My wife got it done today on her first buck ever a scrappy 9pt!   She passed up a spike and a 3pt last weekend and it paid off for her.

Today at 7:40 this guy came by at 30yrds on his way to my mock scrape and she smacked him perfectly.  He went about 75yrds and died under a log.    

She literally did everything except I chose the spot to sit and gutted the deer for her.  She saw the buck first, decided when to shoot on her own, and even found the blood trail after I lost it!!   So proud of her!!!

Thanks man. 19.5 " wide

Haven't seen him since his velvet came off till this Monday when he showed up on my camera looking at my mock scrape at 1230pm. I couldnt hunt Monday but made plans to hunt afterwork Tuesday on till either I got my shot or he stopped showing up on my cameras

Tuesday I got in my stand at 430 and didnt see any deer till about 6pm when I heard a buck grunting and pushing a doe around. I couldnt see bodies just legs through all the beech trees. They never came where I could see them.   Just as I pulled into my apartment complex I got a pic of him in my mock scrape again. It was about an hour after dark so I knew he was still in there!

Wednesday I got in my stand alittle later around 440 and there was actions right away.  I tried to set up my video camera but a screw fell out of the head so I couldnt use it.  I filmed a couple smaller bucks including a nice 2.5yr old 9pt and some does by hand held.  About 5 mins after 2 does came thru I heard grunting from behind me.  The buck circled me but I couldnt see it just heard the grunts.  Finally I saw him walking to my mock scrape gave him a couple grunts and he turned my way.  He walked right into 12yrds where I put a g5 montec through his heart. He piled up 75yrds away!

This took place on 15 acres in Genesee county that I have permission to hunt.  Its my 2nd mature buck in 3 yrs off that property.  The key is to not over hunt it and wait till they show up on camera.  Every buck in those woods hits my mock scrape at 1 time or another every season.

Really enjoyed the video!  Congratulations on his first buck!

Thank you!

We hunted my permission property in Bath and scored for his first NY buck!  His dad would be proud of him.   It won't let me post the link to the video just my channel.  Its the first video below the shorts

After a long slow bow season for me I was extremely happy when this guy came through the 2nd day of gun season.   He was hot on the doe and stopped at 75yrds in the only opening I had.   1 good shot is all it took he went less than 80yrds and piled up!   Now onto PA this Saturday for the opener and try to fill my buck tag there.     The video of Longspurs hunt and my hunt will be up soon on my youtube page Addicted Outdoors

Last day buck , opening day bucks.
Last day of Bow I got into the stand early. Around 7 I heard a doe blee .... But nothing that way. 30 min later I hear a stick break over that way and look. I see a doe with a nice buck behind her at 45 yards. He stood there for a hour and 45 minutes. Just standing there staring at me the whole time and he is upwind. I think he has me skylined . Not sure where the doe ever ended up going, but he walked five yards closer but then angled going away. But stopped quartered away Looking back hard at me. Now or never... I shoot and hit him perfect in front of the guts and to the opposite shoulder. He ran 80 yards and fell over .

Opening day I go to the same tree stand hoping that doe is still in that thicket. Well 650 in the morning I had a doe bust me and stand there only 1 thing to do now. Bang! A good hour and a half goes by . I hear something behind me and all I see is tines in the golden rod . He's following a doe no time to think I pull up and shoot. He does a loop and his antlers catch the ground and he flips dead on my pathway..... Unbelievable 2 years in a row last day of Bow opening day of gun same tree same spot.

Opening day afternoon hunt with the wife at my lease. We got to the blind and all set up , heater on , gun in the bipod took my hands off the bipod looked out the window and said there's your buck out there now LMFAO. She has an antler restriction bigger than a 4. Well he's bigger than 4. He's out at 132 yards . I said whenever your ready. Bang ! The deer runs 20 and falls over in the field !!!! Perfect heart shot !

Get away from the river. Go east or west your choice there are fish both ways. River to Braddocks bay or river to webster park. 2.0 to 2.2 speed do s curves every 100 yards. You will catch fish

Sshhh about the esmeralda bay rat. Your giving my secret bay rat pattern away. [emoji1787][emoji1787] Great job on the short shakedown!

Kayak shakedown today, fished from 11 to 1215. I got a new st croix 8.6ft with a pflueger spoiled up with 8 lb power pro to 8lb floro tipped with a Esmeralda Bay rat. Went two for two on browns. Some good colored water but the wind was too much to keep a good line. Lake water is 3 foot lower than last year. Trolling guys watch out for the rocks
