longislandhunter Posted October 20, 2005 Report Share Posted October 20, 2005 Due to family and work responsbilities I've only been out hunting once since the season opened Oct. 1st but today I got in the woods way before dawn for day #2 and got set up in my favorite tree. At precisely 8:12 a big bodied 8 pointer materialized, crossed a fire road and stepped in front of my stand offering me a 20 yard broadside shot. The 100 grain thunderhead struck home, and after a long hour and 30 minute track, through some of the thickest brush I've ever had to bust through, I found him and began the long haul out of the woods. The temps were in the 60's all day so I butchered him up as soon as I got him home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

longislandhunter Posted October 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2005 Re: First tag of the season filled. There definately are bigger ones in the woods I got this deer out of, I see them at night when I working, but so far haven't had one walk by in daylight. As for the weight of the deer I took this morning,,, I didn't weigh him and I've never been good at guesstimating weight,,, but to get him out of the woods I had to resort to leaving him in the woods and driving back home to get my game cart because I was having a really hard time trying to drag him. It was the first time I ever used my game cart since I bought it several years ago, but it sure saved my back today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
