Started a thread a month or so ago asking about tough hikes and better hunts on the Avintaquin. I took yall's advice. I found the nastiest area to hike to the top of, then dropped down into the most remote bowl I could find without any known trails in the area (I use the term remote lightly!).... and I found them! Not Monsters but not bad for Avintaquin general season bucks. Hope they're still around in a few more weeks.

That is the exact same group of bucks we are watching, and plan to hunt..dang!


Ok, kidding, good luck.
 
I grew up hunting the Avintaquin area. It is sad to see what has become of that herd, given we always saw cranker bucks, back in the day. But yes, those deep nasty canyons have to hide a few decent bucks. Best of luck in the pumpkin patch.
 
Littlebig, I was to young to hunt the hey days of the viny’s, but I do remember being a part of it with my grandpa... he killed some smoker bucks in those days...
