    Big 8 Down - Help give a rough score?

    in Deer Hunting

    Posted · Edited by WestchesterBowman

    Was fortunate enough to take this buck last weekend in Westchester County. 

     

    Arrowed him at 20 yards trying to sneak back to his bedroom at first light. 

     

    Can anyone help give a rough score? Just out of curiosity really.

    Bear rug back

    Fantastic, looks like it will fit right in with your other splendid trophies. 

     

    Question: When getting a bear rug, do you have to get the fringe/color layer on the bottom or can it just be the actual bear hide?

    i get more bears than bucks on my cameras in 4r. Not really interested in shooting one this year but im going to take a buddy out and set him up in a good spot and film for him. Have a real good watering hole that they visit every 2 days or so. Just hope one shows up. I saw 3 different bears in one day during turkey season in the same area also. I don't think there will be that many guys out that it will affect bow season too much.

    We are in 4R as well. Same deal, more bears and coyotes then bucks. Last year,  two weeks before bow season, I walked just a few feet from a huge bear that was bedded down in the pines. Had it been 2014 he'd be a dead bear. But I had to just watch him walk away last year. I never saw him until he popped up. Amazing that such a large animal could blend in so well and you could walk RIGHT past him.

    Anywhere to hunt in southern Westchester?

    The area you're talking about (Hastings-On-Hudson, Dobbs Ferry, Ardsley) there is not hunting and the houses there are so packed together, you'll have to get permission from several houses to get your 500 feet clearance. Hastings-On-Hudson was one of those towns that was looking into sterilizing the deer as a solution.

     

    Just 150 feet this year with the bow!

    Never ceases to amaze me...

    I can tell you've put a lot of effort in to that response. I apologize for whatever I have done to you in your mind.

    Depending on the day, my commute takes me along the three major NS parkways in southern westchester, the Bronx River Parkway, the Sprain Brooke and the Saw Mill. Along all three of these I consistently see deer. There seem to be large patches of open space in some sections. 

     

    Anyone have experience or knowledge of this area or am I wasting my time?

    I'm just saying if the stores who promote ethical hunting and sportsmanship sell feed clearly labeled as deer corn, its wrong. It's like saying "we're good sportsman, and we love the outdoors. But if you can't get a deer the right way, we have piles of deer bait for you to use." It's a dog and pony show strictly for the money.

     

    Stores have one mission. Profit. End of story.
