    I put a buck down for us last night boys. He's my biggest to date I'm still riding that high, pics to follow. And I'll get him scored soon as I get the head back.

    Thanks guys. It was an unbelievable afternoon. I was just about a to draw on a doe and he stepped out and headed my way. I was hunting in an area for my number 2 hit lister that would go in the upper 40's, but something kept telling me to take this one. I've been bowhunting for 15 years and now taken four bucks. 2 button bucks, a small 6 pointer 7 years and now this guy. Forgot how good it felt to get your hands on some bone!

    That's a dandy buck, Buk. Congratulations on your hunt, I think you made a good decision to take him.

    Cotton, man, what bummer. Hey, you are not the first to hit a branch. Hope you have better luck next time.
    Still nothing for me. I let the doe's and turkeys walk this past weekend. Was hoping for some bone to walk by.

    Sorry to hear that cotton. Keep your head up, I know that's easier said than done.

    Well after missing two deer over the past 4 days was getting depressed and want to know what was up

    So went to the range and shot

    My bow was dialed in opening day and I took two does that day

    Since then I have missed two other deer

    My bow was now shooting 8inches low and 4 inches right

    Lesson learned now guys always check your gear and I will be paying more attention to my gear during the season and not take anything for chance

    finally caught up to a buck in NY.. very little buck activity on cameras. Not much happening at all during daylight.. and not a pic of a mature buck at all in over 2 months or running the cam.
    I took the first buck that finally came in and gave me a shot.. couldn't be happier... lots of time and hard work just to see this buck... let alone shoot it. He'll taste good anyway.
