This year's Buck & Doe contest has ended with a great season. Ninety-seven hunters entered the contest and forty-one hunters registered a deer. That is a very high percentage rate, much higher than than the statewide average. We can be proud. Congratulations to Captain EJ Varnum and his team with 23 deer and a total of 2993.6 pounds. They win! Matt Kusek and his team had a very respectable 18 deer and 2425.7 pounds. Congratulations to Spencer Berry for shooting the biggest Buck at 212 pounds. Congratulations to all hunters who registered a deer. Lastly, a very special congratulations to Bob Richard. Bob got a nice buck, and combined with his moose, bear, and turkey this year gives him the Grand Slam of hunting here in Maine. You're the MAN, Bob. Not bad for a 75 year old hunter. The banquet/supper is tentatively scheduled for January 24th, after the holidays. Everyone who entered the contest will get a notification in the mail with the results and banquet date.
