Maine deer season

Opening day was very windy. Saturday winds were gusting up to 40 mph, so nothing was moving. Tree stands were out of the question with such conditions.

One of the great things about hunting in Maine is that you can handgun hunt as well as hunt with suppressors.

A while back I had Gary thread a factory 10" 44 Magnum barrel for the Contender. I have a direct thread mount for a Silencerco Hybrid 46 M which also does double duty on an AR. I swapped endcaps for the caliber and mounted it.

At my little private range I am getting almost one hole groups at 50 yards with a Greendot sight by Ultradot( I know Gary hates electronic sights but here in the close range woods then are popular.)

Anyways. I sat in a good area where there is sign but other than some gray squirrels, nothing.

ON the way home on the side of the road I spotted several does feeding on the edge. It was on town owned land which by the way is open to hunting. There are a lot of niches when it comes to hunting in the northeast.
