Maine grows some true monsters. It's interesting--I follow the harvest pretty carefully on multiple forums--starting with the expanded archery folks and our youth and residents only opening days for firearms have already happened. It's striking to me the lack of 300 or more pound monsters that have not been taken compared to the posts I saw for this time last year.was worth the guess, I have been to Orono and seen the deer there near the college..
Tell your daughter not to be discouraged--I started hunting 6 years ago and have only tagged one doe in all that time--and she was limping.I dont put out trail cameras but I did notice some good sign in my usual hunting area, took my granddaughter out for youth weekend this past Saturday but no sightings, she was a bit discouraged being just 12 and the worse part is I took her last year to the same spot and she shot a 4 point at 7:30 opening day. She sat Saturday but didnt want to go again on Sunday, didnt force the issue but I did explain things to her about NH deer hunting, you dont see em every outing, sometimes can be many outings before seeing any..
