Put a nice eight down this morning. 16.5 inside. Came in up wind. 15yrd shot hit him a little back. Waited an hour before I followed him. Caught up to him laying down. Try to sneak up on him to put him down for good but off he went.Let it go for another half hour.Caught up with him. He was about fifteen yard above me. Put him down for good. I'll have a pix in day or so..Very cool. Great morning to be in the woods.

It has been very slow in Allegany County. The deer and I don't like all this warm weather(but at least I still show up in the woods!). Any bear sightings? They seem to be all over this year, but I have yet to see a track on my hunting grounds.

Awesome!!!! Lets hear the Story! I didn't see any deer this am. Great morning though. A friend of mine had a n eight point buck run off a six pointer. He sits about 100 yards from me.

Tdog · November 01, 2009, 06:31:00 AM

Kind of a bitter sweet day. Up in the stand at seven.Nice north wind.Put some james valley out on both sides of me before I went up. New stand site pinch point between two bedding areas.Just before nine had some does come in. As they where coming into the stand you could hear them crunching on the acords that was cool. At ten yards the lead doe looked right up at me. I did my best to hind behind my bow. It worked she step to my left went behind an oak. When she came out on the other side I let it go. I hit her a litte back but was sure I got liver. She ran off about forty yards. I could she the entrance wound and it looked go.Then she just walked off and the other does follwed.I figured I would give her an hour or more I was in to sitting all day. I was watching to the east cause thats the way the doe came from. had a couple more does comee in but got spooked and headed to the south. I continued to watch to the east think thats the way the bucks would come. Then just before Ten I caught movement to my left. Antlers! Grab the bow turned in the stand. He was rackin he's antlers on the over head branches of a hemlock tree.I could see he had at least three on one side which made him legal for this area. He came out about five yards and put one right in the boiler room. He took off and my knees just about gave out.I sat back down and replayed the whole morning in my head. Two deer in one day,cool.I waited about an hour got down. Collected all my stuff and went looking for the doe. Found good blood at first but then it just stopped. Did a couple sweeps of the area But nothing. Crap! So I started to track the buck. Follwed him for about fifty yards and found him laying down so backed out a little and was watching him.I figured I cold sneak up on him and put him down.Nope he got up and started to walk away.I let him go for a half hour cause there was good blood and figured he be dead. I started to track him again and was into it about a hundred yards when I lost the blood trail. I just happen to look up on the cliff and there he was standing there.So I put another one in himHe took off like a shot and I heard him crash.Went up in to get him and thats when I got a good look at his head gear.Took a couple pix dressed him out and went back to look for the doe. Spent the rest of the day looking for her no luck. Bitter sweet day..
