Well, my friend Mark Timothy Thomas, has been locked out of his home and 400 acres of forestland located in the North Maine Woods now for 315 days, with no end in sight. He was banned FOR LIFE for doing NOTHING. His Maine Criminal History Report is clean, save for two misdemeanors 7 years ago. He has not had a wildlife violation in the past 35 years. Mr. Bill Greaves, Executive Director of Maine North Woods, Inc., banned Mark FOR LIFE because a Game Warden got mad when a judge dismissed a trespass charge against him. Mr. Thomas had been given a key to the gate, had been given verbal permission to enter, and had been forwarded an email permiting him to enter the property. The Game Warden cited him anyway, and the judge promptly dismissed the case. I have investigated over 300 cases during my 50-year career, and I am a meticulous investigator. I have worked on this case virtually every day for the past 4 months. What I have uncovered is clear evidence that some hunters had been targeted by Game Wardens for "enhanced scrutiny." They are notified by the Gate Employees when they enter the North Maine Woods, and they are surveilled, probably electronically (hidden cameras, airplanes, and drones) and their every move is tracked. It is possible that they are placing air tags on their vehicles. The Wardens have discriminated and harrassed them continuously. They have repeatedly cited them for violations which they clearly did not commit, based on the Wardens own investigations. I wondered why were they concentrating on certain individuals, and the pattern of harrassment is clear. Then I started receiving calls, emails, and texts from other hunters that have been unfairly targeted, and from comments from my last post. All the hunters had one thing in common, they were small nonindustrial private forest landowners (NIPFL's). It appears that the North Woods Association LLC, Maine Warden Service, Timber Management Companies (Wagner, Huber, American Forest Management Corp., etc.), and large investment land owners (Like the Buck Family), are colluding in order to force small NIPFL's to sell their land at discounted prices. The term "Cesspool of Corruption" has been used over and over to describe their activities. Peter Buck's net worth was reported to be $1.7 Billion dollars, and his heirs now own 1.32 million acres, mostly in the Maine North Woods. They are listed as the 7th largest landowner in America. They recently sold Subway Resturant chain for over $9 billion. Are they so greedy that they need to steal Mark's land? Have they told their land management group to consolidate their holdings by any means? Are these allegations true? Is the Warden Service corrupt or is only a handfull of Game Wardens in the North Maine Woods who are engaging in this behavior? If you are a NIPFL in the North Maine Woods and feel that you have been treated unfairly or if you are a hunter that has been harrassed by Maine Game Wardens please send me a PM or text, or call me. We have proven that they have broken numerous Maine State laws, and if these allegations are true, then Federal anti-discrimination laws may also have been broken. Mr. Thomas has asked for a 24-hour stay so he can travel to his home and land without being arrested, handcuffed, and jailed, in order to perform annual maintenance on his home, which they have denied. His financial loss from Mr. Greave's actions are approaching $250,000. We have sent in documents that prove that the Game Warden was lying and withholding exculpatory information, and relaying false acusations against Mark. WAGM and WABI have now picked up the story, and we are fielding calls from National press sources now, as well as other interested National entities. The time to settle this matter amicably is now short. If someone on the Board of the North Woods Association LLC could take 10 minutes out of their busy schedules to give me or Mark a call, we still have time to settle this. You have violated Mark's constitutional rights, private property rights, and human rights. I will continue to investigate this matter every day until a satisfactory outcome is reached, and Mark can again travel to his land with his 2 teenage boys as he and his Dad have done for the past 50 years. Have a good day.

