good deal. way to go on your 1st.. you should butcher it. its not as hard as you think.

nice buck... Congrats...

I can say i have seen deer mainly when its real cold out, when it gets around 43 and up im wasting my time. the only exception is when its raining out, for me its the best time to hunt.

Just wondering how many of you guys hunt in 8F?

if you know how long your string is you can get a zebra hybrid string on ebay for around $15 yo $25 that is the string i use and cant say enough about it. hope this helps.

Great Buck..... Congrats.... ;D

sorry i posted the 1st thread in the wrong place. if any mod sees this please delete this topic and move the other thread here. thanks. . . Ok, I just got home from work about 5 pm 11/04, I rushed to change and get out to the stand. it took about 10 minutes to dress and i was out the door. My stand yesterday is about 300 yards from my house (right in my back woods) so about 5:15 I was in my stand and just lit a smoke. then ''CRACK'' i turned to my left and here he comes. He was no more than 5 feet from my tree right behind me. I do a 180 and draw. Im 20 feet up shooting almost straight down, and let it rip. The Lazer Eye lit red and he was off, he ran to my back trail as I saw the nock glowing and then he stoped and the lazer eye nock was on the ground. He just walked away, right out of sight. I climed down and went back to my house to give him time to bleed out. At that angle it was hard to place the arrow. seemed like a good shot to me tho. Finally its time to look and recover. I have my youngest boy (16 years old) get the quad and a few lights and my gerber blood light and off we go. We went right where the arrow dropped. It was coated in bright red blood. and the rain was washing the blood away quickley. We find the blood trail quickly (by the puddles) He walked right down the atv trail about 50 yards then into the thick. We lost the blood a few times, the gap of blood was getting farther and farther apart untill there was none. The rain did a number on the blood, even with the blood lights. I called up a good friend of mine and he was at my door by 8:30 so i sent my son in and I was off again. We went to the last spot of blood and went the path that was the easyest for a deer to go through. It seemed to go right in a 30 acre corn field behind my property. we walked the corn field with no signs of anything, it was time to call it quits. its now about 10:30 5 hours later with a dead end in sight. We jumped on the quad and went down the road to the corn field and nothing. I said lets just call it quits, Instead of taking the road back to my house we went between my land and the corn field, I turned off the road and no more than 10 feet in there he was. right in the opening around the field. We were about 20 feet from him when we walked the field but never went to the road. Ill tell you what, two adult men had one hell of a time loading this brute on the quad.

Congrats to you two. ;D

nice deer ;D

i keep mine in the inside coat pocket unless im off my property.

nice looking deer you have there.

WOW that is a big rack. very nice.

I havent scored him yet. didnt make it to the wall man today, things came up, but they will score him for me. I should have him there by next weekend. i never scored a deer before so ill leave it up to the pro's. Im doing a shoulder mount with hooves, in the upright with a right glance. I would say he was a pre gut weight of 300 lbs give or take. and by the teeth i would say 4 to 5 years old. --REVISED-- I just droped off the cape and he did a rough score, he said ''this is a low ball'' he only checked the smaller side and did a x-2 and it came out around a 155 class but would mostly be in the 160 to 165 class but i am going to have it scored by the pro's and have it put in the ''BIG BUCK BOOK''

nice deer. and good job on the re-nock, most deer wont give you a second chance.

Congrats... Great Buck...

right in my back yard in sodus http://huntingny.com/forums/index.php/topic,2103.0.html

no scale, but i would have to say around 300 give or take. a good friend of mine caped him out and we are taking him to the wall man tomorrow. here are a few pics of the caping. i thought the last pic was funny so i put it in.
