Earlier this year I met an old timer from Maine and the topic of deer hunting and the Benoit's came up. He said he had lived in the same area and that they had a little 'outlaw' in them in the early years. When I asked him what he meant by 'outlaw', he referred to out-of-season kills, trespass kills and night shooting. He went on to say that they had to clean up their act since getting all the notoriety. The guy talked so matter-of-factly that it didn't appear to be sour grapes or envy. I didn't give the conversation a second thought until I read a recent article in D&DH re: Lanny Benoit being the best American deer hunter. Anybody out there know?
