2012 Bow Hunting Harvest Thread

Well, since it was raining yesterday evening, I decided to take the night off from bowhunting to go after some turkeys that I'd been seeing. I hadn't been set-up for 5 minutes and a beautiful 3.5 year old 9-pt showed up. At one point he was only 15 steps from me. I know that I could have dumped him @ that range with a load of Hevi-13 to the neck!!! That SOB hung out within 25-30 yds for 25 minutes grunting and feeding on acorns before he crossed the gulley and headed up into the top vineyards. All I could do was sit there and watch him through the binos. A few minutes later I heard grunting and he came through hot on a doe's tail. She wanted nothing to do with him. I'm heading back there tonight with my bow...bet he doesn't show again...lol.

      Hey Everyone! This is Louis Backlas/ Cross Over the River Outdoors. I just posted a new video to my YouTube channel that I though ya'll might get a kick out of! Have you ever used a decoy to hunt whitetails? If you haven't before you might want to start! I woke up one morning and look out my front window only  to find that my 3D deer target was in pieces all over the front lawn! A fired up buck decided to take his frustrations out on the target!  this took place sometime in November during the peek of the rut. Hope ya'll get a kick out of it!

      Hey All,
      New to the forum, already missing the deer season and have curiosity to quell. This was a great non-typical I was chasing all season in a bow-only area of Ithaca. Anyone know or hear of a non-typical of this caliber being killed? I'll be out scouting for him aggressively soon enough. Thanks!

      Hello folks. I'm a novice hunter from almost Central NY. I live amongst the cow fields about 20 minutes south of the ADK park. I'm here hoping that I can learn from those who know more than I do. That's probably most of you. LOL. This is my second season and so far I still have all of my tags. I have a rifle but I'm not comfortable shooting it in the area I hunt due to people being near. I'm hoping to fill at least one of my tags before Dec 19.
