  • Whitetail deer tracker Rick Labbe of Big Woods Bucks gets on a big buck track in the third week of the 2021 rifle season. It's a buck he's tracked before, and even shot at the previous year. The only question is whether he can catch up to it before time runs out on the season.

Worked for a large forest management company for 5 years and was stationed up to Comstock camps for awhile and lived and worked downeast in Princeton for a few years as well. Great teaching and looked like a good few days on the track. Tree stands just arnt for me, no matter how well they work. Love that old Toyota too! Keep after it! Hope to get back up there this year.

      @bigwoodsbucks1  2 роки тому +3

      Good question. Every hunter has their own style. I’ve observed (and Rick said as much on the podcast with Lanny Benoit) that Rick goes very fast, at the cost of jumping the buck more, but is rewarded with more opportunities for a shot. Some go slower and err on the side of the “death creep” when they think they’re going to get an opportunity, and are rewarded with a shot at the buck in its bed. Mark Scheeren, for example, has more of this style. - Brian
