Abby Vose, 15, of Augusta and her grandfather, Pete Krug of Topsham, watch Friday as the nine-point buck Vose shot on the first day of the Youth Deer Hunt is processed Friday at Sabattus Deer Processing. This is the first year Maine has expanded the Youth Deer Hunt from one day to two. The second day is Saturday, one week before Maine Resident Only Day. Vose shot her first buck Friday morning while out with her grandfather. Vose will have a mount made of the deer’s head, keep the back straps to eat and donate the rest of the meat to Hunters for the Hungry, a program that provides venison to soup kitchens and food pantries.
