First Trip to the Trapper Cabin:

Donnie, Stevie, and I take out first trip to the Trapper Cabin to drop off a load of boards for sheathing that we milled from some White Pine that we dropped earlier in the year. We take a little tour of the area and see Ruffed Grouse, Fox, Redtail Hawks, Pine Marten, Whitetail Deer, and Moose. The first trip up was a success, heavy load and a 7.5 hour drive. Stay tuned for the entire series.

Thanks!!

Hey Joe and Donnie! I grew up in this camp. We sure did create a ton of memories up there! 35 years worth of birds, deer, moose, bear, and snowmobile seasons! I’m truly elated to watch you gentlemen start this adventure and create you own! Before I was even born, my father was introduced to the NMW by his father in law, my grandpa. They started coming up in the late 60’s-early 70’s in a school bus camper, and deer hunt for weeks on end parked at the top of witch hill. We’ve been coming up ever since.

[@JoeHollandFishing]

That’s awesome we are excited to hear more about the history of the area and the camp! Thanks for sharing

[@NickLindner]

Excited to see more man!

[@JoeHollandFishing]

Awesome buddy! I figured you would like to see more of Maine before you come! And hear the accents.

[@tWoforgamenot1]

i'll be looking .

[@JoeHollandFishing]

Thank you!

[@williamemmons8816]

Been through that Northwoods gate a few times on my way to my favorite preserve land. When you get more time to explore take some time to fish in the Debouille area.

[@JoeHollandFishing]

Awesome will do thank you. I know Brandon and the boys did a big snowmobile trip through a few years ago.

[@williamemmons8816]

@@JoeHollandFishing I have only fished it during spring and summer. Most of the ponds and lakes have the elusive bluebacks in them.

Awesome!! I love the north Maine woods and great video buddy!!

[@JoeHollandFishing]

Thanks buddy

[@dansmidwestangling]

If you're talking about the mill abouts 6 miles off rt 11 in Portage, I used to pull hardwood out of there for flooring about 10 years ago before I moved to Wisconsin. No idea if that's what they still do though

[@JoeHollandFishing]

Very cool I think it’s the same one

[@dansmidwestangling]

You'll really love that zone I remember the bird population being pretty healthy between Fish River Lake and Big Machias, that's some amazing beautiful country. Can't wait to see the camp come together!

[@jefferyholland]

Gonna be a great adventure to follow along with Joe. Looking forward to it.

[@JoeHollandFishing]

Thank you so much

[@massholeTurk]

Carr pond,trail,been on that a few times. Brother belongs to a private cabin at far end of lake. Fish River ckpt. Beautiful area you guys are in. Good luck. Turkeys all the way up therel? Tough wintering.

[@JoeHollandFishing]

Yeah we were a little surprised to see the turkeys . Also excited to fish Carr pond and have a warm camp to go to at night

[@nateboucher5495]

Dobson Fly is the bug! My grandfather calls them moose flys not sure why maybe cause it’s big. Not sure if anyone calls them that but I just learned about Dobson flys this year.

[@JoeHollandFishing]

For sure on the Dobson. There is another fly that hang out on and around Moose that's about four times the size of a deer fly we call moose flies.

[@RandomStuff-zt6qf]

30:08 truer words never been spoken friends

[@JoeHollandFishing]

Thanks

[@danlevecque7203]

Another great adventure. I thought long term leases were a thing of the past. I’m guessing the project you’re taking on, you have a long time plan. I but an off grid 16 x 20 camp in Lovell Me.6 years ago. Not being a professional carpenter it was a challenge and one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. Good luck to the 3 of you. I have 6x10 10 k dump trailer if you need some help. I’m in southern Maine but I am familiar with where you’re at.

[@JoeHollandFishing]

Thank you!!! We are super excited for the project

[@mikerogers9711]

Portage gate? i have camped at car pond and fish river falls many many times. awesome country

It sure is

I have a question on how you find a lease like this? Is it a waiting list you get on ? Or someone you know sells lease to you, Thanks

[@JoeHollandFishing]

I'm not sure if you can get on a list or not. I wouldn't hold my breath while waiting. We got this one through a sale. It was posted on the North Maine Woods website is how we first heard about it. I think there are a few more out there. One or two in the same area we are in but not posted.

Hello Joe, I hope you are well. Can you please put all your channels in the video description in the future? As far as I understood correctly, there are 3 channels from you. I have saved two of them and are familiar with them. I don't get a notification when a new video goes online. Please let me know the name of the third channel so I can subscribe to it. Many thanks and greetings from Germany.
