    Good thing to do, I would of done the same. Hunting 35 years now and can't say I have ever been on either side of the fence.

    Thanks-yes that's a cool rack. His right side is also bladed out so it's about 5 " wide where all the points meet.

    Sorry to hear that Doc.

    Thanks for the info NYantler. Here is a picture of mine, the deer in the middle. It does have 7pts but the scorer said because the other browtine is missing it gets scored as a 6pt. Official score was 111. I remember the spread being around 22". I'll work on getting pictures of the other deer, it was killed this year. My deer was killed back in 91. Thanks, Burt

    Hey Zem, We all have these years. My girls and I just ate the last pieces of venison from last year. I hope this is a good sign for next week! Good luck at camp, aim small miss small! Good luck, Burt

    Guys, Just talked to my nephew this morning and a friend of his shot a big 6pt. It scored close to 120. He was told very few 6 pts have ever been taken over the 100pt score. He is actually getting some type of recognition from, I think, P/Y. What's your take take on this? Back in 1991 I shot a big 6pt that scored 111pts. It was officially scored and recorded. Any thoughts?

    We really suck at this bow thing! Looking back through the years I never shot a deer over 20 yards with the bow. I have to find an outdoor 3d range and shoot more often. Next year, I vow, to practice more!

    Thanks guys, I should clarify that the 25 acres is leased to a farmer. It was oats earlier in the year now its clover. The tops of the turnips are still there. I even tasted one and it was not bitter. I check it out as the season moves on. It will be cool to see exactly when the turnips get hit.

    Was up last weekend, none of the food plots have been hit by the deer???? Thought they would of been eating the turnips. I guess late season for those. I do have a 25 acre field of clover they are eating, could this be the answer?

    Good job Bubba. Used to hunt near Platsburgh over at the minors. Miss it up there.

    Last year I took a 14 year old out and he shot his first deer with the bow. It was a small doe. This year he passed up two chip shots at small doe and one at a big doe. He held out for a shot at a buck which he almost got. When he left camp with his dad i asked him if he was upset not shooting at those doe? he told me now way just seeing that buck this year was worth it! There you go. Myself I won't pass on a doe or a 1.5 year old. I travel a great distance to camp and time is limited.

    Funny I was just cleaning my place up, girls coming this weekend, was thinking about you talking about the soccer commitments this year. My younger one started it this year and has games every Saturday at 11:45. It's tough but for me knowing that I only get to see them every other weekend it's a must I am there. Good luck this weekend, like you said the mornings will be cold! Get'er done!

    Great story! I took my two girls squirrel hunting this fall, they loved it. The basket is to put the squirrels in.lol We didn't shoot any, I think the pink camo gave us away! I love taking kids into the woods-it breaths new life to an old hunting sole!

    I believe it was a bit wetter than normal. Lets hunt!
  24. First-light
    Well a wet spring helps the food deer eat grow faster and they take in more nutrients for antler growth. Makes sense. Here is an article about it. http://nexthunt.com/blog/antler-growth-and-droughts/

    Real nice deer. This year was setting up to be a great year for big racked deer. A friend of mine was told by a NYS biologist that the weather in early spring was perfect for antler growth. Whatever that means maybe he was right. I for one have never seen so many big rubs on my property than this year.
