Where are the Benoits?
I don't seem to hear anything about the Benoit's anymore. To me, they were the real deal as I was growing up.Stalking and tracking of some great Big Woods bucks is what they were about.I still have my signed, by Larry, original copy (1974)of "How To Bag The Biggest Buck Of Your Life".I think it's worth a few dollars!
I also have their two newer books. What's up with the Benoits?

They are still around, filming their hunts now. I think they are up to volume 3 now. Each one has multiple hunting seaons on it. Check out their website. www.benoitsbigbucks.com

RE: Where are the Benoits?
IMHO, The Benoits are truly the best deer hunters in North America.
Itr's all fair chase, deep woods hunting in northern New England.
I have a few of their videos from recent years and watching how they hunt is amazing. They also take the time to explain what they are doing, why they are doing it and what they expect from it.
If your hunting style is cutting a fresh track, especially in the snow, then I highly recommend checking them out.

RE: Where are the Benoits?
I think you guys need to take a serious look at their videos and see how unethical these guys are. To advocate making deer run before you shoot at them to "make deer hunting more challenging" Or to take 4 shots at a running buck after you bent your sight....."I had to compensate because I fell and bent my sight while tracking this buck."
Sorry guys, but they are extremely unethical and the last people I would call "the greatest deer hunters in North America." These guys are laughable.
Its pretty bad when a game warden tells me they have to keep an eye on them.

Great hunters for sure. No tree-standers... they hoof it on fresh tracks through the big woods. I think Larry is slowing down a bit but still hanging in there. All the kids / grandkids are now taking up the slack. Good luck to them.

RE: Where are the Benoits?
They are highly skilled for sure but leave something to be desired in the ethics department. It seems wherevever they go they have a following, must have been half the state of vermont in NW Ontario this year.
