Maine’s Greatest Deer Hunter Larry Benoit, shoots moose at 500 yards with open sight carbine. Why?

My dead Dad had all these books about deer hunting in a wooden chest, along with his hunting stuff. I am reading about Larry Benoit, the greatest hunter of Maine. He uses a Remingtion 760 Carbine with a short barrel and shoots Maine moose at 500 yards with open sights. He will hunt in snowstorms with nothing but the clothes on his back, his gun, a couple bullets, a plastic bag, matches, a knife and two sandwiches in his pockets.

Mr Benoit lives in Vermont. He gained fame as possibly the best whitetail deer hunter way back in the early ’70s. Back when this old timer was learning to hunt, it was done the old fashioned way. Stalk your game. Scopes, the few that were available in the 50′s and 60′s, were not the percision devices we have now. Larry Benoit learned what worked and simply stuck with a proven game plan.

The old boy is 82 and still hunts.

Here is an interesting article about Mr. Benoit. Thanks for the trip down memory lane. . .
