2015 HuntingNY Archery Harvest Thread

[chiefbkt]

It only took 8 weeks but I was finally able to connect. Sat in my ground blind tonight. She came out at 3:20 walking through the tall grass. Was at 10 yards at one point but I had no shot. She finally cleared and turned broadside at 36 yards. The Obsession bow and Rage broadhead did the rest. She ran about 40 yards and piled up from the double lung shot. Glad to finally get one on the ground! Let's hope it's all down hill from here. She dressed out at 105 lbs.

Got into my stand early as i was hunting state land and it's first one in gets the spot....took a drag rag soaked in tinks.

By 715...had only seen a small doe and squirrels. ..decided I would use my grunt call ...just lightly. I then checked my phone for peak times and it said 7:41 am til 10:50am....looked at clock on my phone and it read 7:41...IT WAS THEN....I heard a branch break directly behind me. . I slowly turned what seemed like forever to see antlers ..now I have to put my phone away and get my glasses on without this buck who is 10 yards behind me seeing any movement...I used the trunk of the tree for cover then clipped my release on my bow string and began slowly turning again....

He is looking for the grunt call he heard..

He starts to walk away quartering perfect at 15 yards ... I drew back my bow.. Picked my spot and waited and as he reached my spot I stopped him with a "mah"....released my arrow to see it hit him perfectly in the shoulder and he ran out of sight with the arrow sticking out just barely....

After an hour of waiting I got down and while searching for blood I heard someone say HEY...... I looked up and said where are you ?

Another hunter waved his arm in a tree 60 yards away.... He says your deer is right in front of me where have you been come and get him...I jumped with exitement...

Funny part was ...i never knew the other hunter was there he was a hunter from Maine who heard me stop the deer heard the bow release watch the deer run right towards him and died in front of him what an experience...

Sorry so late with story
