Bob, Bills, Bears, and Ice Fishing Bans

Bob DuchesneIf you care about hunting and fishing in Maine, you’ll want to listen to Bob Duchesne’s Wild Maine radio show on 92.9 this weekend. The show airs on Saturday (January 24) at 9 am and Sunday at 8 am.

Bob and I offer insight on the 67 bills going to the Inland Fisheries and Wildlife, speculating on the details based on the list of titles we’ve been provided so far. We also talk about the specifics of the seven bills I have proposed.

There are bills on ice and open water fishing, Sunday hunting, deer, moose, bear, and turkeys, landowner relations, marketing of hunting and fishing, and lots more.

You need to know this stuff!

If you can’t listen on Saturday or Sunday, you’ll be able to access the show a little later online at www.929theticket.com.
