Guys thanks to one and all! I figured folks would get a kick out of the meat pole pictures...
It's funny to watch...everyone can be cold, wet,and tired but when a big buck comes in they will leave dinner and go back outside to help or watch with the weigh-in.
It's festive having lots of other hunters around.
powdr yes that is some of the Maine country the Benoits have hunted.There and over west to Rangely. You see that country with mountains and miles of unbroken timber,gives you an appreciation for how good those boys are to ferret a big buck from that country.
battue: Thanks and the shot is typical for that country (as you know). You have to shoot them right now because they will be gone and will not offer a better chance.
WCH: Thanks! It's a sharp contrast to Wyoming....you can't see as far! But both are great in their own ways.
Dink/1911: Everyone who loves to hunt deer deserves a Maine hunt! It is tough but it is some place special with great tradition. It's fun.
Charlie Fox trot: I think I'm gonna sew my patches on. Never did before, but at my age I figure I earned them now.
7mm/keystone/moosemike: Thanks!
Mike the problem with having too many rifles is you can only hunt with one at a time! I'm sure i could have made that shot with the 280.
