WNY, Still a nice big doe and a good shot.

Saw 2 small bucks all day and this guy runs in front of me on the way home. 130" 8 w/split brows.

So am I reading you right when I took it that this deer was harvested by your vehicle?

[sampotter]

It was more of a pinwheel than a harvest, but yes- hit him with my truck.

[WNYBuckHunter]

Thats a bummer sam. Gorgeous buck though. Gonna do a euro?

[sampotter]

Yup. Dad gave us boys a buck boiler last year. Heck of a 3 year old.

[erussell]

That sucks!!!

[phade]

Hopefully the truck is not too bad!

[genesee_mohican]

It's amazing....they can hear a pin drop in the woods, detect the slightest movement and leap a 6 foot fence with no problem........yet they can't get out of the way of a truck roaring down the road.

Hope your deductible isn't a large one...but nice buck...hope you at least got some meat out of it

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.

Congrats peas, and good luck finding mr. big stuff. I would say your right about things getting rollin' real soon. Have been seeing some cruisin' during the mid-afternoon. Lets hope the weather stays calm so we can get after them..

[Guns&ReligionCop]

This came in to my doe estrus bleat 3x's. The 3rd time was its last time!

[joe12]

Nice fox G&R Cop! Good shooting! That would make a nice full body mount.

[Guns&ReligionCop]

Joe that was my original thought but the grim reaper made a hole thru that little thing the size of baseball. I'm just pelting it out instead

[JonathanStrange]

While it wasn't harvested with a bow, I thought everyone would appreciate this.guy. He was struck by a car in shortsville, and weighs approximately 300 lbs.

Cheers
