You are correct ....... Most deer are not that big here in NB but this fellow lived a solitary life deep in the big woods. He was caught crossing a narrow woods trail that I was watching. I'm not a serious deer hunter so no big story about my time spent in prep or hunting skills. I just happened to be in the right place at the right time and was quick enough to get a shot off before he crossed.

He caused quite a stir at the register station and in the small village where we registered him. He measured 21" across (inside) with 26" beam LHS and 23" beam RHS (broken tip).

I used the Benelli M4 shotgun with the field stock and power shok slug to take this guy on the 14 of Nov. This year. I was about 15 feet up in treestand he came from behind me at about 30-40 yards and after the shot he ran 30 feet and flopped down.

Good work on that ML deer. Those CVA Wolfs look like a great gun to get into the game with.
