It's on in York Maine right now. The start of hunting season. Depending on what side of route 1 you live on, the rules are different. On my side hunters are only SUPPOSED to use bows. However, in previous years I have heard the distinct sounds of rifle shots, and then there was the dead deer parts my dog discovered. He actually proudly brought us the leg.
Here are the signs of a dead deer in your area. Your dogs are suddenly very interested in what's behind the hill to distraction. That skunk smell that you think is a skunk, um well, it isn't. Lessons hard learned by a former city girl.
We in fact have a deer stand near our border provided by the Bracy's in our area. It makes us feel very off put, but it's legal as long as they have permission by the person who owns the land, and are bow hunting. (and it's the season for whatever they are hunting) Be sure that you and your dogs are wearing the orange when you go out into the woods.
On a horrifying note, I have a friend that is a very responsible hunter. He was hunting the correct distance away with equipment that was correct. Unfortunately, the projectile ricocheted off a tree and ended up through the window where a family was enjoying their breakfast!!! Be aware of your surroundings and what is going on around them.
And for my dog friends who have the greatest job on earth as hunting dogs, be sure your human companions are responsible and wise.
