7 pointer, Shot in Deer Isle. Went and sat down back of my house myself,  the 4 kids were inside waiting for a shot. 
I sat on the ground on a noll for about 5 mins,  this was around 4:39 pm. I heard the bushes moving and all I see was rack and his nose to the ground, after a few seconds trying to control my breathing I blasted him in the neck with a Browning 7mm08. He dropped right in his tracks with no movement. I ran back up the hill and all 4 kids were screaming "you got it, you got it!" They were so excited and so was I.
My husband was out lobstering, I called my parents and I just barely could explain on the phone because I was so excited. Luckily we have a 4 wheeler which helped with transporting it up a very large hill. We dressed it and my parents went to the tagging station with me, it weighed 171 dressed. 
Super excited to be getting it mounted to put next to my 11 point 220# buck I got last yr. 
Such a beautiful looking deer his markings and his short stubby nose is so unique.

My husband was on a guided hunt at the Northern Outdoors in the Forks ME, we were staying in a beautiful 3 story cabin with our 2 boys. The 1st night there we went to the main lodge to eat dinner with my husbands guide and I had some drinks at the bar, messing around told the guide I was going to shoot a big buck up here without no guide. Well the next morning we realized my husband had left his winter coat at the house back in Deer Isle. So I typed in the GPS the location to a sporting goods store...
3 hours later and miles and miles in logging trails we get to a bridge that no longer could be crossed, so we turned around and got lost some more. We came to a rd called Hunter road took it, trying to figure out how the hell to get out of here. We come up over a hill and my husband said "I see tracks over here." I said "me too." Fresh tracks. I look up and OMG, the biggest deer I have ever seen walking with my eyes. I said "right there!" Got out, and he didnt even know we were there. Nose to the ground, I figured he would of seen us because he was right there walking right across the road. I shot him right in the neck, with a browning 7mm08. He stumbled and my husband said  "you got him!" There was my husband, our 2 boys and myself. The deer wasnt very far away and he kept picking up his head, I jacked another shell in and shot him again. All I was thinking was this thing is not getting away. 
It was freezing cold, snow everywhere and here I am in a pair of american eagle jeans and nursing shoes. We get up to the deer after trudging through alders flattened from snow and wind, tripping the whole way. I had no clue how many points it was, my husband counted and it was 11. He has dual browtines, and was huge. It was so heavy, we field dressed it right there trying to make it any bit lighter. This was the biggest struggle just me and my husband dragging it to the truck. Trying to breathe in the cold air, with so much adrenaline was the toughest. After about 15 20 mins we got it to the truck and what a struggle to get it in the back body. 
What a great time, and great story. The lodge was so astonished that I got a deer, they did a photo shoot with my family and the buck. 
It weighed 220 dressed, I got my biggest bucks of maine patch. Not a big rack but a nice huge deer. The beast is mounted on my wall.


Thanks for adding the story of the hunt.   Preserving the memory in your words.
