Controversial Maine Shed Hunter MOOSEMAN DREW - The Battle Between Obsessive Drive and Ethics Hunt Suburbia Podcast

Mooseman Drew is a controversial newcomer to the Maine moose shed hunting scene. He has gained a good following on social media with many supporters, but he has also made a lot of enemies along the way. Many lifelong Mainers reached out to me asking me to not give Drew a platform on the podcast, with allegations of how he has screwed them over in one way or another, crossed ethical boundaries, and used his social media platforms to engage in unnecessary drama. I am someone who likes to hear people out, and who believes in educating new hunters in the ways of our ancient hunting traditions and I believed having him on would be a great teaching moment for him and others who are just now finding the great joys and rewards that come with being in wild places. Some people allege that he is engaging in spot stealing, he is untrustworthy, and he is letting his obsession with finding antlers overcome his ethics, burning bridges with people who once trusted him and mentored him. Plenty of others don't see it that way, and feel that he has every right to shed hunt the public or publicly accessible (private lands open to anyone) even if someone else brought him there first. It is my hope that this discussion has helped Mooseman Drew understand the ethical boundaries and unwritten rules between hunters and that he will think about ways to feed his obsession without burning bridges and crossing ethical lines.
