CARIBOU – A 28-year-old woman from New York was injured in an ATV accident at approximately noon today in the Caribou area.

Nicole Pone, of Albany, N.Y., was traveling with two others on three separate ATVs on the multi-use trail from Caribou to New Sweden when she hit a mud puddle and flipped her vehicle at least twice, according to Game Warden Ed Christie of the Maine Warden Service.

“She broke her right ankle,” Christie said. “It’s a pretty serious injury that could require surgery.”

Ms. Pone is visiting Maine with Gerald Tardiff and his son, Gerry, both of Albany, N.Y. They were not injured.

According to Warden Christie, Ms. Pone was not wearing a helmet. She was transported to Cary Medical Center in Caribou, and then to Aroostook Medical Center in Presque Isle.

The accident remains under investigation.

Tom — Fri, 13 Jun 2008 20:18:57 +0000

Actually, my head is still buzzing from the excitement of the event last evening that took place at the Kittery Trading Post in Kittery, Maine. It is my understanding that this is the first time that this event has been held at a venue like the Kittery Trading Post - a place of trade or business.

Although I am not a veteran of many previous Maine Moose Lottery drawings, I think it can be said that this one was a big success. (more…)

Looks Like Maine Will Head Back To Court Over Canada Lynx

Tom — Fri, 30 May 2008 12:36:04 +0000

This really shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone that many of the same groups that sued the state of Maine last year over inadvertent trapping of Canada lynx, are once again threatening a lawsuit if the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife doesn’t immediately take actions to stop the trapping of the lynx.

The Wildlife Alliance of Maine and the Animal Welfare Institute will join together to force the state to take action. (more…)

To Beat DEET Would Be Sweet!

Oh, my! For as long as man has taken to the woods, he has searched and searched for that magic “formula” that will keep biting insects away. For as long as man has searched for the secret there have been too-numerous-to-count “wives tales” formulas that “really do work”.

Take for example the blog I posted back in March about the use of Listerine mouth wash as an insect repellent. There have been over 30 comments from people who swear by it and those who will laugh in your face should you mention it. (more…)

Maine Hunter And Outdoor Writer Attacked By Coyote

Tom — Tue, 27 May 2008 12:56:11 +0000

Here’s one story you seldom hear about. Maine hunter and outdoor writer, Blaine Cardilli - a contributing writer for U.S. Hunting Today - was recently attacked by a coyote while turkey hunting with a friend.

Cardilli was turkey hunting with friend Orrin Parker. The two were fully camouflaged and set up for turkey hunting. Cardilli was using a slate call to call in gobblers for his friend when he was hit hard from the backside and toward his left by a full grown adult coyote. Cardilli thinks the coyote had been stalking his slate calls and picked up on his movements while calling. (more…)
