    2022 Hunting NY Bow Harvest Thread

    in Bow Hunting

    Freezer is starting to get full !!! The buck was following a doe all the way down a tall hill towards me, she crossed upwind in front of me going to the bottom after I used the grunt tube to try and get the buck to change direction. It seemed as if she was very interested in the grunt and investigating it, the buck wanted absolutely nothing to do with it. He ultimately followed her path reluctantly and I double lunged him 15 yards away. Clear pass through, no blood at shot sight, only fur and I couldn’t find arrow. Went about 40 yards. I don’t think I would’ve gotten a shot without using that grunt tube, which I very rarely use. I also used it on the way in to mimic a buck thrashing through the woods and I had 2 bucks come investigate in the dark. Had I not done that I would’ve never made it to this spot because of the wind, without blowing a ton of deer out. Shot around 8,8:15 November 8. Not the biggest rack but plenty of meat and man that was an exhilarating hunt!

    Hey Gang I'm back in. No luck tonight. I didn't even find a spec of blood. Had two people help me out. I'm going back in the morning and try again. Such a shame. I get the entry was high but it should of clipped lungs and he would of blew blood out nose and mouth?

    The deer I shot yesterday I double lunged and there was no blood at point of shot it was weird. It zipped right through I couldn’t find arrow either! Deer went about 40 yards and it looked like a massacre where it died. Similar shot angle to yours but I shot slightly lower, here is the exit wound:

    Ok, I’ll play...

    So I shot a deer today, maybe the best deer ever, a spectacular deer, quite amazing actually, a tremendous deer. That’s what they say anyway, we’ll see. Could be the best deer ever. I don’t know? We’ll have to wait and see. I can tell you that it was a big deer, maybe the biggest ever. We’re going to wait until tomorrow to recover the deer, a really good deer. Could be the best deer ever. The shot was good, looked good, looked great, really great...actually. But the experts say we should wait. We’ll see. Fake news, those killers back there won’t tell you it’s a good idea to wait, but we know. We’re going to wait and do the right thing, the best thing. Trust me, tomorrow we will have a great deer in the truck, perhaps the best deer ever. But they won’t report it, they won’t tell you what a great deer it is.
    THE DONALD.

    Hows that?

    Back out for the afternoon sit. Maybe a little early but that's fine by me. Had a red fox trot by already. Does anyone else stand the whole time in their treestand or ladder stand and not sit? Always afraid I'm going to miss something or get busted standing up if I sit.

    I do both. I am always nervous when I'm sitting though,  head on a swivel. I'll usually stand an hour after sunup and an hour before sundown
