What you couldn't find anything better to shoot up there??? WOW nice one.polebreaker who is going to spend another weekend trying to see something other than baldy's
A friend invited me to his familys camp in Maine this year for the week of thanksgiving. After hunting the first two weeks in northern new hampshire and seeing only baldys I was ready for a change.
We got to camp on sat. the 21st around noon headed right out to hunt the afternoon. I still hunted a pretty steep ridge and coming down the other side i jumped a doe. I looked around and found a nice buck track in the mud. I ended up coming out on another road at dark and could smell a Buck not 50 yards off the road! Anyways could not hunt Maine on sunday so i headed back in there monday the 23rd. Got out of my truck first thing and had deer blowing at me up on the same ridge. Ended up making a big wide circle on the ridge and was walking down the same skid road as on sat when i looked down towards where I had smelled the buck 2 days earlier, There he Was!! Anyways 7 shots later I had him on the ground 194 Lbs. 100 yard drag to the truck!
Hey, thanks a million. Way to throw the lead with the lever. I just poured out a little Sammy Winter Lager for that tough buck. Let it snow....up at 5 ready to let the smoke fly out of the .50
