- A day of tracking a buck on snow in the big woods of northern Maine. Hunting is a pursuit, tracking is the ultimate pursuit of a whitetail buck, I don't care if that hurts your feelings.

My feelings ain’t hurt at all….tracking a deer is absolutely the ultimate pursuit and has always been my favorite way to hunt deer ever since I read LB’s book back when I was in High School in the early 70’s. The older I get, the harder it becomes but I pray for a tracking snow every Deer Season. Keep after em Cody. The Lord shines on the persistent.
Thanks
Gotta love the comments from people who have never hunted in the big woods🙄. Great video. Keep after them.
😂
What comments? Why would anyone care?
That was awesome man enjoyed that video a lot. Great track job
Thanks man
No matter what, getting that many shots off on a buck while tracking is an accomplishment in and of itself!!!
The hunt is creating the opportunity to shoot, shooting the animal is just the kill
@@TheMaineWoods Yup!! I have been tracking hard up here in Northern Wisconsin...got 20 yards from a buck on saturday...too thick to even see him let alone pull off a shot. But still to say I was 20 yards from a shooter buck in a piece of woods I have never stepped foot in is really cool!! I can't hardly stand hunting any other way....I long to go tracking all year long!! Adventure every time you take a track!!
My favorite way to hunt, is to track, probably due to the fact I cant sit still . Another great video man. Love them
Good luck, Cory. Tracking is the ultimate deer hunt.
Thanks Jan
Heart Breaker. That’s the romance of hunting big deer in the big woods.
👍
That's why they call in hunting and not killing. Keep your head up, its early. Good luck my friend. 🙏
Yup
Great video! Got to love the Remington pump, it’s all I hunt with!
The old run and gun method. That was awsome you were throwing some serious lead at that joker.
lol
Excellent Video …. Thank You & Merry Christmas 🎄
✨ 🦌 💫
Thank you! Merry Christmas
That's a different kind of deer hunting for sure. Nice video of the hunt.
That was cool! I felt like I was right there with you!
He could hear you coming a mile away!
Then how did he get in shooting distance?
You can't always connect with them Cory, glad to see you can still enjoy the hunt and the day. Great video.
You don’t need to sugar coat it Jake, buck fever is a real thing…lol
Tracking is one skill I've yet to learn well. But, I've tried it during our late flintlock season here in PA before which is after Christmas and when the best chances of snow on the ground exists. Great video, I enjoyed it!
Sounds fun
The reality and physicality of what you do is awesome. I cant hunt currently bc of creaky bones but our problem in NY was always we had to stay on unposted land. What we did was wait for them. You go to them. I could not even imagine dragging a buck like that out of the woods. You have to be in professional athlete shape. Those slide action Remingtons seem to be the ticket in the thicket. After the bancruptcy they sell them again but only in 3 calibers. Ruger is also slowly reviving Marlin. The former Remington owners wrote off tons of borrowed money on those companies and they went down. So many lost jobs due to greed. Evil stuff.
👍
Tracking deer is the purest form of deer hunting it’s hard here in Pennsylvania to do it the pumpkin army gets in the way good luck on chasing him down
Hey,Here you are! I like tracking deer 🦌. It’s better than ambushing, gets boring… lol,hope you get back on’m! Good luck God speed! 👍🏻🛐
That first round looked a lil hot! 🔥
Good stuff brother
The first shot does because it blows off the tape covering the muzzle
Great hunt , thanks for sharing , better luck next time 🍀
👍
Cory, sure hope you get him next time! good job tracking him.
👍
So close,good video
Awesome hunt..
You can't hit what you don't shoot bud. That's huntin' in the big woods...don't have to tell you that. Great effort and a great video Cory. Keep after it bud!
I killed a tree, at least 20” wide, smoked it dead center
@@TheMaineWoods lol
We've all eaten our share of track soup (I like mine with a little salt, just a pinch, and cilantro) but at least you got some shooting. On those narrow gap situations, I like holding ahead (on a gap) on my best guess for path of travel and touching it off as soon as I see motion. That's gotten a couple bucks for me that otherwise would've gotten away.
great maine traking video
Thanks
Awesome hunt. Good luck on the next trip out. Thanks for taking us along!
Thanks
Congratulations! Great buck! I'm down here in Louisiana we don't have snow looks like Great hunting
Lil more snow you would of had him! Some of these comments are from people that have clearly not hunted the big woods in maine. This isn't where you sit on a food plot and name your deer. You have to put the lead down! Thanks for the video.
😂
Yes put the lead down and miss or wound a running animal. Thsts your kind of hunting. Glad you don't live by me
He is a big boy.
Tracking is definitely a challenge. I am not great at it but I enjoy tracking and still hunting here in Maine. The best part is us Trackers and Still Hunters will see things that the average stand or blind hunter may never see. That persistence pays off. I've learned with these Deer, stay on them because eventually you'll catch them slipping.
Well got ur cardio in anyways lol no other feeling in the world then running into deer when ur hunting gets the heart pumping I do t care if it’s a doe or a smasher I still get excited everytime. Keep on em and keep the videos coming
I’ve definitely got some cardio lol
I remember reading about the Benoits? Larry Benoit and his sons Lenny and Lanny...??, I forget for sure what the second son's name was, it was 35+ years ago.... in an Outdoor Life magazine when I was a wide eyed novice hunter. I don't hunt in an area that is condusive to tracking a whitetail down but I've always wanted to try it. Seems like a pure way to hunt. Loved the video!
Yes, Lanny, Shane and Lane, I’ve met Lanny, this is the way they used to hunt in the big woods
Wish we could track now a days on the coast. But we only get one storm during deer season and it's the last week usually.
Wow look like Fred.