Maine North Woods Association Bans Hunter From His Own Property and Home.
On November 18, 2025, Executive Director Bill Greaves, banned Mark Timothy Thomas from entering his property and home located in the North Woods of Maine. He threatened him with arrest, handcuffs, and jail time if he tries to drive to his property. A NWA employee told Mr. Thomas that the only way he could access his property is by helicopter, and laughed in his face. He has not been to his land or home now for almost a year, during which time Mr. Greaves has never returned a single phone call to discuss the matter. Nor has Mr. Greaves reviewed the correct, factual documents pertaining to this matter. He has refused to conduct due diligence, refused to conduct due process, and has violated Mark's constitutional rights. He has also failed to inform his Board of Directors about the matter. So, what evil crimes did Mr. Thomas commit to get a LIFETIME BAN? I have the Criminal History Record from the State of Maine in front of me (Transaction Response ). In the 50 years that Mr. Thomas has been hunting, hiking, fishing and enjoying his land, he has been convicted of TWO MISDEMEANOR CHARGES, and ZERO wildlife offenses. That's it! All within the past 5 years. So, I investigated both incidents and this is what I have found. In the first incident, Mark picked up a 6' section of logging debris, left over after a clearcut, because it had a small burl on it that looked like a man's head, and he thought it would look cool in front of his home. The game warden asked his brother to place a value on it, which he did at $2,500-$3,000. This gave the warden the ability to charge Mr. Thomas with Felony Theft. The warden manipulated the evidence in order to charge Mr. Thomas with a FELONY. I reviewed 7 wood working sites that sell burls. A burl of this size would average around $67, if it was dried, contained no bark inclusions or rotted voids. Green burls (30-50 pounds) typically sell for around $25. So, the Warden manipulated the evidence, and increased the value by 45 times to 120 times the actual value. And then submitted the fruadulent evidence to the Court, which promptly threw it out and dismissed it. The Warden then charged Mr. Thomas with misdemeanor theft. In the second incident, Mr. Thomas was given a key to a gate, and was given permission to enter the property to put up game cameras by the landowners agent. The Maine Game Warden charged him with trespassing, even though he was given the key and permission. THOSE ARE HIS ONLY TWO VIOLATIONS, AND ZERO WILDLIFE VIOLATIONS. So, why did the North Woods Association ban Mr. Thomas FOR LIFE from his property and home and North Woods? It seems that a Game Warden approched Mr. Greaves, and gave him intentionally invalid and misleading information, and withheld exculpatory evidence. We have obtained 42 pages of correspondence via the FOIA (Freedom of Information Act) and a legal analysis clearly reveals that the Game Warden violated a minimum of three (3) state laws. I will be contacting the Active Commissioner, Tim Peabody, of the Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife, and will be requesting a formal investigation of the Game Wardens dishonest, unethical, and unlawful activities in this matter. If he does not consent to an internal investigation, I will hire an independent private investigator and submit their report to the Attorney General if unlawful activity is found. I have been asked why I have become involved in this matter. My name is Mark Wilson Thomas, and Mark Timothy Thomas is a fellow Wildlife Biologist, and is a friend of mine. He called me a couple of months ago and asked if I would help him with this matter. I don't have many friends, and I cherish the ones that I do have, and I will help Mr. Thomas until we get the North Woods Association to reevaluate the factual information about this case, not the lies that they were told by a Game Warden that has a vitriolic hatred for Mr. Thomas. The Maine Game Warden Service and the North Woods Association have treated Mr. Thomas LIKE DIRT! They have banned him from his own land and home now for almost a full year. He has been lied about, evidence has been falsified, charges have been leveled that were not justified, he has been liabled, slandered, and prevented from enjoying his home and property. He has been repeatedly accused of commiting crimes by the Game Warden(s) and even Mr. Greaves, who recently publicly stated that Mr. Thomas was responsible for an arson, in front of witnesses. He has been treated in a discriminatory and prejudiced manner. Mr. Thomas and I have developed a strategy consisting of 6 seperate elements that are intended to sway the North Woods Association to reevaluate the factual information pertaining to this case. Neither Mr. Greaves nor the Board of Directors will return phone calls, so we have to hash this out in Social Media now. Today, it is a regional discussion, next Friday at 2:00 pm CST it will become a national story. The last element will be a National Boycott of Subway Sandwich Shops, which is owned by the Buck Family, who also owns the land that Mr. Thomas has to travel through to reach his property and home. If the North Woods Association will not communciate with us, perhaps the Buck Family will give us a call. Or, this could be solved in a ten minute phone call. Regardless, if you think that this matter will just go away if you continue to hide behind your desk, you better think again. Mr. Greaves failed to conduct due diligence, which is a legal requirement, he failed to conduct due process. At this point, Mr. Greaves still does not even know that Mr. Thomas owns almost 400 acres and a home in the North Woods, and during the first week of September, 2026, he was frantically calling people trying to find out if Mr. Thomas owned land. He should have done this 11 months ago. We have sent him the deed with Mark's name on it TWICE! He should have pulled Mark's Criminal History Report 11 months ago and he would have known that the Game Warden was lying to him. He should read the Comprehensive Legal Memorandum detailing the illegal actions of the Game Warden. IT'S YOUR DAMNED JOB! RETURNING PHONE CALLS IS YOUR DANMED JOB! Have a good day. Note: If anyone on the Board of Directors of the Maine North Woods Association wants to receive the documents I referred to, please contact me and I'll promptly send you a packet.

