It features stories on hunting, fishing, wildlife, conservation and recreation, told by people who live these experiences. This section emphasizes hands-on knowledge, field reports, issues, trends and the traditions that define life outside in Maine.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bangordailynews.com\/outdoors\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Read more Outdoors stories here.<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Right now is a great time to set up trail cameras, whether you\u2019re preparing for hunting season or simply curious about what wildlife is passing through.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And who doesn\u2019t love seeing footage of a doe with her fawns?<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Benjamin Lacouette, an avid outdoorsman, bowhunter and owner of a wildlife removal and repair business, has about 15 WiseEye trail cameras in the Biddeford area of York County. One recently captured video of a doe with two fawns, one of which is piebald.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Piebald deer have a genetic mutation that causes some areas of their coat to lack pigment, creating distinctive white patches. While they aren\u2019t as rare as albino or leucistic deer, they\u2019re still uncommon in much of Maine, making sightings exciting for hunters and wildlife enthusiasts alike. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lacouette said he\u2019s seen only a few piebald deer over the years, despite spending so much time in the woods.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"OutdoorsThe BDN outdoors section brings readers into the woods, waters and wild places of Maine.
