Maine report

[buckmanjr]

talked to to my dad the other day with a report maine, He said he saw 2 does, a buck that he didnt get a shot on. My dad called this morning to say that his freind tommy shot a nice buck, i was a sleep, so i dont have any details. Its toms first buck (ever), he has been hunting for 10+ years, he just has no luck! lol. So they spent the day yesterday dragging the big boy out. I will give details when i talk to him today.

My dad just got home from maine. It rained every single day up there, except the day they got the deer. It was also 67* when they left the camp this Morning. Not the best weather, but they had fun. Heres some pics.

Just called my dad. heres the story i got....

They hiked into a very remote location called satell pond, VERY long hike. My dad set tommy up on a location where he knows they cross, not ten minutes later my dad hears a shot. tommy shot a big 6 pointer, 175 dressed. As they were guting this deer out, they here snorting, so my dad gets up with his gun, and goes within 50 yards of them, 2 does walk out, but the buck stayed in, so he never got a shot off. They are going to go into the same area monday.
I might go up there this week for the last 4 days.

I forgot to mention it took 6 1/2 hours to drag this back to the truck!

Tell Tommy congrats on a successful hunt. BTW they must have been extremely exhausted 6.5 hrs yikes.

[buckmanjr]

2 mile drag, It must have been a pain! lol, glad i wasnt there. It was an old buck, just didnt have the last 2 points. Nice heavy rack though.

Awesome, really great pic's to bad about the rain. But in the end they went, they saw, and they got the job done. That is what matters I have heard about some others guys who haven't been so lucky this year in Maine. Congrats to your Dad, Tommy, and the rest of their group.
