PIC OF THE WEEK:
This week’s "Pic of the Week" is Ryan Lewis with a great NH deer hunting story. Hunting since he was a youngster, now at age 40 Ryan is targeting older bucks. While camping with his family in New Hampshire in 2020 Ryan used his time to do a little scouting. He returned in August to set up some trail cameras and left them through the season. Upon checking the cameras that winter, Ryan was stunned by the mature bucks he had captured. Over the next few years he kept up his scouting and in 2025 he decided to spend a full week hunting. Ryan invited a younger hunter, Cooper, whom he had mentored, to join him. They hung stands that summer and anxiously awaited the season. The first morning arrived and Ryan passed on a beautiful black bear. Later that evening his heart went into overdrive as one of his target bucks appeared at around 80 yards! The buck's vitals were hidden behind a tree; Ryan felt the wind shift, and sure enough his buck was out of there! Ryan was both crushed and encouraged after seeing the big buck on his first day of hunting. The next morning, the hunters forgot daylight savings time had ended and woke up an hour late! Cooper dropped Ryan off near his stand and headed to his own setup over a mile away. Just as Ryan neared his stand, he heard a shot from Cooper's direction. Minutes later, he called: he had shot a big buck. Ryan was excited and in disbelief as he headed toward Cooper. Eleven minutes later, Ryan reached the edge of a swamp and spotted antlers. He immediately recognized a buck they called “The Devil,”! So named because one spike that looked like a devil horn. The only shot he had was head and neck. Ryan settled his crosshairs just below the buck's chin and pulled the trigger. Neither Ryan or Cooper could believe what had just happened. In a span of 11 minutes, they had killed two mature bucks they had spent years dedicating themselves to. The two hunters were blessed with an unforgettable reward! Congratulations guys on what is no doubt a hunt of a lifetime! For sharing your story and photo we’ll be sending you a $10 gift card courtesy of Lenny’s Shoe & Apparel.
