I have been hunting there on and off for 15 years and there are some really large bucks there. I got a big 250 lb 10 pointer a while ago, and my Nephew go a 250+ 10 pointer 3 years ago. The taxidermist told me he had one come in about three years ago that was as big and had a bigger rack. Based on the size of the tracks I have seen I would expect there to be some other really big bucks.

This about tracks weights for mature bucks in Maine,with a few nudging over 270 pounds dressed. Usually such bucks are killed before the 3rd or 4th week in November when they have lost weight from running does all month.

But the Maine record is a buck killed by Horace Hinkley and dressed 355 pounds,so sure...they can get that big!.

Lefty, your buck beats the Maine state record....that's a hell of a deer. Congrats and nice job with the tracking and shooting. That is not an easy way to kill one.




The 280 Remington is overbore.

The 7 Rem Mag is over bore.
