[HuntingNY-News]

This is my first buck and he's going on the wall, she said.

Rachelle Russell, of East Syracuse, proudly poses with an 8-point buck she shot recently in Georgetown.

She wrote: "I missed opening weekend (first two weekends, actually) of gun season this year because of a work trip that had me in the Netherlands.

" Friday morning (11/29), my husband and I get to our hunting spot and there he is, standing along a fence line in the field.

"We had him on game camera all summer long. We nicknamed him "Pincher" because his front points pinch together about 5 inches apart. He field dressed out to about 185 pounds.

"I've been hunting bow and gun for six years now. A lot of hard work, time, dedication, and passing up smaller bucks finally paid off. This is my first buck & he's going on the wall!!"
