For Manny Pettengill, becoming a Maine guide was almost a family expectation.A third-generation guide, Manny grew up surrounded by people who made their living in the Maine woods. His mother, grandparents, uncles, and cousins have all carried guide licenses, and at 18, Manny followed the same path by earning his own license and beginning to guide alongside the people who had been teaching him since he was a kid.In this episode of Through the Eyes of a Maine Guide, Brandon Lane sits down with Manny to talk about growing up in a guiding family, learning from his grandfather and uncles, and finding his own place in a tradition that stretches back decades.They swap stories from bear and moose camps, talk about the pressure that comes with putting clients on game, lessons learned the hard way, and the little pieces of woods knowledge that are passed from one generation to the next.Check us out here:https://www.allagashguideservice.com#MaineGuide #MaineHunting #MaineOutdoors #NorthMaineWoods #HuntingPodcast #ThroughTheEyesOfAMaineGuide

Tim Farrar has been guiding and hunting Maine’s woods for more than four decades, and he has the stories to prove it.In Episode 20 of Through the Eyes of a Maine Guide, Brandon Lane sits down with Tim to talk about the early days of Maine bear guiding, hunting with hounds, learning from good dogs, close encounters with wounded bears, changing expectations around trophy hunting, and the lessons that can only come from a lifetime spent in the woods.However, underneath the hunting stories is a bigger conversation about what makes a successful guided hunt. As Tim puts it, the harvest is only part of the experience. A good guide gives his clients everything he has and makes sure they leave with a hunt they’ll remember whether they fill a tag or not.They also get into bear hunting, coyotes, dog training, Maine’s changing wildlife, hunting ethics, and plenty of stories from more than 40 years behind the dogs.#MaineGuide #MaineHunting #BearHunting #HoundHunting #MaineOutdoors #ThroughTheEyesOfAMaineGuide
