WNY Bowhunter

Oh man, got a form picked out yet?

Was sent the pic too...your score estimate is right on. Giant of a buck.

That's good, I was getting worried about you two. Haven't had any meetups in the Runnings parking lately, was wondering if you guys had taken up golf now instead of deer hunting lol?! Joking of course. Congrats to the kid, I'm sure one of you will follow suite shortly!

Good luck!

David just turned 14, right? Break out the bolt action in the morning...lol.

I like how his beams curl up...pretty cool deer

I agree. At this point I was just grid searching some nasty thick stuff so I didn't even take my bow along. When I walked up to him he was was just laying there on his side, moving his head around a little bit, barely breathing...he was all but dead. I would never attempt to stick a knife into a deer that was still alive and thrashing wildly.

My 10/5 buck...

It may have gotten it...he was just a mess inside. I had a long drag it across a deep ravine so I didn't spend too much time analyzing the damage.

Expandable...Sevr 1.5"

Entrance, quartering away... Exit...

Shot from same stabdmy wife shot hers out of opening night. This guy was at one of the borderline shooters but I couldn't pass him up at 23 yards. Actually hit him back a little in the liver. Found him this morning still alive 14 hours later! I was down to the last section of brushy scrubby stuff to check and heard some strange growling and thrashing by this big white pine tree in the brush. I could see the top of saplings moving around I first thought was that scavengers had found the deer. I went in and found the buck laying there but he was still barely alive. Ended up dispatching him by stabbing him in the heart. Holy crap, what an ending to that ordeal...

Last night...

Gonna be a quick turnaround time on this one. Hope it scores me some bonus points! Lol

My wife's buck...

Thanks. She was pumped, especially after a couple of close calls on big bucks last year. That was the buck I had in mind when I told her to sit there last night. It's too bad that I will have to be the designated hunter for the rest of the season now LOL!

Yep...

Got some dragging to do...

In my option based on those two pixely photos...same buck.

I've go a new electric hoist in my garage that I need to break in...

All shot by family, same property?
