The Greatest

[Milldawg]

Just once I’m going to snow track a deer if it ever snows enough down here lol!

I used to have a Benoit brothers DVD, good info about tracking and shooting running deer, and entertaining, too.

On a smaller scale -- typically, smaller deer and definitely much smaller woods -- I like to snow-track once in a while just to break up the usual trail-watching and still-hunting. I almost always run into a property line I can't cross before I ever see a deer, but it's always interesting when you really start paying close attention to tracks like that.

Subject: Great Hunters

Great story about great hunters. Check out the stock on Larry Benoits' Remington 760, 30-06.In the Adirondacks there was a group of Lumber Co. employees who practiced Larry's method of tracking big deer. All year they would find a track and run after it until the saw the deer. Adirondacks is not noted for high % of success but they are noted for 300lb deer and that is what they got.
I have a few books on the Benoits and they are really the top of the hunt.
