western NY bowhunter Posted September 28, 2006 Report Share Posted September 28, 2006 It always amazes me how adept those big ole mature bucks are at keeping a low profile, even when they are living right under your nose. To me, thats what makes them the ultimate N.A. big game animal. I had seen this guy a couple of times back in the middle of June and then he totally went underground and I hadn't seen him since. I finally got lucky last night and managed to catch him off guard long enough to get some video of him. I believe that I saw this deer last year a few times in the same spot and possibly have some video of him from '04. If he is in fact the same deer, I'm pretty sure he's a 5 yr. old...which is pretty darn old for a buck in one of the hardest hunted areas in the northeast. I'm not sure though, he doesn't seem to have the mass typical of a fully mature deer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun_300 Posted September 28, 2006 Report Share Posted September 28, 2006 Re: Nocturnal NY buck... Wow, that's a nice size buck! When they get to be that big I think they become smarter and don't come out until after shooting hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DSGB Posted September 28, 2006 Report Share Posted September 28, 2006 Re: Nocturnal NY buck... He didn't get that old by being stupid. He'll be tough to kill, no doubt. The rut will be your best chance. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
