Default RE: Maine hunting

hello phil i have hunted the haynes ville area . i have been down too danforth and near million dollar view, lincoln is a good area too on the old rt 2 i have my land off of rt 2 and hodgdon rd area

I was reading over this and was thinking you maybe covering to much of an area. What I like to do is find an area that has some pretty decent deer sign. Then I would try to locate some hardwood ridges to watch over. Most all of Maine deer like the hardwoods. The nuts of the beech trees and oak if they have them are magnets to deer. That helps to build body mass for the long winter ahead. I preffer to hunt them after or during a lite rain. As it is quiter and deer will lay in them to dry off. They are also more apt to be moving in the middle of they daytime then. I have shot roughly 90 percent of my deer from 10:00 to 1:00 in the hardwoods. If you are ever over this way let me know and if I have time off from work I will try to help you out a little. I am located about 1 hour south of Danforth. Good Luck to you.
