Passing of Lane Benoit

[adkbuck]

Friends, Sadly another member of the Benoit Family has passed away on 9 February 2015, only 16 months after the passing of Larry.   http://www.fieldandstream.com/blogs/whitetail-365/renowned-vermont-tracker-lane-benoit-dies-at-60

 

I truly enjoyed watching and listening to  Lane on video and at seminars.  I spoke to him a few times at seminars and shows.  He always had an easy smile and happy way about him.  His enthusiasm was pretty contagious.  He was a great tracker and teacher of tracking. He will be missed by many deer hunters, especially those who hunt big woods.  Our prayers go out to his family.  May he find good tracking snows and a joy of the hunt that will be never ending.     R.I.P. Lane.

Sad day. i grew up reading their books, and learning how to track deer from emulating them.

they're pretty down to earth, I'm just another hunter that happens to be successful and confident, kind of people.  I've met them at shows.  tough losing him when not that long ago their "pop" Larry passed can't be an easier.

Sad day for sure.  I always remember his excitement when he shot a really nice buck.  (I think it was in the second video they put out.)  I was happy to see they get as much excitement out of it as many of us do even after taking so many. 

 

RIP Lane Benoit we will miss you dearly!!!

That's too bad and pretty lousy for their family to lose two so close together.

I was so sad when i heard the news. I never read their books not did i eve meet them but i hear they were stand up guys and the books were awesome! I did follow them for a little while though.

Over the hills and through the woods, Lane chased big bucks like only he could.  He would chase them high and chase them low not many escaped his final blow.  He taught us to be proud and feel no shame for hunting whitetail deer was the name of the game.  We will miss you Lane that is for sure but we will pass on your hunting lore.  We will try to emulate your hunting skills, tracking big bucks over the hills but as much as we try to be like you no one compared to the whitetail guru. 

 

RIP

Nicely put, NFA-ADK. I've never hunted 'the big woods', but their stories and teachings have been with me for the past 40 years. A legacy family for sure.

By all accounts, a good family man and a great deer hunter. RIP....Lane.
