Oh crap brother. Get well quick. Need anything I’m right down the street.

TY . No venison burrito needed. Thank goodness as long azz drag uphill . Called Gman as soon as buck hit the ground. Deer uber ( atv ) arrived shortly after . I don’t miss dragging those sobs at all

He's going to a very reputable taxidermist tonight. My first worthy of it. 2 nice'ish euros but this one is getting the treatment

Closed to covid. Saw on news other day

DDs ranch suggested also. Machias gun shop on 16? There’s a gun shop in Avon too.

It’s been a long agonizing year since archery opener October 1. I’ve quit and bitched too many x to count. 90 minute drive each way to Gman’s and my local spot 20 minutes. Not seeing anything and got deflated fast as burnt out and simply not having fun like it should be. Supposed to be my happy place and that happy was diminishing. Hunted til 10:15 yesterday on gun opener seeing a doe and 2 fawn. No shot on doe. Turned off alarm at 4 am this morning as forecast called for freezing rain and that doesn’t sound fun to sit in and adding to my aggravation. Car has bad ball joints and tires just so so. Making it not great to drive in predicted icy roads. Well I can hang outside Christmas lights but no the $300 in led lights we bought last year to last year’s barely light. Gman texts me roads ok and snow starting to cover the ground late morning. Snow ?! Quickly jump in car and on my way. Arrive by 10:15 and in stand by 10:57 am. Fairly long trek to old wooden platform stand I wasn’t sure I knew how to get to. Followed Greg’s directions and took a long walk. Cutting fresh tracks all the way in the new snow. Kicked up 2 tails on way. Found stand , climb up wooden ladder and quick to screw in bow hanger to hang gun. Put seat cushion down , plunk my fat ass down and hear crunch crunch. I look to my left shoulder and see horns at 30-35 yards. Quick grab the savage axis 7mm08 off hook and it’s still wobbling as only just put on hook. Quick on him . Bwaaa I let out a bleat to slow his slow bound uphill. Crap, quick snap up scope caps . He’s locked up and I’m on him. I squeeze trigger and sob I forget this ain’t my turkey gun with a trigger safety. Now thumb the safety off the top and give him another bwaaaa but he hasn’t moved. Squeeze and he bucks. Runs about 10 yards with two back leg kicks and expires. Holy crap! That really just happened?! I was in stand 90 seconds tops. From zero to hero literally in seconds. Got video of a spike trot by seconds later too. Call Gman and in a holy my voice in excitement said big buck down. He later said I could tell in your voice he’s nice. I honestly had no idea if big 6 or 10. Saw bone and went into the zone of he’s a keeper with no pass. Greg drives back with atv for the Uber. Thank goodness no drag back ! Quick measure and he may hit 125-130 gross. Broke the news to my wife he’s going on the wall. My best buck ever. Prior maybe 90” 8 point few years ago with daughters youth 20 gauge. Sam comes home Tuesday for full remote rest of semester until February. She’s got her buck tag and a doe tag. Now the pressure is off me lol. Again , sorry to be such an azz hat giving up but been rough past couple years losing my folks , brother and SIL plus this covid crap. I give up trying to post pics. Been having troubles for months. Have a bunch of him and a few trail cam pics too. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I did. Gman sent pics of fresh snow and I put it into overdrive to get here

Not him , different area but a big 8

BBD down. Story later.

Sat til 10 yesterday. Saw a doe and two fawn. No shot on doe. Turned alarm off at 4 this morning. I’ll skip and hang Christmas lights to appease the mrs tf . 90 minute drive and not seeing deer really took the fun outta hunting. . Congrats to everyone yesterday and good luck today.

There’s a buck I was trying for during bow. Like yesterday and today gun opens. So I can’t use my archery either sex tag until after gun ( regular ) season but still can hunt him with bow during gun but if I get him I use my gun tag and check weapon as bow. How’s that for interesting

Timmy’s on route 16 at around 5 am was nuts. So you didn’t score any plain donuts ?

Think it was taco tim . I’ve made them and they’re great

He’s said to be a 12 or 13. Didn’t hunt there. Can only use bow there do to houses.

Fixed it for u

I’m up. Walked past 3 sets of eyes at 20-25 yards. Green lens on headlamp lights em up good and second time I’ve done this and they sat tight. Good luck and be safe everyone

Ty for sending it

I’d be quick to get over it with those nice handles
