WEST FORKS — Call it luck. Or maybe it’s back-to-back mild winters a few years ago after several brutal ones. Maybe it’s the large, organized coyote kill. Or the local deer-feeding program. Or a change in forest practices. Maybe it’s all of the above, but one thing appears to be true: The deer herd in The Forks region, where the Kennebec River meets the Dead River in northern Somerset County, appears to be rebounding, locals say. The rebound is not only in deer numbers, but also in an increase of mature, big deer. With the return of mature deer – big bucks – the region could be poised for an economic four-season rebound as well. Shane and Rachel Crommett, who opened 15 Mile Stream Lodge and Outfitters in West Forks in 2009, say hunters last week bagged six bucks each weighing in excess of 200 pounds. “This is definitely going to bring a few hunters back up here – it already has,” Shane Crommett said Wednesday, three days before Saturday’s end of the regular firearms season for hunting deer.
