He aint the biggest buck in Maine, but he'll fill the freezer nicely. 162# eight point with a kicker below the left brow tine.
He looks like a nice, nice deer. Looks healthy as heck from what I can tell. Congrats there LJ did ja hit him with that there carbine of yours?
Here's a link to my story, at Maine Hunting Today. Enjoy. http://www.mainehuntingtoday.com/magazine/articles/Hunting Camp/aint_life_great.html
The Raven is chambered in .308, this was its first hunt. The rifle I used before this one was a Rem. 7600 in 35 whelen, I just retired that one after I had the Benoit family autograph the stock.
I have used everything from a thirty-thirty to a 50BMG. I love an -06...and the 308 comes a very close second. But that was when I would kill my deer out to 250- 300 yards. Now I prefer the 25 yards or less range...that's the real challenge in my deer hunting. I transitioned from rifles to handguns ...now to the bow. But it's all about the love to hunt no matter how you equip yourself.
