Featured Buck of the Month

Featured buck of the month was created not only to congratulate hunters on their accomplishment but to be able to share experiences they have encountered leading up to their kill. Our belief is that a hunter never stops learning about whitetails and the pursuit of mastering the "art of hunting" is a life long quest. By sharing your experiences, it just might help a fellow hunter get the edge on that square toed buck they are chasing. It might afford them the chance they have been waiting for and beat him on his own turf at his own game. Criteria for selecting the buck of the month is not based solely on the size of the buck but the experiences and lessons the hunter had leading up to their kill.

Featured Buck of the Month

01

Robert Sanborn, age 15

This month's selection is Robert Sanborn from the state of Maine. He is a 15 year old avid hunter and in his own words, killed his "first good buck'. It was a 6 pointer and it weighed 160lbs. His mother Gina told us he got his first grand slam for Maine, a turkey, moose, bear, deer and plenty of coon this year. In New Hampshire he has killed a bear and a deer this year. WOW! That's a pretty exciting season. Sounds like Robert is already quite a hunter and he is only 15 years old. Well congratulations to you Robert and remember persistence, consistency, luck and enjoying the outdoors are what it is all about.

My name is Robert Sanborn and I am 15 years old. My Dad and I were on our third day of hunting in the N.H. rifle season. We were headed back into the woods after the big one. The first couple of days didn't bring us any luck. We headed where we thought there would be some snow, but come to find out there was none. We headed up onto the mountain to see what we could find. At about 8:15 a.m. we spotted a buck taking off through some thick stuff. I got a shot off and come to find out I had missed. My Dad and I took up his track and a few minutes later saw that he did not run far before starting to walk. We followed him for probably ten minutes on bare ground. He brought us to a big ravine. As I was looking down through I spotted him! He was about 25 yards away. I drew my 30-06 to my shoulder and dialed in on him and let one sound off. The buck took off and I fired again to put him down. We got him out and on to the scale. He was a 6 pointer weighing 160 lbs. I was very happy with this buck as it is my first good buck.
