NYAZHunter Report post Posted November 26 jAfter missing a buck in the October hunt in Az , I headed to the cabin in New York for the opening week of rifle season in Sullivan County. Saturday morning , opening day , was in the low 30’s and sunny. Get in the stand around 7 and 3 does came out of the Laurel around 8:30 , one ended up bedding down 39 yds from the stand. The other a bit farther away. Head in for some lunch and back in the stand by 1 , the girls reappeared and fed their way under the stand. They milled around all afternoon and were not overly excited with my leaving the stand at 4:30. Sunday morning , similar conditions , and around 8:45 , I see a single deer off to my left behind some laurel and scrub oak. Pull up the binoculars and see antlers. Turns out to be , eastern count, 5 pt. ( we are in an antler restriction zone, minimum 3 pt one side to be legal), I aim at an opening between 2 trees , pull the trigger , and he is off like a shot over an incline into a bowl. I heard him crash. Went about 100 yds before piling up. Field dress and back to the cabin. Weather changed and had rain all day Thursday, turning to snow around 8 pm and snowing for the next 20 hours. About 14/16” snow. Hard walking for sure. I apologize in advance for the haphazard nature of the attached photos. 11 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PRDATR Report post Posted November 26 Congratulations on having some meat for the freezer. My nephew was out this past weekend in Delaware County but got skunked. His buddy did get a rather large doe thought. He got a nice blackbear there last year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
