congrats Jeff

Thanks Drew.Just want to say congrats to everyone else who's taken a deer so far...Jim,Izzy,Sean etc.My computer has been acting up the last couple days so I haven't been on.Good hunting everyone and let's hear those stories!

Can't wait to see your buck and hear the story Jeff.  I'm sure it's a good one.

Looking forward to hearing the story Jeff, congratulations.

Congrats Sean!

Congrats Jeff! Looking forward to  the pictures and story.

My buddy shot a Magnum Doe with a Damon Howatt he picked up a week ago. wish he would hang here more often to share.

I saw 6 deer Saturday in the wind.  the first one winded me as the wind had changed and she too a trail i was hoping she wouldn't. then the other three were spooked from somewhere else and came running through.  With the wind swirling so bad, I decided to leave early and set up a stand elsewhere. I saw 2 more on the way out just prancing around ina  CRP field.

Congrats Izzy, Sean and Jeff!!

I've been seeing deer every morning that I've been out. been side-lined since Friday with the flu so keep them stories and pics coming.

Congrats guys!

Congrats to the guys that scored so far!

I was out on Saturday and had a spike under me and than a little 4 pointer at 15 yards. a little while later I had a doe coming in and got busted by some wind swirling. She didn't stop blowing for a 1/2 hour. lol

In the evening I had basket rack 8 come right by me. What a great day. We can basically shoot unlimited does on LI so I'm going to hold out for them for meat and try to get this big 8pt I have on camera.

Haven't been on in a while. Congrats again Jim!!! Congrats also to Sean, Jeff & Izzy if I have it right. No luck here but that can change quickly. Keep it coming guys.

Congrats to everyone who has had success.  I never saw a deer today.  I'm really struggling this year.  I keep telling myself that it's early and things will start picking up soon.  I have never seen so few deer.

Congratulations Jeff    I did fill another doe tag on Sat. waiting on a buck now.

Congrats again Jim. Things are getting crazy here. Lotsa deer getting hit on the roads and making scrapes in the woods.

And yet another NY deer! This was killed by Dennis Sciccitano "Shick" from PA on a recent NY hunt. Beautiful doe and bow.

Congrats again Shick!

Hey Shick, nice job, congrats!!!!!

Nice deer Shick  

Nice deer Shick..................

Thanks guys.  I was hunting just a little south of Bath.  My buddy Tim wanted me to bring a Bear takedown up since he was going to be using his A mag.  Thought about the mag, but decided to take the '70B along for the trip.  The bow did what is was made to do.  I look forward to NY every year.  Good luck to all.

Sunday night the wind was right for a spot I hadn't hunted in at least a week.On the walk in I jumped a red fox that hopped up on a log at 20 yards or so.This started a stare off that lasted a couple minutes and when I finally moved,it did also a couple yards.This went on several times until he moved down the hill toward the way I was going and finally it had enough and ran off.

I made my way to a tree that was on an evening travel route between a bedding area and the stream and fields below.About a half hour before dark 3 does and 2 fawns came by just out of range so all I could do was sit and wait.About 20 minutes later,I heard movement and a minute later a buck stepped through the stonewall and after a couple minutes of him nosing around for acorns he offered me a 10yd. shot.The hit looked good and as he bolted up the hill he staggered to the right and went down.He hadn't gone 40 yds. and was dead in seconds.

I stood there a moment to take it all in,and thought about the red fox.It was as if we had a understanding between and us and a respect that only predators can have for each other...Or maybe I'm just a 'nut' spending to much time by myself in the woods.HA!   :D

Great Jeff, congrats!!  I've been waiting for your pics and story. Great buck!!

Nice looking buck.....congrats sir.
