We often hear the comment, “There’s a lot more to hunting than……”. Here’s an example of one of those something else. While in Maine on my annual hunting trip, I was pleasantly surprised to stumble upon an incredible stone wall in the middle of the forest. I have hunted this general area before and done recall coming across this piece of man’s art before.

For those who have never spent time in the Maine woods, these stone walls are remnants of the days when early settlers cut timber to make fields. They picked up the stones, sometimes bigger than a team of horses could handle, and piled them in rows. These rows served several purposes. They often marked a property boundary line, delineated a field or was used to separate livestock etc.
