I have hunted in Maine off and on for 20 yrs, about 9 hunting seasons, some along the coast and the rest just SW of Rangely. So far only two deer the first about 190lbs 8 points the second 2002 204lbs and 5points every year I have seen at least one deer but I havn't gotten many shots. I have hunted in weather from -20 to 60. In the big woods I have never had any luck with hunting from stands, the deer don't seem to set up in patterns like they do near farm lands. The only luck I have had even seeing them is by still-hunting or tracking
