In this episode of STAGR Cast we go all in and talk everything Maine, with one of Maine's best deer hunting ambassadors, Rodney Elmer. Rodney and his family have really taken over the Maine deer hunting scene over the past several years with their great and wholesome content, where they've taken bucks, shown some of their best days, some of their harder days, and the true connection between a strong hunting family. Working in taxidermy and being heavily involved with Fish & Game, Rodney knows a thing or two about these big northern bucks we all loves to chase. We cover a wide variety of topics about what Rodney likes most about hunting Maine, understanding the network of logging roads, deer activity, locating better than average bucks, and of course we sprinkle in some exceptional deer stories. We get to hear the exciting story of Rodney's first Maine 200 pounder, close calls with a buck named "Mr. T", "Long Toes", and a handful of others. Sit back and enjoy this episode, as we come to you from the Mountain Deer Taxidermy shop. There's a lot to soak up!

Recap on the season so far, a little bit about what we've been up to, some success up to this point, and some laughs.

Greg and Adam headed to Huntstock, they shoot the breeze about the event and everything in between. Enjoy Greg's entertainment.

Welcome back to another episode of STAGR Cast. In this episode we sit down with Glenn Bombardier of Williston, VT and cover an array of topics and stories from Glenn's hunting career. Glenn is a successful deer tracker, family man, and a true outdoorsman who is always happy to share information and tips to help people better themselves in the deer woods. We start this episode out by going back Glenn's beginning days in the woods where he was primarily a sitter and traditional Vermont Deer Hunter, we then go over his transition to tracking, what caught his interest, and how he committed himself fully to becoming a successful Tracker. Glenn had the unique opportunity to learn from the Benoit's back in the day at their deer schools and even getting to tag his first 200 pound buck while hunting out of the Benoits' camp. We break down Glenn's strategy for hunting bare ground, what he looks for when tracking and a whole lot more. We cap it off with a few of Glenn's best buck stories and more. Be sure to follow Glenn on Instagram or Facebook to keep up with his future deer seasons! @Glenn.Bombardier

Summary of Bill S.258 “The goals of this bill are to remove outdoors people from guidance of how we hunt, fish, and trap and to further reduce coyote hunting. It won’t stop here. Next year it will be more, and then more. For those who don't deal with these matters all the time it's important to know that all the Fish and Wildlife Board has authority over is HOW we are allowed to hunt, fish, and trap for certain species. The antis, in typical fashion continue to conflate the role of the board with the management of all wildlife. Placing those opposed to the taking of wildlife on a board that only has authority over the taking of wildlife makes about as much sense as placing a barber in charge of pre-flight safety inspections on commercial airplanes. Nothing good will come of it. -This bill disbands the Fish and Wildlife Board and dismisses all current members. It then creates a new advisory board and gives the authority to appoint 8 of the board members to the legislature, leaving four for the commissioner. -The same legislature that has decided rural Vermonters and our right to hunt don’t matter would appoint 66% of board members. -There will only be 12 members, leaving two counties without a representative. -The law would require appointing “nonconsumptive” users, defined as people who do not hunt, fish, or trap. -It removes existing language requiring the maintenance of the deer herd as a primary goal of the department. -Finally, it makes it illegal to hunt coyotes over bait or with hounds.” - Vermont Traditions Coalition Donate to Jeremy “Jerf” Farnham Go Fund Me https://www.gofundme.com/f/jeremy-jerf-farnham Check out recent STAGR videos: https://www.youtube.com/@stagrgear
