    Maine Blackbear, Not Half The Bear He Used To Be.

    The Maine Wardens Service Is the oldest law enforcement agency in “Vacationland” and the men, ladies in green do more than herd hunters to make sure regulations are followed.

    Since 1880 making sure game is not wasted, establishing rules for the hunting, fishing in Maine, wardens have had to be ever vigilant.

    Earlier blog post highlighted Maine game warden Ben Drew. Besides making sure your fish numbers are in the legal limits allowed, that you have the right permit in the right zone for a deer, moose, snowsledding, four wheeler ATV, boater safety is part of the job. So is search and rescue that is expensive in a state as big, under populated as Maine where wildlife outnumbers people 1000 to one.

    Early Maine game wardens were on “commission” being paid by the violators they caught, per case basis.

    Unlike Maine agencies with dedicated revenues, permits, licenses and fines fund the salaries of the men and woman in green that spend most of their time outdoors in “Vacationland”. Maine, one beautiful state to call home, to run away to when you have time off any of the four seasons.

  • Your Maine Neighboring Property Owner Not Sure Of Line Location.

    Your Own Property Line In Maine May Be Not So Obvious.
    Your Own Property Line In Maine May Be Not So Obvious.

    You yourself not sure where the boundary line is either so what to do in Maine.

    Hire surveyors the right answer, split the cost. But sometimes the outcome is not so hand stand, hand clapping exicting for one of the parties who loses land, frontage, footage, real estate.

    So if it is a simple case of I think the other side of the apple tree. And that is where you thought it was, have mowed over the years.

    Then tell a surveyor who shoots the Maine boundary compass bearings you both agree on this line. This one right here.

    Rather than deed research, all the history of what happened over the years at thousands of dollars.

    Make the line where you think. Hopefully you both don’t have Maine home mortgages as your lien holder could say hey hey hey now. Release deeds of what I own on that side of the line, you giving me anything on the other side may sound way too simple. But we do it all the time in Maine real estate sales.

    It often costs more to determine the line that used to be the center of a gravel horseback, esker that is long gone. Then to shoot a line, get the angle, incorporate it in a legal description in those release deeds.

    Human nature could drive you crazy wondering did I lose a foot or two. But your check book will thank you. The neighbor will still invite you to backyard bbq’s, keep you on the Christmas card list.

  • Picking Maine Potatoes, Spending Time As A Kid In The Fields.

    Beautiful Potato Digger Using Horses.
    Beautiful Potato Digger Using Horses.

    Fall harvest, picking potatoes, packing a lunch, heading to the fields early in the morning in Northern Maine.

    Picking potatoes was every kid’s entry level job. The one where the kid buys his own winter jacket. Takes better care of it because he does.

    Maine potato harvest means getting up in the dark. Listening to the local radio station to see if Farmer Bass, Smith, Fitzpatrick, Winship is picking today. When the harvester crew is suppose to show up ar Corey Farms. Studying the weather forecast. Putting on long underwear because you can see your breath as the sun rises. But by early afternoon, you’ll be peeled down to a t-shirt.

    A Maine potato digger squealing by. Heck watch the video, head to the field.

    Listen as the big brother calls his little brother, reminding him, inviting him to help him pick.

    Maine, work ethic learned early on. During cool, breezy fall harvest of golden potatoes. Or raking blueberries, digging for Maine clams. The kids are better for it. The local farmers need their help too. Win, win situation.

  • How Big A Home, House In Maine Do You Really Need?

    Windy On This Maine Ridge With Generators

    Size in a Maine home matters when you have a growing family, a quivver of kids or gram, gramp living under the same house roof.

    But when the children grow up, move out of the nest and you are not excited about heating, maintainting, paying insurance and Maine property taxes on a big massive multi story place, small is better. All you need.

    Land in Maine is low cost, affordable and there are lots of smaller footprint, floorplan building plans to consider. A Mother Earth News home building article I read today outlines the benefits and considerations. Cathedral ceilings add sense of more space without a lot of added cost of Maine home construction.

    More and more folks leaving the city, concrete urban jungles of crime, traffic, high cost of living are considering a Maine relocation, retirement, move. Maine is wonderful clean four season living.

    With 6000 lakes, thousands of acres of unspoiled woods to roam, coastline to explore, trails to hike, snowsled, bike or atv. And all that Maine wildlife.

    But you will love the long laundry list of what Maine does NOT have. Like 4th lowest crime, no traffic, very cheap low cost Maine real estate. Friendly but way way fewer in number people that care about you, their families, jobs, communities.
