November is always a time of reflection for me; the season is for all intents and purposes over and there is a pause before my responsibilities as Executive Director of the Maine Professional 
Guides Association take most of my time. Yesterday I spoke to a Forest Resources class at the University of Maine about what I do and how I got started so very long ago.
The season is definitely winding down now. I guided a grouse hunter on Monday and fished on Tuesday. This morning’s snow really puts a cap on the season end (picture). I will continue to fish mostly for fun for the next few weeks and any warm afternoon is a good chance to work the dogs but pretty much it is over.
October is always a busy month and this year it has been no different. With snow in the forecast this weekend it must be coming to an end. I spent part of my time at Libby Camps in Northern Maine 
guiding grouse and woodcock hunters.
