Shawn Posted January 2, 2006 Report Share Posted January 2, 2006 Theres no way i can complain about this years hunting season. Many people in new york had mixed reviews about seeing deer and the entire season. i hunt mostly in Putnam and Dutchess counties. i saw alot of deer mostly does and fawns. Few small bucks, lil forkhorn and spikers. i did get lucky by getting the chance for these two bucks to come across. Oct 26, 2005 at 5:10pm this buck came straight out of the swamp behind me as i was watching a doe and 2 fawns on a plateau. he was on a mission and was walking a straight line quartering away. i shot him at 30 yards with my Jennings airmaster bow and he ran 40 yards and stopped and dropped. Hes a 9 point, 5 on right 4 on left and had an inside spread of 18 inches. This buck i shot on Nov 25, 2005 at 7:40 am. it was a cold morning, about 12 degrees, and the wind made it feel worse.The ground was frozen, so you could hear him walking way before i saw him. he started walking up a ridge and stop broadside at 65 yards. Aimed my remington 1100 12 gauge and fired. he hunched up and ran up and over the ridge. I waited ofr my father to come over which took about 15 minutes. Only to find he expired as soon as he went out of sight. He ran a total of about 50 yards. i took the took of his heart right off with the 1 oz piece of lead. Beautiful 8 point. Only 9 months 13 days till bow season again....lol. Thanks for looking everyone and good hunting.i wouldve like to gotten a shot at one of the many does i saw but it never came around, guess ill have to wait till next year to get the pepperoni and salami made. take care folks and happy new year.

Born2Hunt Posted January 2, 2006 Report Share Posted January 2, 2006 Re: My 2005 season in review Nice deer Shawn! Two nice deer like that in one season in NY is uncommon.I believe with QDM and some sort of antler restrictions seasons like yours would not be out of reach for anyone living in NY.
