Here, you see a waterfowl hunting boat being positioned onto its trailer in Naskeag Harbor yesterday. Apparently, the men were returning from a morning hunt while hidden off one of the islands in Eggemoggin Reach.
Waterfowl hunting is highly regulated in Maine. The allowable seasons vary by species and state hunting zones, but November and December seem to be the months when much of that shooting takes place in the waters around here. We often wake up to “boom-boom-booms” from the Reach then. (Hunting hours begin at 30 minutes before sunrise.) (Brooklin, Maine)
