Legacy- 2016 Deer Season

[bout time]

Slow day for me in 8F. I did have one 6pt come in at 10 yards. Big body, short rack, but wide. It extended out about 3" outside the ears. Made me think, but I let him walk

2 1/2yr old for sure I didn't measure him likely won't be 120" rough quick guess from stand before I looked at pictures.. but glad to see you are good enough to nail it down to 109-112"

2 or 3 more years huh? So you only shoot 4 1/2 or 5 1/2 yr old deer god bless you, how many 5 1/2 yr old buck you killed in NY?

I will let you know when I find one hehe. Been on a bender lately, putting my bow tags on scrub bucks the last three years. I have been enjoying the young venison immensely. I need a twelve step intervention program to get me back on track with shooting mature deer. Maybe when the kids head off to college I will have the time to devote again.

Small buck just came flying in mouth wide open. Hit the pond for a real quick drink and back on to searching

And another. ......

Just need a 150 to do exactly what this one did!

Sitting in 8A looking for doe. It kinda sucks not being in our "rut" stands, but I figure I should leave them alone for the two guys who hunt with me. Plus, you never know. The wind is right where I'm perched.

[Duckman1]

[bondouley]

[JakeyBaby]

Not making this up have had two different 2.5 old 8s and finally a 3.5 but know shot! Hunting a my parents and while all that was going on they had a buck in there backyard. By far my best rut hunt ever!

[Legacy]

Just had ANOTHER 2.5 come from the other direction of all tge action hot on a doe, possibly the one I passed last week. How can there be so many 2.5 in spot without a big boy???

[Legacy]

This buck got the blood pumping tonight. Too bad he's just a 2.5 bruiser. 4 broken points including both main beams. He also had three puncture wounds from fighting. One on his back, one on his side and one on his neck. Someday he'll be champ!

Good luck this weekend guys! I got a feeling there will be some lou guys txting BBD!!

[Gator]

Ain't it great being in the middle of the rut! You just never know. Boom or bust. Glad you got set up near a hot doe Matt. 

 

I didn't end up having any bucks around me last night, but at 5:15 a mature doe gave me an easy 20 yard shot. I was hunting up front where I could get her out without disturbing the rest of the property, and she helped me by falling very near where we normally gut our deer in the corner of one of the fields. At first I was concerned because the arrow looked like it had schmeg on it and I thought maybe I hit her too far back, even though the shot looked fine on impact. I didn't have a good blood trail, either. As it turned out, it was a liver shot and she bled out internally. I'm not sure why the arrow made me think gut, but all was good.

 

Back at it this morning to try to get a friend into some action with his crossbow.
