ADDISON COUNTY — Younger hunters in the area did not have quite as much success on the Nov. 9-10 Youth Hunting Weekend as they had in the past two Novembers, but the 109 deer they had weighed at seven reporting stations in Addison County was very respectable compared to results over the past five years.
The 109 deer this Youth Hunting Weekend is down slightly from the 124 tagged over the same weekend in 2012, and one less than the number in 2011. In both 2009 and 2010 the final tally stood at 95,
There were some decent-sized deer weighed in the county over Youth Hunting Weekend, but far and away the largest by almost 20 pounds was Austin Brown’s 193-pound eight-pointer, which he bagged in Weybridge and reported at the Lincoln General Store. In fact, Brown’s prize buck was heavier than any of the 200 deer claimed this past weekend during the first few days of the open rifle hunting season.
The appropriately named Hunter Gale shot a 174-pound buck with three points on Youth Hunting Weekend.
The following youths were successful and had their deer weighed at Green Mountain Trails End in Bristol; Buxton’s Store in Orwell; the Village Green Market in New Haven; Middlebury’s Vermont Field Sports; the Jerusalem Country Store in Starksboro; or the Lincoln or West Addison general stores. C&S Hunting Supplies had no deer reports from Youth Hunting Weekend, and the Panton General Store has closed for the winter.
They are listed by name, town of kill, weight and gender of deer, and by pounds and points if they are antlered bucks.
