Outdoorsy Questions for the Guides/Wardens

Hello All,

I am producing a show and interviewing John Ford and Paul J. Fournier about their time as Maine Guides/Wardens.

I want your questions… what do you want to know?

You have until July 20th to post them here! Then listen to Maine Calling to see if we ask it. I will post the link to the show when it gets closer.

Thanks

  1. What was the toughest part about being a guide?
    Did you ever run across hunters you wanted to leave out in the wilderness?
    obviously you love the outdoors, but was there any time you can recall where you wanted to be back at camp instead of out in the woods?

  5. Ask John how his golf game is…

I survived my first solo bear hunt

Everything was going just fine until I realized that I had the wrong gun. I had packed everything that I would need and was getting comfortable with the idea of sitting by myself in the tree blind. It was 90 degrees.  The odds of a bear coming in were really not...

In search of sheds

Dad, Hubby and I set off to see if we could find some sheds.  Dad has found them before but I really wanted to see what sort of bucks lived through the season.  On Saturday, with a light snow falling, we took to the woods. A very active deer trail Dad had...
