i guess you pple only read what you want to see anyways.if you would have read the whole story and listened to it and let it play in your numb little minds it was a feild road we have lots and lots of potatoe fields i that area and there are lots of grassy FEILD ROAD not **** paved road in maine it is totaly LEGAL to shoot from agricultural roads,(dirt road,grassy roads,field roads)ttotaly legal.man this site has really bummed me out man used to loved but some pple have one track minds.was reading the thread other day about wittaker shinning at 9 at night well it is illegal at 10 but it wasn't at ten but still you pple jumped all over his **** and don't take the full story in you wanna be supper hunters are actuaLLY WHATS KILLING OUR SPORT.atleast pple like me who now that they are ametures come in here and ask for advice not ridicule the beginnner.sorry if i'm babbleing but whoever looks at this thread there is two parts to it so please look harder and read the whole thing play it out and you will see that it was nothing illegal about anything

well i guess i should have taken the extra 20 mins to tell the wole story but had to get to work they can't hang wind mills without a crane operator.but anyways he did stand right there we got OUT of the truck(my wife and kids were dropping us off not a **** idiot).think it was just buck fever i don't know how much you pple know about maine but the population of bucks is really low so when you see one that big you can't believe it and he stood right there. don't really know if it was the head lights or not but it was a gloomy morning.we've been on another one in that area but not as nice a rack as this one.my friend and i also go to the range all the time but tell me if you take my rifle and shoot your gonna be as accurate with mine as yours and i know everyone has missed once in there life.just an example last yr i hit an 8 pointer 178 lbs with a 45-70 open sights exploded the heart 70% at 225 yrds so no target practice is gonna cure buck fever.sorry if i'm babbling but i'm by far not a poacher matter of fact i turned one in last wk,and would never break the fair chase rule the only thing i might of done wrong is two things one,should've thought to turn the truck off if the headlights were the cause of him just standing there,two,should'nt have let my buddy use my riffle i should have took the shot myself!!!!

saw the biggest buck i've ever seen.drove right to him.was driving up the field road to get in the stand wasn't even payin attention.then about 70 ft in front of us right in the woods line there he was starring at us gassed in the headlights(there automatic and it was daylight)and not moving an inch.we got out the 45-70 and fired it off only it didn't fire fumbled around with it and tryed two more times to fire would'nt fire.so we grabbed the 25-06 and my buddy fired with that(note that gun is mine and set for me not him).after the shot i was on him with my binos and he turned nonchalontly tail down and walked in the woods slowly.We searched for 6 hrs and couldn't fined him,and there was no blood trail what so ever.the woods were he is, is not that big.did we hit or did we miss.WHAT HAPPENED??????

ya i just bought a browning a bolt stainless stalker 25-06for my wife has a 249dollar maine veiw scope paid 800 for it.looked it up and still think i got a pretty good deal

got the 30-06 in that.love it as much as i do my browning maybe even a little more smooth. wouldn't trade it for anything even though it was a xmas gift from the wife.lol...a buddy says their cheep and he'd never own one and he won't even pick mine up at the range'cuz if he did he'd have a cheep gun to.lol..

hey hows your hunt been going.well for an ameture mine hasn't been that bad.my son got his first the other day.do you use calles or anything got any pointers.i live in houlton.not bad area for hunting

been trying the calling thing lately.bought the can for estrus and the grunt and weeze by primos.were i was shopping they said they were thr best.how do i know if im scaring them or not or doing it to much??my son and i got his first one the other day without anything but some home made hunting blind?can anyone tell me if or when to know if i'm doin the call to much.

ya my son just got his first buck last tuesday.he's ten and in maine you cant hunt till then.it was a small 8 point with both main beams broke off half way up.it wayed in at 167 no heart an liver.i'm so proud i know how u feel dad so congrates to you to keep the sport rollin dad.

i bought the wife a browning 25-06 stainless stalker for her first gun.Put a 250 dollar mainvue scope on it.Went to sight it in and couldn't even get a 3 inch group out of it.Took it back to the dealer and wanted to out it.The dealer took the time to go out with me and shoot.We found it was the lead not the gun.All you pros no that every gun and you really do matter so before you give up try a new grain cuz i now preferr her browning over my rem bm or my tc icon

recently purchased two new riffles.The first one was a browning 25-06 bought it for my wife nife riffle we both love it.Then i got the new mossberg 4x4 270 also nice riffle.Was target practiceing at an aquaintance house.When the 25-06 was brought out it was refferd to as a varmit gun,but they all couldn't take their hands off it.Are they both good for deer and big game such as elk and moose??????????

what are peoples opinion on hunting ranches and preserves.I got a chance to go hunt a red deer ranch for a good price>its only a doe but just want the meat hear it is exceptional.Was offered to bring someone along for the hunt.The person i asked was my neighbor and hes always trying to compete with the neighborhood earlly jealous disabled live for free kind of guy.I thought i was doing him a favor by asking him to come along for the experience.About an hour after i talked to him about it he went around the neighborhood telling people i was going to shoot a tamed animal in a cage which isnt the idea at all its a hunting preserve or outfitter whatever you want to call it.What are the real hunting worlds thought of these places???????????

are there any hunters in here from or ever hunted maine

what should i be looking for whats the best things to look for and what methods(blinds,stands,ect...) should i use and should i use some lures

i feel realy stupid aking for help but here it goes.First of all i live in maine were there are nice big scoreable whitetails.Was around it all my life and know the basics of hunting whitetails.Saturday is the opening season on firearm hunts,can anyone please offer me some info on how to go about harvesting a nice trophy.Remember i'm in maine the deer here are plentyful but bucks are 1buck to every 9 doe so its a little harder to be put on a nice mature buck.Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!!!
