Took a four on Saturday Afternoon. 18' ladder in an abandoned orchard on a hillside. At 2:30 I opened a can of Tinks 69 Buck-Bomb that I dropped under the stand to fog up the orchard. About every 20 minutes or so I doe bleated. At 4:10 I spotted the buck 50 yards off to my left with his nose to the ground and his ears back. He was tending grunting right into the stand. I drew my Bear Strike and waited for him to come into 20 yards. At 20 he gave me a quartering-to shot, I grunted once to stop him. I pulled the trigger and sent a Rage 2 Blade broadhead through both of his lungs. He turned and ran up the hillside. About two seconds later I heard a crash.

The spot where he stood when I shot him was engulfed in blood. The entire trail up to him was more like a crime scene than an orchard. He was only 50 yards from the stand, he only ran 30 yards after the Rage opened a 2" wide hole in his chest. He dressed out at 125 pounds. My only complaint is that he snapped my Harvest Time HT2 arrow when he ran through the orchard.

He was the 7th deer I had come into bow range that day.

      3D Target Demolished!
      By CrossOvertheRiverOutdoors
      Hey Everyone! This is Louis Backlas/ Cross Over the River Outdoors. I just posted a new video to my YouTube channel that I though ya'll might get a kick out of! Have you ever used a decoy to hunt whitetails? If you haven't before you might want to start! I woke up one morning and look out my front window only  to find that my 3D deer target was in pieces all over the front lawn! A fired up buck decided to take his frustrations out on the target!  this took place sometime in November during the peek of the rut. Hope ya'll get a kick out of it!

      Seen this deer?
      By GetEmDrake
      Hey All,
      New to the forum, already missing the deer season and have curiosity to quell. This was a great non-typical I was chasing all season in a bow-only area of Ithaca. Anyone know or hear of a non-typical of this caliber being killed? I'll be out scouting for him aggressively soon enough. Thanks!

      Almost Central NY
      By JBones
      Hello folks. I'm a novice hunter from almost Central NY. I live amongst the cow fields about 20 minutes south of the ADK park. I'm here hoping that I can learn from those who know more than I do. That's probably most of you. LOL. This is my second season and so far I still have all of my tags. I have a rifle but I'm not comfortable shooting it in the area I hunt due to people being near. I'm hoping to fill at least one of my tags before Dec 19.
