Blue Hill group could gate property after target practice violation

BANGOR DAILY NEWS • January 22, 2025

A Hancock County land trust may gate property where people have traditionally hunted, the trust said on social media Wednesday. The Blue Hill Heritage Trust said the gate would limit vehicle access to the group’s Wallamatogus Mountain property, where people who were target practicing with clay pigeons and recreational hikers clashed on Jan. 16 over use of the property. The trust allows hunting with permission on most of its land parcels, but target practicing of any kind is explicitly prohibited.
