Yes it was...

[Geno C]

thanks guys, it was a fun hunt! it was one of the best hunts this year. i actually lost count on how many bucks i saw that day. my other spot where i have the big boys on cam has been EXTREMELY unproductive. they are there and keep showing up just not in the day. The spot where i took the 7 point is where i shot at and skimmed the top of that 130 class 8. both are great properties but the ones has just started to pick up. My buddy is out there this morning and said he has seen 5 bucks and 3 doe by 8am. 3 bucks were running doe he said. i am going to split some time between gun season this year, instead of my usual 1 week upstate, i will be up there for a few days and back on the island to try and fill that tag if i can. things are happening so late out here, i think that mild winter threw alot of things off balance.

Doe down!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Finally put one on the ground. Had to burn my either sex tag but i figure its the last night of vacation and i don't think i am really going to have a chance to get back out.

If i can get my flash to work on the camera i will get a pic up. Story to follow on my journal.

Congrats to every one else.

I filled my antlerless tag yesterday afternoon. It was in the 60s and I wasn't optomistic the deer would be moving, but around 4 pm I saw this young doe coming through the brush and goldenrod. She was acting super hawky and stood on the edge of the food plot forever before finally settling down and working her way into range. She came broadside at about 28 yards and I cut it loose, hitting her a little higher and further back than I intended but watched her crash about 80 yards away.

While breathing a sigh of relief from watching her crash I heard a few grunts coming from behind me and out comes a tall spike on a trot with his nose to the ground. He goes right to where the doe was standing at the the shot, then proceeds to walk down the same trail the doe ran off on, nose to the ground, grunting the whole way. He followed the trail right up to the doe's body before he realized she was dead. You could almost see him go "WTF?" it was pretty funny. He was not discouraged though, and he trotted off still grunting the whole way.

Congrats! You didnt have a DMP though? They can be used during bow season.

I posted a few weeks ago when I joined that I still hadn't gotten a NY deer since moving from MI, well after three years of NY hunting shot this Long Island public land doe last night.

30 yard shot, 30 yard recovery. Shes a young doe, but she will be tasty in time for Thanksgiving! Now the pressures off. lol

Few to no DMP's in that area. That is why I didnt put in for one in that area and why i have not hunted it.

I have four DMP's plus one that was signed over to me, just none for that area.

Here she is.

[deerpassion]

I know , I know, its not the monster of our dreams... but the big nine point that gave me the slip twice in the last 2 weeks did not show his face, and with this being the last day i could make it out for bow, I decided to put some meat in the freezer... i'll be back out for that 9, and he wont put the slip on me next time with the ML in my hand!

[Lawdwaz]

Nice going guys. There is nothing like archery hunting, enjoy it!

[Fantail]

Good Hunting everyone

Here's two from the season, good doe & a 6.

[TreeGuy]

Fantail, why is it i see that doe on the table and picture a bunch of rednecks sitting down with knives and forks and a towel wrapped around their neck gettin ready to dig in ? Lol. Congrats!

[Willie1973]

Shot last night. Third buck I had walk by in a 45 minute time span. He was the second biggest. The big boy lived to make it to Saturday. Good Luck and be safe this weekend.

[BigRed44]

First buck I've gotten with a bow. 7 point (should be an 8 but has broken brow tine) with 15 1/2" spread. Got him 11/9 at 9:40am.
