Great story!  Thanks for sharing with us.  5 years is a long wait.  I love the stalking job you put on this one.

Bill has said it before, and those of you that know me have heard me say it too.......Jon has it right when he says NH and Maine are very difficult places to hunt for and kill deer. Deer density here is not high, we typically kill around 11,000 deer a year here. That's 11,000 total with all weapons, which includes a month long rifle season and a 10 day muzzleloader season which normally falls into the middle of the rut. Our bow season is three months long, and is included in the various gun seasons.
That makes killing deer here with traditional gear all the more impressive.......congrats again Todd!

Nice photo honoring the deer and the bow. That bow is very striking! Well done all the way around.

Exceptional job thinking on your feet, err knees.  Great job.  I missed the draw weight of the bow, but the no mercy did its job on the scapula after breaking a rib on entry.  nOt that I disagree with more over all weight.
The season gave him perfect mornings, hunter's moons and fields of freedom found only by walking them with a predator's stride.

Bowbird has some nice pics of some really big bucks on his trail cameras. I keep waiting for a call from him to help in tracking one of these big boys. If  he gets one he'll be immediately famous. Big deer are few and far between in NH...deer in general are. I am hoping he gets the timing right on one of his big boys. The rut is coming...stand by.

Gerald,
  Thanks and you're correct about the moose video. My (probable) once in a life time moose hunt and a video of it to boot! What a week hunting with Eldon Jandreau! Highly recommend it if you're looking to do it.
