Maine Hntr

good luck in Arkansas, sorry to hear about the lost buck, I had the same thing happen to me back in October. Ended up shooting a nice little 6 so I'll take it.

congrats Ruth, nice looking deer.

The video seems to get screwed up a little for me at around 1:45.. PS- you don't type with as much a Canadian accent as you have when you talk.. ?

cool looking buck Al, I like the flyer off his left side. Good Luck. I'm still at it until end of December, although I'll admit since I got my 6 a few weeks back I've slowed down a bit, don't have much time to hunt except the usual Saturday and the last two or so Saturday's here the weather has been miserable, not just heavy rain but winds as well. This coming doesn't look great either. I usually get out for a few sits around Christmas time, so I'm looking forward to that.

Beautiful Pics Dave. Quite the country out there!

Pretty cool Martin, although it doesn't look too easy! Reminds me of being a kid and using video game controllers to do special moves, A, B, B, A, CC Left Right, lol. I been watching videos on JD 1 and 2 series tractors as I see that in my future and find it fascinating the amount of equipment made and all their special uses and implements. Good luck, be safe.

Congrats Frank, what a year you've had!

same thing everywhere around here in Massachusetts William (no surprise), no toiletry/paper goods, haven't heard most recently about freezers but i know back in May, June, July Freezers were absolutely impossible to get your hands on, i already own a chest freezer and spare fridge and freezer but my parents shopped around everywhere at the time for chest freezers and they were backordered at the time for close to 3 months.. it's crazy, what are people doing with it all? Like you say, they've got to be hoarding it... PS- another reason i'm glad to be a hunter, rumors of grocery stores going to limited hours or closing up temporarily are swirling, knowing i've got a reserve of a few things is comforting.

Congrats Martin, nice tall basket rack on that guy. You guys sure have stacked on the points the last week or two.

Congrats huck, looks like a stud of a buck. Good length and mass.

Congrats Catrina, great looking deer. William, you sure have your hands full with 8’s down there.

pretty cool history with that deer Pat and on your home turf to boot. Congrats!

definitely laid down the blood trail for you.. congrats on the doe and meat in the freezer. Looks like a little funnel/pinch point there in that photo.

Got it done yesterday afternoon, had a lone 6 pointer come in only 45 minutes after climbing into stand, he offered about a 25 yard shot, mind you it's gun season here now so it was technically a chip shot. He died where he stood and made the drag easy as I was able to get back to the house and pick the wheeler up and haul him out that way. Glad to put one in the freezer early and still have quite a bit of time left back in Massachusetts to get it done. The weather has sure been unseasonably warm and I wasn't expecting to see much yesterday, let alone just before 3 in the afternoon, it was close to 60 but overcast skies and a slight drizzle which I'm thinking helped get him on his feet.

Got it done this afternoon in Maine, 1st deer taken off our property up here! Not a whole lot to the story, went out for an afternoon hunt with my dad, he decided to do a ground sit, I brought my climbing stand with me and chose to sit in a new location I've never sat before. Got in stand around 2:00, and just before 3 I could hear something off to my right heading out toward a clearing I was sitting on, he was slowly making his way right toward me, just a slow meander looking ahead every few seconds, he continued to come and ended up offering about a 25 yard shot and he dropped where he stood. Not a monster, but one I'm proud of and nice to break the ice up here.

I don't like it either, I think there are some seriously sick long term politicians that need to get gone, their motives are not for the greater good of America and it's citizens.

it's awfully quiet around here, either everyone is out hunting the rut, or hibernating from all of the recent election news.. ?

Cool video frank, not a clue you were there. I’ve been doing the same thing this year, when I’ve decided I’m going to pass the deer up I’ve been trying to get a quick video or photos. IMG_5528.MOV

Congrats Frank! Good to know you’re having fun!

I agree here. While I’m a supporter of trump, his policies and the parties policies in general, Trump is just too over the top for a lot of people’s liking, I think between his demeanor and the coronavirus blame being put on him, those two things really hurt him for Re-election. Although I don’t agree one bit about the virus. My 2 cents.. PS- it’s not technically over..

Crazy warm weather the next 4 or so days, low 70’s forecasted... I’ll be in a tree for a decent portion of it, hopefully the rutting will kick in to get them moving cause the weather sure isn’t helping! Good luck to all over the next couple weeks, the time we look forward to every year!

Definitely not a young deer.. any idea if that photo is even current? I feel I’ve seen that circulate in year past.

The bucks are starting to really move. Between last nights hunt and this mornings I saw 5-6 different bucks, mostly yearlings, a couple 2 year olds and one 3 year old 8 that I couldn’t get a shot at, fun couple of days though. I have this Thursday, Friday and Saturday off so I’m hoping to get it done.

A little October 30th snow here in the northeast. Hoping for some movement tonight. It’s a different scene out here with snow on trees that are still full of leaves.
