NYBUCK Posted October 18, 2004 Report Share Posted October 18, 2004 It was a real tough week-end for me. Thursday left work at 3:30 and hunted North at the camp where we had the get together. Never saw a thing. Did see a deer in the field across the camp when I was leaving. Friday was the opening for our archery season in the Southern teir. AM sat till 10 and saw absolutely nothing. PM did see 6 doe but none in range. The rain started Friday night and never stopped the rest of the week-end. Saturday AM saw one doe and one small buck. They never presented a shot. Saturday PM sat in my climber in a thunder a lighting storm and saw one deer. Crazy weather. Sunday AM went to another new stand that I thought would be pretty good and saw one deer off in the distance. Sunday afternoon hung two more stands in new areas. Sunday PM is when it gets interesting. I sat in yet another stand while the rain kept poring down. My brother - n - law was set up about 1000 yds from me in a real nice spot. At about 5:30 I heard his 4 wheeler start up, then it stopped and then it started a few minutes later. I figured he must have got something cause he is not one to get out of the woods at prime time even in the rain. So when I heard him go by my stand and get to his house I called him and he said he got a little one. I sat for a little while longer and then had to get down. Went back to his house and in the garage sat a nice 9 point 16 1/2 in spread. But the best thing about this buck was that it tipped the scales at just over 200 lbs. We had to take it to a couple establishments where we are in buck contest and the official weight came in at 202 !!!!! Wow. This was huge for our area. I am really happy for him. he hasn't killed a buck in 3 years in NY so he deserved it. We have been passing up small bucks and hopefully it is paying off. I took a bunch of pics and soon a s I get them developed I will post them. Now I need to put some meat in the freezer or the wife is going to kill me. I am a little discouraged at what I saw or rather what I ddin't see this week-end but hopefully that will change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
