Maine — everything from meandering brooks to huge lakes — where it’s possible to float along at daybreak calling turkeys and then later fish for trout, salmon, bass, pike, or whatever species you prefer. Of course, there are no guarantees in either hunting or fishing, but even if you don’t score, you’ll get to spend the morning outdoors in Maine during the month of May … and what is better than that?

The May issue of The Maine Sportsman is jam-packed with all sorts of useful outdoor information, ranging from shooting a moose with a longbow to how dancing naked in the woods can help you avoid catching Lyme disease.  Check it out!
