Opening day gun season

Well my archery season wasn't what I had hope for. Damn work got in the way of hunting. The last two days I was hesitant of hunting because of the wind. A steady light wind works for where I wanted to be but not a heavy gusty wind so I stayed out. And I'm glad I did.

I got in stand about 610 or so and slowly got settled in with hundred layers. Before I even got my jacket on I had a buck sneak past me about 30 yards. It was too dark to tell which buck it was but of course I was convinced it was one of my target bucks. Ill admit... it screwed with my head a bit.
Gun shots started ringing out about 639ish from every direction. Then about 715 I noticed movement cutting down the same spot cruising bucks have been using for 2 weeks. Things happen fast. It doesn't take long to realize he's a shooter. I stand turn to my right. Rest the gun on the tree. The deer just happens to stop at 30 yards and I pull the trigger. He dropped in his tracks but I got hit high. 9x scope at 30 yards I guess I should have held down on him. I had to finish him off with a second shot. If only the guy shooting was as good as the gun. [emoji38].

To my surprise i have no history with this deer. Big thick wide 9pt with split g2. I'll be patiently waiting on the late season to start!

Congrats to all who scored already - some fine bucks down

it’s killing me sitting in the camper on opening day here in Eden,NY.

snow is up to my hips- heart attack walking

Took me 3 hours to get  over 4’ of snow off trailer 

we are hoping to hunt Monday maybe??

With more snow coming tonight 😩

not how I wished my fathers  60th opening day to pan out . GL to those out and those who finally  get out

Nice buck!

neighbor got a trail cam picture of the one i miss hit, which was great to see him still on his feet. 
 

scored a 6pt this morning at 10yrds. 

[tlombardozzi]

This guy came through a little after 7:30 AM pushing a small doe.  7 points, 20” spread.

 

Congrats to all who scored during bow and this morning

Wow those are some great deer. Not sure what’s more impressive the body size or the racks. Nice shooting! Love this thread!

Agree! I dropped my archery buck head off at my taxidermist for a euro. He said he's had more 2.5 yr old bucks come in for mounts than ever and they are huge.

Congrats to all who scored on legit trophies today. We are definitely seeing the hey day of NY whitetail hunting now as it pertains to antler beam health.

"Less is more" again this season Rob!  Great buck!

[whaler1]

Careful Vince, you might make him smile. 

[sectvchamps1113]

Our mennonite neighbor took this buck today chasing a doe with three other bucks. He is a great kid who lost his whole bow season breaking his collar bone.  The neighbor down the street had several pictures of him in October but none recently. 

[whaler1]

Wow! Great buck
