BANGOR DAILY NEWS • October 27, 2021

Saturday’s Youth Deer Day provided the opportunity for Maine hunters 16 and under to get out on their own dedicated day in the woods.Few hunters will be able to tell the kind of story Cameron Albert of Newburgh has from his first day of hunting deer. It was 5:15 p.m. Saturday in Waldo when a spikehorn buck and three does first came into the field within sight of his family’s tower stand. He made the decision to take the buck. Cameron’s shot was on target and briefly dispersed the does that had been close by. Within a minute, all of them returned. With an antlerless deer permit available, the 9-year-old opted to shoot the largest of the does.
