Camp Edwards, MA – 10/30/2025: After firing two shots just before the end of hunting hours, Fred Baker made his way down the dirt road overlooked by his hunting spot to examine the button buck he targeted on Thursday, Oct. 30, 2025. Fred “spined” the young deer with the first shell, paralyzing it. “I don’t like [killing] the little ones,” Fred said, after making the quick decision to seize what might be the only chance he had at harvesting a deer during the three-day season. It would be his only encounter with a deer for the rest of the parahunt. (Ben Pennington for The Boston Globe)
