Well done CAPT!. He's gonna make some good eating. Nice story and pics. I like the play by play on the pics. Congrats again. You did a great job on selecting your location and using the terrain to your advantage.

Nice buck, congrats!

Nice deer. Congrats. Good pics too.

This downed tree just to my left funnels the deer nicely:


The small flat below, since I'm on a sidehill the deer end up about 40 feet below me:


Nice view from the stand as the sun was going down:

NY Rifle Season Tag Filled with MY Martin

The Northern Zone NY rifle season started Oct. 20 and runs for 44 days, bucks only; I have been hunting it with my bow only for several years now. Was out for my second hunt since I returned from Ohio Wednesday evening, all set up 33' feet up a nice oak by 3pm. Around 4:15 with the sun setting I spotted a couple deer feeding their way up from below me. A third deer approached and the two does ran right up under me; they sniffed around a little, I had the tarsal glands from my Ohio buck hanging right there. As they fed off to my right the third deer stepped out 50 yds to my left and I could see antlers. One grunt and he immediately turned and headed right to me; I drew when he was 15 yds out, he came right to the tree with the tarsal and started pawing the ground. With his head down I centered the pin between his shoulders and released.... MISSED HIM.... must have hit a small branch at that range. I grabbed another arrow, nocked it, reset my Ripcord rest, attached my release and drew; in that time he did a small loop and was standing right there broadside sniffing. This time I drilled him with Rocket Steelhead, he crashed off and I heard him go down in about 100 yds. A nice 2 year old Adirondack 6 pointer, got it on video, too.
