went out this afternoon for the last few hours. Our shotgun season here in Ny ends sunday nite followed by muzzleloader season. Well the snow was falling, pretty night , no cameraman proding me to do this or that ......just hunting . At 420pm a big body 7pt strolls in the field at 1st I thought let him go another year, he will be a definte shooter next year. Then I thought no... Im hunting, he's a great buck and will be great on the grill..
The CVA barked and he crumpled after 50 yd run. I was like a little kid all shook up walked up to him and thought this is why we do it!! The rush, the pretty snow falling and a great NY buck. Unfortunately I had no camera with me for pics, but thats ok Ill remember this night for along time. It was like the nicest night in a while getting back to the basics of hunting . I even took him the processor ( I usually butcher myself) but my daughter had her 1st home game as a varsity cheerleader and I made it in time , a very special day for me all in all.
