    Rick is an absolute master at his craft! One heck of an achievement. Another beautiful day on the track with a perfect ending. Congrats on a great buck Rick! Looking forward to breaking the 200lb mark for the first time, one day soon!

    Great buck Rick!!! Clearly one of the most successful deer hunters in the Northeast!!!! I don’t like these labels best deer hunter ever but for the way your hunting and where you live I would think it safe to say there’s nobody better. There’s a few equals but nobody better!!!!

    How sweet it is to be able go track ‘em, with the Maine locals, and not get cold and wet feet, doing it. Haven’t hunted Maine in years, but these videos, sure put fire under my azz. Thanks for getting my pulse an awakening. Amazing video quality

    You hit a home run with this video. Very impressed with the way you told the story, the quality of the video - every aspect of it. Amazing how it came together - you even got the kill shot. I’m sure there was a lot of time spent on editing etc making it a top notch watch. Rick’s a natural story teller who knows the things to include to keep it informative and entertaining through out.

    Nice job Rick on your hunt...You always make it an adventure. I just love North woods. There's truly nothing like it hunting in the Big Woods of Northern Maine and Canada. That's what it's all about. Love your videos too Rick. Thank you for sharing your adventures. I've learned a lot from you and the Benoit's.😊

    "He's a slammah for sure!" I just love that accent. I grew up in Maine. But I met a girl and she's worked on making me lose it for coming up on 30 years now. It still comes out after a few beers though 😂. Congratulations on a heck of an animal.

    Great hunting. Nice to see someone who hunts the way it should be. Recognizing tracks, observant of what the animal is eating, stalking til it is found and making a good shot within range. Very well done sir and good on you. Now that’s real hunting skill. Not plugging away at 500, 700 or 900 yards like other UA-cam “hunters” do.

      I appreciate the fact that you know the work is done! Most people shoot a buck like that and rush to get it out!
      Obviously you’ve had more of those days than most. Appreciate the animal and the day! That’s what tracking is all about! The kill is the smallest part of the experience!👍🏻👍🏻

    Great video. Not so much music- just the way it really is. Gutting the deer then having a sandwich next to the pile is classic. I hunted northwest Maine 1988-2018 and got a few but not nearly as successful as you are. I love learning more from the pros. Im only 63 and still love deer hunting best. Maybe a few more northern hunts in the snow before I call it quits for the big woods

    I guess it’s just where you’re from but I’m in Idaho and nobody Ive ever known in my 50 years of hunting has ever really cared about how much the buck they got weighs.
    I guess if you can’t brag about the size of the rack, you can claim it weighs 200 lbs. and have something to brag about.