I will be providing an update to this post shortly.

What ever happened to the QDMA? By Mark Thomas, Former 17 year member National Board of Directors, Former Chairman of the National Board of Directors. Well, it's been 5 years since the QDMA was rebranded NDA by Joe Hamilton and the Board of Directors, and I thought it might be time to evaluate the name/mission change and list the facts. The rebrand changing the name to NDA occured in 2020, what happened as a result during the past five years? When I was Chairman, we (QDMA) had 64,360 members, the NDA currently shows 6,823 (2023 Financial Report). Of the 6,823, around 2,000 were original QDMA members, while 4,823 were new to the NDA. So, they lost approximately 62,360 of the original members,or 97%. This is down 19% from the 8,162 members reported in 2022. They no longer list number of members in their 2024 and 2025 financial reports, and instead hide the number by combining it with "member donations". It will take them over 68 years, at this rate of "growth" to reach the high point of the former organization. They sold the beautiful National Office building, sold the warehouse, and sold the land. They destroyed the legacy of the largest single donation in their history, and destroyed the legacy of Frank Coggins, who donated the land. They destroyed most of their Branches (they had over 200 when I was Chair), and only have 2 Branches left in Michigan, and only 1 left in Indiana. They only held 8 Banquets in 2023 (Whitetails Unlimited held over 240). They terminated the Rack Pack youth organization, terminated the National Convention, terminated the Quality Whitetails Magazine, had already terminated the QDMA Forum and Quality Whitetails TV. At this point there is nothing left. They even replaced the foundational philosophy QDM, and replaced it with BBD (Button Buck Down). I begged them not to change the name, and wrote dozens of memos and had dozens of meetings, trying to get them to reconsider, and I was voted off the Board for my opposition. I was the only Board member voted off in the 32 year run, and I consider it a badge of honor. Their own market research did not support a name change, and the cost of almost $1 million was excessive, and caused undue financial hardship. I warned them that another economic recession was pending, and they should not spend the funds. I told them the members would not support it and would quit, I told them that the idea had no merit from a business perspective and was unnecessary. I was never given a single reason for changing the name/mission. Then, right after the name change was made official, the NDA made a statement "It's time for all deer hunters to come together and fight climate change", and WHAM, it hit me! The rebrand was just another attempt to push the WOKE agenda on a group of individuals. Joe Hamilton and the Board changed the name and mission of the QDMA in order to promote the same WOKE progressive political agenda that destroyed Bud Light and Cracker Barrel. It's no skin off my back, and I do not feel bad for them. I'm sorry for Joe Hamilton, the man that created the best Whitetail Deer organization in America also is responsible for destroying what he created. I have been completely vindicated, and everything I told them has come to pass. The QDMA was turned into the "Bubba Gump Brown and Down Redneck Deer Hunting Club", where all hunters must come together to fight global warming, and QDM was replaced with BBD (Button Buck Down). When the QDMA was created in 1988, it was run out of some guys spare bedroom, and today, almost 40 years later, it's run by some guy out of his spare bedroom. Ashes to Ashes, Dust to Dust. Perhaps Joe and the Board should have listened to me, and perhaps they voted the wrong person off the Board. Good Day.

I guess if you are not going to manage forests utilizing trained educated experienced professional foresters, jackasses are the next best thing!

Donkeys are helping reduce wildfire risk in Spain.

In and around Doñana National Park, groups of donkeys are used to graze on dry grass, shrubs, and other vegetation that can fuel fires. By clearing these materials daily, they create natural firebreaks in areas vulnerable to wildfires.

The approach is gaining attention as wildfires increase across parts of the country. Researchers and local groups say the donkeys’ steady grazing helps lower fire risk while supporting the surrounding ecosystem.

For those who utilize single tree injection, and cut-surface treatments, I made a custom box, holds 4 spray bottles. I carry imazapyr, 2 dilutions, 2,4-D, triclopyr ester (waxy species) glyphosate (2 dilutions). Hit ‘em as you pass by. Access time + process time. Costs a few cents per tree.
