Hunting up here is tough. I live here in western Maine and can hunt all month in the afternoon. I have taken a buck every year since I was 16 (now29). But only a handful were wall hangers. I love to hunt deer. But I make sure to built a trip or two into my hunting year that will put me odds up of killing a trophy deer. I guide up here for bear and we have some of the best bear hunting in the country, now that might go down the road due to a vote. I will say that maine does still have plenty of public land in my area and the rougher the hunt the greater the rewards.
