They found him. Sent from my HTC6525LVW using Tapatalk

The plan was to hunt to 9:00 then for Joe and I to put a new rather large ladder stand as Joe had be leave by 10:30 and I needed help putting it up. Joe went into the thick stuff and saw 4 bucks and 1 doe, while I saw nothing..... Then this guy crossed a large field and entered the woods I'd say 100 west of me around 8:45 or so. A bit later I saw antlers heading my way, I stood up,with bow ready he's coming straight towards me , he passes and at less then ten yards I shoot. Rear quartering but I hit high! No pass through either, he ran a bit than walked off, I heard one snap. 30 minutes later I thought I'd check the blood but figured I'd be coming back in 6 hours to look. Blood was very good an easy track he went about 100 yards. 6 pt, no brow tines. I know not a nice woods picture but I got a kick out of this picture !

.

First crossbow kill!

No deer this am but a Bear walked by to close!!!!!

Good signs. Gonna get my 9 year old from up in the camper.. and have him do the tracking. Sent from my HTC6525LVW using Tapatalk

I found a new place to keep my quiver ,but don't set it there,kick it out of the treestand and listen to it hit the climbing stick 3 times on the way down...and now some rain for the win ,WTF!

This buck showed up 10 min after I sat down in my stand for my first time out for the season on oct 27th. double lung went 40 yrds stopped and tipped over. just sat there like wth just happened. Taxidermist said it might make 130 135ish. he's sending it out to get scored when done. My shortest season ever and my largest buck ever lol

So haven't been on in a while but thought id add to the meat pole. was finally able to get out on oct 27th for an evening sit. 15 min after climbing into the stand this guy shows up at 4:30. 10 points 17in spread. prolly make 130 I would guess. shortest bow season ever.

Assist goes to Larry302, Gus (if i got that right), and Moog and our buddy David. Been a while since i had to let one go overnight. Liver shot.

Sitting for the evening in 3s hoping the deer got the memo that the rut is on! What the hell are they waiting for?!? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Secret weapon my daughter made me. Good luck bracelet

a few weeksago there was a topic started on vacation. I posted when I was taking my vacation and gman sent me a pm inviting me to hunt with him at his place. we met up on Wednesday did some hanging out chatting and he showed me around his property. his place is top notch the time that he has spent doing the trails and maintaining them and the number of stand locations and how hes done each set is amazing. I didn't see any deer but it was 70 plus degrees out his neighbor did take an exceptional buck and unfortunately gman found a beautiful 10 poached I sure hope they catch the guy. also gman cooked one hell of a tenderloin. I can't wait to get back out. thank you I had a great time

I set a camera up on a scrape next to one of my stands a couple days before Halloween. I didn't get to hunt this spot much this year since I killed a buck on 10/2. In particular, I was hoping to get some good pics of a big 9-pt with a crabclaw that I'd gotten pics of a few weeks before. Well, I finally made it up to check it this morning: ended up get a couple of pics of the 9-pt passing through... I was really excited to see this big ole droptine bruiser. In the first pic he is 15 yds from my stand. I'd love to see him a couple of weekends from now... Also had a few two year olds, some does, a few yearling bucks and too many coyotes...

Nice 8 just came by then a small 6

Scored this nice buck on 11/1/15 While hunting with my brothers in Rock Hill. He was chasing a doe and came straight at me. When he got to 13 yds I drew down on him with my Bowtech Destroyer and sent my Rage tipped Easton Flatline at him. He dropped a few yards away.

. If that much damage was done from the fall it's probably best he got a new sight 15 ft I would hope he had someone check his limbs.....

Was able to get out of work in time to go hunting this afternoon and it paid off. 6 point with the Excalibur Matrix 310.

Just need this lil' guys mama to show up. Two 1.5 year olds under me. Sent from my HTC6525LVW using Tapatalk

A level? I don't even use them when doing construction let alone shooting.

I'd rather the wind stop

. If you like Italian piccolo is great.... Expensive but really good. The Greek place is pretty good too! But tell me about this German restaurant, if it isn't too far I might have to try it

Those are exactly the reasons why she is at the top of the Democrat National Committee

Hunting with an Xbox ? Have you also hunted with a GameBoy ?

out of "likes" but LIKE !!! Way to go. And to involve the little ones too !

Said he didn't have nor can get permission

Saw a yote at 7 then the turkey and small 6 Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

I had a fisher climb partway up my tree this am as I was watchin some deer. That was cool.

Put in my first chew of the morning, may have been a mistake the combo of that and the height and angle of this seat I really gotta crap

It's official, first day of crossbow, I'm a gettin ready, good luck fellow NY Xbowers.....

