I live in NJ and normally live vicariously through all of your fishing stories and pics. So, today, I'm happy to be able to return the favor with a quick story and a pic that I hope you all will appreciate.

My uncle and I were hunting a small Seneca county farm this morning and at 7:20, this buck came to within 40 yards of my uncle.

As requested, a couple more pics and one correction... My Uncle lives in Seneca County, he shot the buck in Ontario County. 16-18 points depending on the official definition of a 'point' with a 22" inside spread....

Definitely a buck of a lifetime! Congratulations. Since I live in Seneca county I'm glad he came from Ontario. Hoping his brother is still hanging around here! Let us know what he scores.

Thanks guys... I've passed on all of your comments.

We won't know his official score for a few months, but a local guide gave him a rough, green score of 170+ typical, 190+ non-typical.

Without a doubt, a beautiful animal and a buck of a lifetime!

Good luck to all of you in search of his siblings... I'm sure there are more like him out there!!!

Let me know when your uncle gets him back from the taxidermist. Legend has it touching horns of a trophy local buck gives you good luck the following year!!

Thanks, definitely better, more appropriate responses!!

On one hand, I can understand that people have questions and want to know specifics. Especially since neither my uncle nor I started the thread on that forum. The pics were copied from this site and posted there without permission, without context by someone else who obviously meant well and wanted to share the news, but didn't have any knowledge of the harvest.

However, to suggest that something was wrong with the deer or that my uncle did something inappropriate is a disservice to both!

It was a beautiful, healthy animal and my uncle is a true NY outdoorsman through and through... bow, shotgun, muzzle loader, scents, mock scrapes, etc.

Like I originally wrote, the only reason I posted here is because I've read the Finger Lakes fishing forum daily for the past 2/3 years. I grew up on Seneca, but rarely get to fish and therefore don't have anything to contribute, so this was my 'attempt' to give back!

For those interested, more details/pics will be released about the hunter and the harvest, but my uncle is coordinating that. Once I have the details, I'll post them here.

Thanks again to all for the feedback and congratulations! My uncle is still on cloud 9!
