MORNING SENTINEL • October 22, 2022
Another Maine youth hunting day came and went Saturday, and four, young sharp-shooters came through Skowhegan’s Fire Department to have their deer tagged and weighed by midday. On one designated day annually, licensed junior hunters can shoot one antlered deer statewide. There are also youth hunting days for bear, spring wild turkey, fall wild turkey and waterfowl. Cassie Bessey, 15, today shot her first-ever deer — a 92-pound doe. Savannah Furbush, 13, of Norridgewock was described by her father as a “deer machine.” Today marked the fourth deer she’s shot in Maine.
