Forum for Responsible Dog Owners Who Enjoy Hunting With Their Dogs

Follow link below for CURRENT POSTS:
MAINE SPORTING & HUNTING DOG OWNERS

Maine Hunting & Sporting Dog Owners is extremely proud to announce that we are now being hosted by The Bangor Daily News through their Maine Living blogs!  We will better meet the needs of those who follow this blog as a "forum for responsible dog owners who enjoy hunting with their dogs."  The complete blog was imported to Bangor Daily News just a few days ago including all of our archived posts.  (I left just a couple here in hopes they would entice new readers to travel over to BDN!)

There are many reasons for us to be excited about this change including the following: 

"The BDN is notable in the newspaper business for having an extremely large coverage area. The BDN's print circulation area covers a large portion of mostly rural Maine that is larger than Connecticut and includes eight of Maine's 16 counties, geographically covering 68% of the state, although the population in that area is less than in the remaining 32%. Online, the BDN has readership throughout the state. The BDN publishes online throughout the day, seven days a week, and in print six days a week. In its history, the BDN has only failed to publish once: on December 30, 1962, after an unexpected blizzard buried Bangor under five feet of snow. Numbers from online analytics firm Compete.com show the paper's website gets nearly 300,000 unique visitors per month, making it the largest news site in the state." SOURCE

We think it's a great opportunity to further educate the public about the issues important to Maine Hunting & Sporting Dog Owners as a blog hosted by Bangor Daily News
