Four Seasons

Sweetness!!!

Love the stickers Al.

Exactly. Much more thinking and a lot less reaction’s!

Hope everyone had a great season. Either freezer fillers or some bone on the wall. I was lucky enough to get 2 of the 3 target bucks I was after this year. I was beat by all during the bow season. Late November I started to get the Letchworth buck back on cameras and was able to close the deal on him. It was into December before I started again getting pics of the buck I had hanging around on the North farm. Finally sealing the deal with him during late muzzleloader season. Was another great season and have been getting some pics of a couple of new bucks that have been hanging around a couple weeks now Hopefully those will be 2 that I will be chasing around next year.

Another great late season in the books. Sucks to get beat by this guy during bow season but pretty awesome catching up to him with the snow camo and smoke pole. We really are blessed to be able to chase these great animals around for sure.

Is he not just a great looking animal. He had no idea a snowcamoed armed human was a matter of feet from him. Pretty for sure.

Trying to do a little last minute doe patrol and this guy walks around like hunting season is not even a thing. He has offered his shoulder a few times this year but another year hopefully puts him at the next level.

All afternoon hunting for me after the rut. Only after mature bucks and they are thinking about their belly now. They won’t bed far from food and morning can blow a spot out. Sleep in and then go out early afternoon and kill your mature deer.

Yup. Your good to go with the Xbow!

Shot what I thought to be a nice doe at last light and come to find out it was a buck that shed both antlers. The pedicels were both bloody as they were not dropped very long ago. Kinda sucks to take out a young buck for sure.

My 2nd target buck returned home last night. Almost sealed the deal on him during bow and then he disappeared until last night. Will be chasing him next week with the smoke pole. Hopefully he wants to fill his belly !!

Maybe the leg was forward at the shot and didn’t go into the body cavity? Guy shot is what finally killed it? Maybe????

100%. I myself won’t shoot anything but mature bucks and they just don’t make a lot of them in Ny state. Let alone a number of them on one property. I have like 14 Spypoint’s keeping track of their daily activities the best I can and it’s a rare occasion that they show up in the same place to many times. Now to just shoot a deer….any deer I’m sure it would be fine. I also think in states like say Illinois or Ohio kinda states where there are many more mature bucks because the states care about their herds a guy would get away with using blinds. But then again guys like Don Higgins has them all over his property

Would rather be in the elements with deer and harvesting deer then sitting in a blind that most any deer over 6months old knows all about and avoids. Blinds are almost like a crutch in many places.