Great 👍 job. Hopefully next time you will connect. God Bless and stay safely
Thanks
Interesting keep it up bro
Thanks
Great content Corey! For what you had for snow you did a hell of a job catching up to him! Would love to hunt in Maine one day
👍
He lives for another day but I’m sure you’ll be back
Dam wish I could get some snow here in michigan
Great hunt Thanks for posting, better luck next year 👍👍. What county are you hunting?
Hope you get him next time so it makes a good video
Success comes in all levels and styles. Catching up to bucks while tracking in the big woods is success - Period! Obviously making the kill shot and harvesting is great too. But, many people hunt all season and never see one buck let alone a half dozen like yourself. Keep the pursuit going and I'll see you at the 505 Lodge! "TDH"
I mean, some people just walk and shoot them in their bed…lol
Nice job tracking.missing always sucks but that's hunting. Hope you get on him again and get another Crack at him. 👍
👍
Awesome hunt. Good job of tracking. No blood though, huh?
No, I missed
Love your videos man. Great hunt. Keep up the hard work. Shot my first buck tracking this year in western Maine. Your videos are a good motivator and help keep me excited through the season. Keep your head up and good luck getting on that buck
Congratulations
exciting video! I found it interesting to see the Raven flying in the background at the end of the video while you were talking to the audience. Where i hunt, ravens flying overhead is usually a sign that an animal is either down or leaving a blood trail.
Ou need a small bell like a sheep bell hang it on your belt let it ring when you start tracking after you track him a while (2hours or so ) put a paper towel or cloth in the bell to stop ringing start tracking keep your eves open he'll be watching and listening for you .you can slip right up on him
"Hunting is a pursuit, tracking is the ultimate pursuit of a whitetail buck, I don't care if that hurts your feelings". Doesn't hurt my feelings. When I was a young boy in the 50's I use to have to hold the flashlight for my dad, so there are no more chips left on my shoulder. I wish we could hunt like this in Texas but just not possible. I envy you guys that get to do it this way. I can count on one hand the number of times I've seen a good snow where I live. I highly approve of your choice of firearm. What caliber?
30-.06, tracking on snow in the big woods of northern new england is one of my favorite things about living here
Good luck.
Flat landers you can see the deer in the video
You can see the deer in the video flat landers
Thanks
😂
Win some and loose some great job man !
I have missed way more than i have gotten over the years
I would love to come out with you. I’m in Maine also.
Your a forester and not a rook I can tell. I can hear the hot saw 1 and 2 you got 2 clips ready to rock
😂
Cuts draw in all the does. That's why it's so hard to trail camera deer consistently in logging country. Idaho is where I'm at. State forester
What are you using to mount that camera on you like that?
What ammo are you using?
What caliber is that rifle you are using (30-06 ?). Definitely looks like a Remington.
I definitly need to try tracking a big one down. The problem I have is I hunt in northeast Wisconsin. There is thousands of acres of public land but there is just way to many hunters. I would constantly be walking in on other hunters which I do not like doing.
Great videos by the way. There honest and down to earth.
Remington 30-06
You need to get deeper than the other hunters, most are a couple hundred yards off a road , start about a mile in , you’ll see very few hunters
@@richardbrewin4936 The problem with that is if I walk a mile in, generally I will hit another road. The roads around here are set about a mile apart for logging access and for fire control.
that hat got some miles on it
So do I lol
@@TheMaineWoods i know you do.great hunt tho its all about the journey
@@mikehoffman5542 it is all about the journey
Better to miss than a wounded trophy buck. How far away was he when you first shot at him? Can you us about your firearm?
What’s the strangest creature you’ve seen in Maine? Honestly… no making fun if it’s said not to be real
I feel like when you got to the point where he had already been. Maybe you could have settled down and gave a grunt
That is a good idea, I do that often and I probably would have but it was soo windy he would not have heard it that day, you probably cannot tell how windy it was in this footage
@@TheMaineWoods that makes more sense , glad you even got to see him, it’s hard when you can’t really hear much and have to rely on just your eyes. The hardest part of tracking is knowing when to go fast and when to go slow. And whenever you stop, always stop behind a tree if you can. The Benoits like to track in pairs, so one could follow the track and the other watches the woods. Side note, I have a pump action 30.06 I bought from Lanny’s brother in 2000. Much love for all the videos. God bless, may you and your family holidays be filled with joy and happiness
Awesome hunt but I have a question why do most of you guys carry 760s or 7600s and not 742s or 7400s?
It doesn't seem like you have a issue with getting a follow-up shot even with a pump. I think a semi-auto would be a little bit faster not sure that it matters all that much.
Does it basically boil down to just personal preference.
As someone has lived and hunted in the Southeast primarily Kentucky Tennessee and Georgia we just can't do this kind of hunting here.
I did live in New Hampshire for about 5 years for a job and I tried this in Northern New Hampshire wasn't very successful probably just don't have the patience for it or was probably going too fast I saw a lot of butts didn't get a lot of shots LOL
I used a BAR for a few years but it was heavy and I like the reliability of the pump
we used to call 742s and 7400s jamamatics.
How many acres are you hunting
Millions
I came across a big. Buck track bird huntting. Nice day followed it slow and easy. After. Hour i saw blood. I found him. Dead. Arrow in his ass. 12pt. I put my tag on him. He must have had the arrow in him for. At lest a week. Public huntting land.
In my opinion as a hunter that was reckless shoe and through them trees that you could not even see what was on the otther Side , I know oone thing I would want to be inn the wwoods hot and with you running around
Learn how to shoot!! Unsafe shooting practices!!
Unethical shooting at a running animal
you have no clue what you are talking about
What a bad shot...lol Maybe it wasnt even there... You head dear fever and anything looked like it.. hahaha I was trained: you dont release a bullet unless you see the object and that its in range....
oh crap you are full of crap
