In case anyone is interested, by day three, I will also be still hunting the thick stuff.  

 

I'll be using my Marlin 336 in .35 Rem with a Leupold fixed 2X and 200 grain Winchester Silvertips when doing so.

Now, now guys. Just because NY State is the only state that has a turd hanging off the bottom is no reason to pick on the people who choose to live on said turd. They have feelings too ya know.

As long as I'm not tired she is...it's open bead sight   ...but really it's all in experiance  and timing the buck in the picture and many others...I actually never "aimed at"... nor I do  skeet shoot at deer...which I've actually watched here...but if they are coming in"hot" and under 60yrds knowing I'd never stop them.......I will judge trajectory, as it were. of their movement...then swing infront of them by quiet a bit to a clear opening and wait...the second their head hits my bead I will squeeze off the shot..the out come is as you see or the shoulder...mostly though It's a standing shot looking away...
