  1. First week of bow in WNY this season, decided to sit one morning by myself(we film our hunts so usually switch up who films with my fiance), it was about 20 minutes after sunrise and I heard something coming behind me, the one time I decide not to look bc I think its a squirrel as it usually is and out of the corner of my eye to the left I can see a brown blob, instant adrenaline and heart pounding so loud I can't hear myself think. I finally turn my head slowly to look and see a nice buck standing there. We do deer managment on my property and I knew we only shoot so many bucks a year and they have to be atleast 3 yrs old and outside the ears, we had a stare off for about 3-5 minutes and I noticed had had a broken tineso was a nice 7pt. I was nervous to make the shot when he gave me that perfect broadside shot at 20 yrds, being unsure of age and if he was what we are looking to take. I think nerves got the best of me and I passed on this buck for the morning. After getting back to camp I told everyone about my encounter and come to find out we had several photos on our wall from our trail camera and they couldn't believe I passed on him. I kicked my self in the ass after thinking about it and unsure if I would ever get a chance at him again.... Two mornings latrer (oct 9th) my fiance and I "Rock, paper, scissor," who would hunt that morning and I won, we sat in our food plot with standing corn with soy beans with a 60 yrd shooting lane infront of me. Had a nice buck cross our shooting lane at 45 yrds (I was not comfortable making this shot and possibly just injuring the deer) after he left we decided to use the grunt call a few times and see if we could bring him in closer. no more than 10 minutes later we had a buck come in at 60 yrs and grunted again, came runnign in head down and everything and gave me a perfect 10 yrd shot! Needless to say when I tracked my buck and found him 2 hours later it was the boy I passed on 2 days prior. He's in my profile picture on the site, I'd say it was a great first buck ever, especially with my bow :]
  2. Glad to hear you are ok! There are some crazy people out there! But I know the scared shitless feeling you felt, this summer we were planting our food plots and I had some punk start shooting at me from about 100 yds away I hid in the floor of our atv mule and heard the bullets hit the tail gate where we were standing!