The 10 Point Venom will be in hand in the morning

Thank you.....Like chiefBKT said they do not charge but do take a donation for the club. That obviously is up to the person on what they think they should give....We gave them $150 which I think is an appropriate/good donation. I am also going to stay in contact with Bob and see about becoming a member to help support them even though we are from PA. Sure do wish Pa would get their act together and let dogs do some tracking. Like I said it was a great experience and would use them again if needed.

good luck I wont be headed out until monday but hoping for the same blood on the ground

Straight from the cervix of a doe in her 58-63 hour breeding cycle. Doe in heat lure may have very little of this fluid in the mix because it is mixed with urine. If she is in true heat. Most is a shot in the dark and much of the urine sold is just that, Urine. A younger buck will react to about any urine but for a mature buck to pay any attention to it you better think Pheromone's!

Here is a family of bobcats i got on my trail cam.

I will be heading out with the crossbow in the morning. Hoping to have blood on the ground at some point!

Wait a year or two and they will probably put muzzle loaders in the archery season . It will give you more range than a cross bow .

Ok we've again established that it is a somewhat ugly gun that some feel performs well and we also learned about the Mini 14 which I don't have a clue what it is, but that's just me. And we all know the Fuhrer has screwed us NYers royally without vaseline in doing away with all the fun bells and whistles on an AR-15. So any other alternatives for a semi i can use at the range and perhaps for yote hunting this winter? I am already set for deer hunting with my Remy 710 in 30-06 and my son's Savage .270 both of which are as Marisa Tomei once said "Dead on balls accurate". Thanks, DT

So, bit of a surprising result this evening. I came home a little early from work and despite the ridiculous temps, I decided to sit for the remaining 40 minutes of shooting light.I am going away for the weekend so I didn't wanna waste any opportunity to try and get Big-Boy. It is dry, a dead calm.Almost no breeze. I'm thinking, as I crunch my way to the stand, that this is gonna be a waste of time, but it's already almost 4:30, so I won't be out there long.Sunset is a little after 5 in my zone. I sit in the stand.2 or 3 squirrels are tearing it up in the dry leaves, making a decent racket. 10 minutes after my butt touches seat I hear a more regular version of leaf crunching. Something is coming my way. It's getting louder and louder. I can tell its close but I can't see a fricken thing between all the sapling trunks.Maybe it's my neighbor going for a walk I wonder? No self respecting Deer will be out in this crap, surely? Then I see him and for one fraction of a second I think it might be the Big 10. I see a decent amount of bone. After a couple of seconds I realize it is not the monster 10, but he looks a decent 8 and I have put in enough hours this last month to take the shot and reward my patience. He has read the playbook and is coming right toward the pinch point made by some fallen trees. I line my sight up right over the spot he is going to hit. As soon as his shoulders pass under the pin I let one fly. He drops like a sack of potatoes. My shot was a touch high and I have spine shot him unfortunately.It was a clean pass through, I haven't yet recovered the arrow. So he is down but not out, he crashes about behind this lump of dead tree tops. I cannot see him for a kill shot. I have to jump down and run around to get to the other side of the brush-pile. At about 15 yards I put another arrow right into the boiler room and it is over. This is the stand I was surrounded by coyotes in, so I rush back, get a 4 wheeler and the wife with a shotgun to cover me while I do the business of dressing him. I had no camera, so the photos are after dark and by the house. I cut my finger up nicely in my haste to get him gutted given the warm evening temps. I just missed the processors, so he is in the basement full of Ice packs for now.Have to wait till morning to get him to the butchers.

Well the warm temps had me questioning going out today in Suffolk county, nailed a nice doe at 7:30, decided to hang out a little longer, well mr big comes walking in 30 min later, and I took my best buck with a bow to date, 8 ptr with one tine snapped off.

Well I wasn't overly confident with the high winds this afternoon. I had only seen a small buck and was getting pretty bored. Then I hear noise behind me to the right. I quickly see he's a shooter, grab my bow and stand up. At this point he's maybe 12yrds from the stand. He hears the stand make alittle noise when I stand up, he looks around for a second and takes a couple steps and I grunt to stop him and get it fly. He went maybe 70yrds.

I just got a picture of a good sized doe walking past the stand my dad shot over the huge buck ,let's see if anything comes through following her.This is from my cellular cam so I'll update this post if I get anything.

Nice, my buddy's will Be in Kent tomorrow

Alright, you all have convinced me to save up and get the proper Mossy 500! Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk

I have a Barnett Raptor, $350 or so. Got bad shoulders, so when they passed the law, I went and bought it. Didn't want to drop a lot of money if I could only use it a couple weeks. And I wasn't sure if I would even like it. Well, I do like it. Not love it. And it is fun to shoot, and very accurate out to my hunting range of 30 yards. But the scope that came with it is garbage. It is very loud and the plastic bolt retaining spring broke the first time I shot it, a Barnett thing. So perhaps after full inclusion I will upgrade. But for now it is ok, and I will be hunting with it the next few days. Hoping to kill a deer.
