Everyone wants to live on the Seacoast. And who can blame longtime city dwellers, newlyweds, retirees, or recent college graduates for wanting to plant down roots here?

Steve Robinson, editor-in-chief of The Main Wire, discusses the issue of the Chinese mafia taking over Maine through illegal marijuana cultivation and trafficking. He explains that a leaked memo from the Department of Homeland Security revealed the presence of 270 Chinese mafia sites in Maine. Robinson and his team have identified over 300 of these sites and have been instrumental in exposing the criminal conspiracy. However, the issue has not received widespread national attention, possibly due to the reluctance of law enforcement and politicians to acknowledge the involvement of Chinese individuals. Robinson also highlights the fear and lack of courage among Mainers in speaking out against the corrupt government and the cultural problem it poses.

This Day in Maine for Tuesday, June 18th, 2024.

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.

Filling in for Howie is Maine man Aaron Chadbourne, who comes in swinging at Speaker Mike Johnson as he does his network news tours. Aaron points to one particular interview with CNN's Jake Tapper where Johnson is starting to sound more and more centrist by the day.
