Awe crud, I just remembered something..........this deer was shot in 8H, NOT 8N.  I did change the date on the card but not the area.  The tag is correct though.

[WNYBuckHunter]

Thats fine. 10 points! Congrats on the doe!

[landtracdeerhunter]

Nice shot, congrats!

[Lawdwaz]

Shot a six point at 10am in the rain.

[Lawdwaz]

Oops. Sorry for the flipped pick........I'll see if I can straighten it out.

[BizCT]

Well I'm glad someone got a deer this morning. All I got was wet clothing and shotgun.Still better than being at work though.Congrats.

[Lawdwaz]

I'll tell more of the story (and it ain't much of a story) tomorrow night.

[Red]

Congrats

[adkbuck]

Not a pleasant morning to be hunting. Congratulations.

[Lawdwaz]

He is only a 5 point.......NOT a six point as I stated above.  I put a B&C tape to him tonight and  the one brow tine is less than an inch.

I got on stand around 7am Saturday morning.  A light cold rain was falling.  We still had a little patchy snow remaining in the area.  I dressed very different for this hunt; different wool pants that I wouldn't have to worry about wearing later in the day, normal three layers of long johns on top with a fleece shirt then a gray Gore tex coat.  I took two hats, one orange baseball hat and one heavy wool hat. 

 

Between the rain and melting snow it was pretty lousy but I have sat in worse.............a doe and a fawn came by around 8am.  I saw nothing else and decided to split around 10am.  After climbing down I wanted to take a peak at an area loaded with oak trees and check to see if the deer were still hitting them.  I went slowly about 60 yards south west of my stand and was scanning down below and spotted a deer broadside about 60 yards away.  It was on alert and after about 30 seconds snorted and spooked down the hill, THEN I could see the horns!.  I mooched (I ain't no injun' ) down the hill in the direction the he fled and only went about 50 yards when I spotted him about 75? yards further down the hill.  I only had a 1" diameter sappling in front of me for a rest and it wasn't in the right spot for me to lean on.  I grabbed it and bent it over enough for me to get the crosshairs on his chest and then lit the wick.

 

I figured the shot was on but he blasted down the hill and out of sight PDQ..........It only took me a few minutes to find him.  The shot was true.  I called my wife to let her know and then my buddy to arrange a pick up on the lower road in 30 minutes. 

 

Although I was pretty sweated up from the drag we went for a hardy breakfast in Livonia.  That coffee tasted especially good!

 

He's no hog but for the second last day of rifle I am happy as a clam...........

[DirtTime]

Nice buck. Like I said, you got this one.

[Lawdwaz]

Oh yea, the important things...........7mm-08 ULA, 120gr Barnes TSX and HuntingNY.com hat for dragging only!  (I had to make a trip back up to my truck to shed some clothes, gun, binos etc. and figured I'd toss that hat on)

 

I had my orange vest on for the drag down the hill but took it off when I got near the road, I had a house near me and didn't need to advertise the deed.

[wooly]

Very nice!

Looks like you and Joey Martin will be arm wrestling for top prize.

Poor kid,lol

[DirtTime]

Joe has the "Youth". Law should have the main one hands down.

 

8 days left though...

[Terry]

What brand or maker is that knife?

[Lawdwaz]

It is a Gene Ingram knife.  S30V steel............

[Red]

Very nice job and a hell of a season

[Nomad]

Ingram, Chris Reeve Sebbie Nice!

I've a couple Striders, Hinderer , a couple custom FB, 100 year old Marble , pre 64 Puma White Hunter, to many production to list .

Would like a Dozier but the wait is 3 years.......

The CR is just a wonderful folding knife.  Surprised you remembered!  I have Puma game Warden, circa 1975 or so.  Great knife too but I haven't used it in 30 years.

 

I've had a few Dozier knives but only have one now, a straight personal IIRC.  I'd really like a Jerry Halfrich LB 5 but that isn't in the cards for the forseeable future.

[Pygmy]

Good work, Larry..

Always great when you score on the 11th hour...

I noticed that the bolt is on the wrong side of your rifle.

Must have developed the negative backwards...

[Terry]

I am currently using a Dozier. Check out Arizona custom knives and vintage knives. They both sell Doziers. You have to check their sites daily and get lucky enough to catch what you want, but it beats a 2-3 year wait

[WNYBuckHunter]

Congrats Lawdwaz! 15 for that one!

[2012_taco]

Congrats, your freezer must be almost full!!
