hunting

Hey, I'm with ya on that!!! Maine is actually a very tough place to hunt from what I hear in CT. We have out of state ppl come to hunt our state forests from VT, NH, and ME b/c with all the land the deer are tough to find

Congrats he is an awesome looking buck

I spent all day yesterday deboning my buck and today we made Venison Jerky and Venison Breakfast sausage. The shot I took I had hardly any waste my husband was soooo happy

My 8 ptr last year I did some damage to the backstrap and he was a bit upset

I plan on going again once this hot spell calms down. Can't WAIT!!!

I love this forum too!

That's a nice buck! Where we hunt, that is usually what we see (or smaller)......The big ones are not that common anymore.

Nice job with your buck Beth! It is awesome to be able to help provide food like that. It is only part of it of course, but satisfying none the less, when you sit down and enjoy the venison that you worked hard for. Best wishes for your next hunting trip!​

Your soo right

We also love to share with friends and family so it's a good feeling.

Thanks!!

Thanks all for the nice comments. IMHO, anytime you get any deer with a bow it is exciting and special. And Beth, it is so true! Again, in my opinion, it is more of a challenge to hunt where there is a smaller deer population and more woods. You really have to do your homework with pre-season scouting, know their food sources at various times, where the water is, etc. But thats all part of the fun too! Best wishes to all of our BYC hunters.
