Congratulations! Didn't realize you were in my neck of the woods! Great story, will be a hunt to remember for a long time coming.
BradC36, Thanks for this thread. I'm also a New York hunter (Orange County), in a high pressure area, in the stand a dozen times so far, with no shooters in site. Yesterday was reaching 70, And not a site of deer. I read This thread on the stand and told myself to wait as long as possible. At 6pm, I slowly started packing. Real slow, with this thread in mind. Sure enough, just as I'm about to lower the bow, I hear a grunt 60 yards Away. NY bow buck down. Thanks for the inspiration
That made my day, CONGRATULATIONS ON A GREAT BUCK!!! Glad I could be of any inspiration what so ever!
