Sure looks like someone tried to cover it up.

The matawamkeag one shouldn’t be hard to figure out - It’s only a few people that live there, and only a couple of them are stupid and criminal enough to shoot an eagle.

That's what people always want to think. if it was someone from another community or state, then the local guide that took them to that site knows who they are.

Never stops frustrating me how Mainers refuse to see cruelty in their own. I was born and grew up in this state, and I grew up with plenty of people who would absolutely have done something like this. Many would have done it with their parents.

I dunno, man. I grew up in a pretty small town, too. Not that small, but small.

Why do people suck so much? I really don’t understand why people poach when they are only going for wastage of game.

Majority of hunters, even out of state aren't hiring guides

Some out-of-state hunter is not going to wind up in Matawamkeag unless somebody from Maine told him about it and showed him where to go

Bald eagle hunting season would be pretty neat

Absolutely they could. It's not that remote of a place. Right on rt2 fairly close to 95

I don’t know if you’ve ever gone to another state before but if you’re an unfamiliar territory it’s really unlikely that you just get out of your car and start hunting somewhere. Somebody local was involved in this.

I've hunted Montana, Virginia, Colorado and Pennsylvania without a guide. Did research, google earth and gave myself a few days pre-season to scout the areas I looked at online. Every hunt was successful. Not difficult task
