2009 Hunting Season in Review

As expected, 2009 was full of challenges. The
depressed economy in the USA meant significantly less hunters
were making the trek up north to hunt. All the outfitters felt the
pinch......some more than others I am told. All
was not negative as the hunting hiatus enabled the deer herd to regain strength
and numbers. After a decade of full
capacity we felt fortunate, in some ways, to still operate at 30% capacity. Only
one hunter didn't pull the trigger as
he was very selective having shot 160+ class deer in the past.
Our clients were ecstatic to harvest very good bucks
with one in the mid 160's. Another buck with double forked brows scored in the
150's, his character made him nearly
impossible to pass up. First-time clients from Maine ( a husband and wife deer
hunting team) were thrilled to bag
very respectable 140 + class bucks. As usual, everyone had a great time, many
citing the hunt as
the-trip-of-a-lifetime.
