Vic Maccallum
Vic Maccallum retired from the Maryland Natural Resources Police in 2008 after a 21 year career in the Safety Education Division. Vic spent his first 3 years developing and implementing the country's first mandatory boating education program and 18 years as Hunter Education Coordinator. Vic moved to the woods of Maine with his wife Barb and 4 Pomeranians. They built a home on 15 acres and Vic quickly found himself employed as a Recreation Safety Coordinator for the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife. He now coordinates seven safety programs in two counties and assists with the Outdoor Ethics Program which is a course for those involved in serious violations of the Fish and Game laws. Vic sometimes takes his gun for a walk in the woods, usually during deer season; however, his passions are fishing and photography. He will continue to enter the Maine Moose Lottery until he gets drawn or too old to
fill out the application.

There is a saying, "You can take the girl out of the country, but you can't take the country out of the girl." For me, that couldn't be any truer! As a young girl, my stepfather was an avid bow hunter. Through my teen years, my mother [Donna Fisher] worked as the designer for a number of outdoor related magazines. Now, as an adult, I decided to return to the outdoor world the best way I knew how, head first! With the loving support of my husband Eric and our five year old son Austin, I contacted Allan and asked if he could help me. Allan is now my mentor and I am an enthusiastic hunter and the newest member of the Ellis Outdoors Team as the "Social Media Coordinator".

He is usually the last man seated at the table when there is a pile of steamed crabs, and he believes a soft crab is better served on a sandwich than on a hook.
