Maine WT

Shot one Nov.18 while he was attending a mid-afternoon party with several does. Big 8. In the Northeast U.S field dressed weight is also part of the story amongst hunters. Dressed out from esophagus to butt, junk included, at 226 lbs. Savage Weather Warrior/.308 Win/150 gr TSX/ 125 yards. Double lung, only one $5.00 bullet fired. Remote big woods in Aroostook County. This site is beyond me with regards to adding pics, otherwise I’d include a couple.

GT: I will PM you my email and you can send them to me to process and post, if you wish. I'd like to see that buck.

Thanks to Bill in Oregon for posting the pics for this old fool. The buck was about 125 yds out. In one of those openings toleft of rifle barrel image.
The two young “horses” were huge help for this old duffer when it came to dragging out about 400 yds.

What a Hoss! Looks like AR is having a pretty good deer season.

I want to spend Christmas in a Cabin in Wild Maine drinking hot buttered rum.

That thing is a freakin PIG.

Both body and antler size are pretty top-notch in my book!!!!

Well done, sir.

Some one once asked how do you like getting your game out of the woods.

The answer was and still is two 20 year olds.

That's dandy buck. Beautiful scenery, and a great buck does not get any better

Mark - You, I believe, know all too well the low deer densities in northern Maine. Been passing up lesser antlered bucks for a very long time. Here and in NW Ontario. I think I can cross a big antlered deer off my bucket list now. Been living in my head rent free for wayntoo long.

A hunting picture with the animal and no gun in the picture? Maybe this was just a photo shop.

- Dear Texas Photoshopper - I went out to my truck to go get help. Really didn’t feel like lugging that crowbar around anymore than I had too. Hence no gun in pictures.

Damn that looks cold!

Helluva buck, congratulations!

Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch...
