Lorenda DayCoombs

 This month’s featured buck was shot by Lorenda DayCoombs from Southern Maine. I had the pleasure of meeting both her and her sister Janah at the 2010 Remington/Cedar Ridge bear hunt. From my experiences during that week I can tell you both are hunters, period. They have been hunting for the better part of their whole lives and they can shoot, stalk and kill anything they want. They are as dedicated to the sport as most of the fellow hunters I have met while working in this industry and I will be the first to admit I was impressed with their enthusiasm, commitment and accomplishments. I enjoyed hearing the stories of how their Dad took them out as children. Congratulations to their Dad for taking the time that he did with them. As they shared stories of their hunts during that week, I realized how strong of a bond they have with him because of the hunts they have shared throughout their lives. Lorenda’s 2009 big buck is yet another example of what persistence can do for you. She did not use the excuse of feeling a bit under the weather as a reason not to go out in the woods and it paid off. Apparently she is pretty stealthy in the woods as well because she killed that beautiful buck while stalking to her stand. The BWB team would like to congratulate Lorenda on an awesome big bodied Maine buck.
