Congratulations Matthew & Amy

Hurricane Irene did not spoil this beautiful wedding on Saturday, August 27th here at Bosebuck Mountain Camps.  Congratulations Matthew & Amy, we wish you all the best and a long, happy life together.

Speaking of the hurricane, we only received about 3 inches of rain and moderate winds yesterday and into the overnight.  The skies are already beginning to clear and the current temperature is 57 degrees.  Web cams are down due to software issues, but our satellite Internet service has been restored.

Our bear hunters have arrived and are anxious to start the season this afternoon so good luck to all.

Bosebuck Mountain Camps had the pleasure of hosting, for two years in a row now, the Maine chapter of Casting for Recovery this past weekend.  All 14 participants and staff had a great time and we hope to repeat the experience again next year. Additional information can be found at www.castingforreovery.org
Just a reminder that we will not be accepting any reservations for dinner or lodging this Friday and Saturday due to my son's wedding here at Bosebuck.  Cross your fingers for great weather on Saturday.

The summer has been beautiful but dry and Bosebuck Mountain Camps has been filled with an abundance of families enjoying the great outdoors together.  We welcomed back some old friends and met new families too.

Yesterday and again today the much needed rain has been falling, although the skies are beginning to brighten and I see some patches of blue appearing as well.  Both the fish and fishermen will be happy with any amount of rain Mother Nature sends our way.

Just a reminder, due to private functions, Casting for Recovery and my son's wedding, Bosebuck Mountain Camps will not be open to the public this Friday, Saturday and Sunday (19th, 20th, 21st) and the following Friday and Saturday (26th & 27th).  We are happy to accept reservations for lodging or dinner from the general public on any other days.

Also, due to cancellation, we have some limited openings for bear hunts.  The season opens on August 29th and runs for four weeks.  Call or email if you thought you missed the boat and would like to experience a great Maine Black Bear Hunt this year.

It seems that we have finally hit a stretch of great summer weather.  Cool nights for sleeping and even what little rain we have received has fallen late afternoon and evening.  I snapped this photo this morning at about 5:30AM just after sunrise.

Cool air meets warm water with beautiful fog rising only to disperse into thin air.



Happy Birthday America

Bosebuck Mountain Camps 07-04-2011

The fog has burned off since I snapped this photo earlier this morning and temps have already reached a very humid 73 degrees.  We have several families in camp this week and they are all out and about enjoying the great outdoors, in boats, kayaks, and fishing right off the dock.

Here is another photo of M4 that I thought you might appreciate on this Fourth of July.  The patriotic future of America from nature's perspective - thanks for the photo Ed!

 



New Neighbors

Yesterday, on the first day of summer 2011, we were visited by our two new neighbors; M4 and S4.  We were pleasantly surprised to learn that two eagles hatched, not one as previusly thought.  Bill and Mike were kind enough to once again allow us to participate in the banding process which took place right here at Bosebuck Mountain Camps.


M4 Approx 4 weeks old & 5 lbs.







Shannon with S4 @ 4 weeks old & 5 lbs



Both eagles were measured, weighed, banded and returned to their nest safe and sound all under the watchful eyes of their parents who were never very far away.

and the winner is?

Congratulations to all the lucky winners who's name was pulled at the Maine Moose Lottery on Saturday, June 18th.  I'm sure that was a great early Father's Day gift for some.  If you are one of the winners for Wildlife Management District #7, you should give us a call and book your hunt at Bosebuck Mountain Camps.  Just take a look at this beast taken by one of our guests.

We have a great success rate and healthy population of trophy size moose in this district.  Pick up the phone and book your hunt today!
