Ryman Line English Setter Puppies

One of our regular guests has two litters of English setter puppies. As of Feb. 1, 2012, there are eight choices remaining. We have had the dams and sire in camp many times. They are good companions and able hunters. Puppies will be available March 20, 2012.

~ Featured Business March 2011~ Libby Camps is the grand sporting enterprise founded on Millinocket Lake by Matt Libby's grandfather, great uncle and great grand-father in 1890. Eight simple cabins, handcrafted from peeled spruce and fir logs, lit by propane lamps and heated by woodstoves, are situated just back from the water on a slight rise, the big bay windows of each staring squarely at the lake. A mixed woods of birches and pines has grown up all around them, and the cabins are well spaced for privacy. A network of trails connects to the lodge around which life at Libby's orbits. The lodge is a large, single-story building on posts, and like many of the structures at Libby's, it seems to have grown with the years. At the back is a broad porch with Adirondack chairs set before a majestic view of the water. A massive anchor, once used to hold the end of a logging boom in the days when timber was dragged across the lake, hangs from a rough-hewn cradle just off the porch. Inside the dining room, all glossy logs and pine floors, moose-rack chandeliers and stuffed and mounted wildlife. Trophy fish stare down from the walls with mouths agape, and there's a library filled with books on angling (Fly Fishing for Trout; Modern Fly Casting Method; Advanced Fly Casting; Knots and Connections). Over the last 120 years, fishing has become synonymous with Libby's, and famed angling outfitter Orvis endorses the camp. The Libby's employ four full-time guides and have ten more on call to lead sports after the brookies, lake trout and landlocked salmon that swim in the hundreds of lak es and ponds and streams in the area. And Matt's two floatplanes make the whole North Woods available to guest anglers. Unlike most other sporting camps in Maine, which have made attempts to appeal to families and nature lovers to help offset the decline that the fishing and hunting industries have seen in recent years, Matt Libby has no interest in changing his focus. The unofficial motto at Libby Camps is "Catch and Relax," and that's the way things will remain. Two of the 2010 Top Ten Biggest Bucks in Maine were taken by hunters who were staying at Libby Camps! John Hoffpauir of Brookline, NH - 246 lbs., 8 points, T8R9 John Sagl of E. Setauket, NY - 260 lbs., 10 points, T8R8

On January 17th Parker James Libby turned 1. He got his first airplane to ride and learn on.

Last weekend we snowmobiled into camp to cut the ice for the 2011 season. It was a great weekend and we completed the task in record time. With 23 people it took only 4 hours start to finish. (some of those people like Kayla (3) and Parker (1) helped the most) Thanks to all who helped continue the tradition.

Writer from the globe comes to Libbys to try his hand at Grouse and Woodcock hunting. December 5th Globe story highlights his trip to Libbys. Click here for the story. 

The last truck pulls out after a great deer season. Now just packing up, closing up and counting the days until the snow leaves.

Eric shoots this beauty at 1:30 Nov 24th. It was quite a story. Wind was blowing 20-40 mph and Eric was still hunting. The deer seemed oblivious to his movement once he found them. Weighed in at 206 with 18+ inch spread. Nice rugged rack. Better pictures coming when I can catch him back in the daylight. One more deer and his crew can go home. Happy Thanksgiving.

20" spread and 10 points. This young buck dressed out over 205 pounds today. Buck was chasing a doe when Brent brought him down. Congratulations. Our 6th buck over 200 dressed this fall.

Dan shot this beauty (52" and 870 #'s)in the October hunt with Guide Chuck Dionne. Now there was and is a happy man. Sorry we just got the field picture. 4 bulls taken for 4 hunters all over 50 inch spread!!!

Chris shot his first ever buck this morning, a smashing 10 point buck tipping the scales at 234. What a year for big bucks.!!!!

 

Tom Benson of Southwest Harbor Maine shot a nice 8 pt buck this morning weighing 211 pounds dressed.

With the rivers still too low to be productive, the ponds are picking up nicely. Here is Holt with a 15" beauty!
