    Was on stand at 7 and for the first couple hours I saw nothing. Around 930 I had a couple young bucks chasing does on my right. They all came towards the stand and turned and went back west. Wind was perfect, the didn’t see or smell me, it was just the direction the doe took. Right shots out of that tree suck, lots of brush and tree branches. 
    At 1030 I was about to get down, rain was close. Next thing I knew the buck came from the same direction as the others. I could tell right away he was a shooter for me, at least 3 and 1/2. Hoped he would come across but like the others he turned. I took a very quick 25 yard shot through some brush and was horrified to see the arrow hit very high and very back, the Luminock sticking up out of his back as he ran off. 
    I was disgusted with myself. 
    I got down and decided to see if there was blood. No reason to look for the arrow, it was painfully visible as he ran off. I walked to where I hit him and found blood, tons of it. I followed the blood with my eyes and saw him on the ground!  I backed out and called Tommy who met me and helped with the recovery. Better to be lucky than good sometimes!

    Well one year ago to the day I was going back to the hospital for the 2nd time from covid. Fast forward one year and I'm out enjoying my life hunting and fishing and I have a fantastic whitetail buck on the ground. This deer has consumed my thoughts since the summer. We have watched him grow. Got videos of him loosing his velvet. Lots of pictures of him. Have videos of him checking out what I was doing in the woods. Spent most of the first month playing cat and mouse with him and he always had the upper hand. And finally we crossed paths and I sealed the deal! This deer is super meaningful and rewarding to harvest after all the hard work. Here's some awesome pictures of him!received_515071363809644~2.jpgreceived_486355443274625.jpgreceived_1180629606133985.jpgIMG_20221101_021328380.jpg373a35e9-933b-4eee-b506-d5f9193b6063.jpg4c5e0437-732e-4b3f-acf6-05d36eb014f8.jpg129938.jpg

  4. BBD!!!! What can I say , I’d rather be lucky than good . After a early season grind my best day in woods would be one hr in stand . Had to run down to camp drop off ten bags of coal, figured I’d sit till dark if I could get in by 3 . My plan was to sit in a stand on the edge of a 1000 acre swamp in a travel corridor to water , boy was I right . Playing on my phone heard another squirrel, I thought, and looked up and 30 yards from me coming directly to me wind in my face and sun in his eyes. I made power moves to put glasses away phone in my pocket one handed grab bow off hanger while watching this guy on a mission, while sitting drew on him and stopped him at 15 yards Mabee… let her fly . The rest is history, now to get the kid a buck Saturday. GOODLUCK to all . Water will be key in these upcoming days of heat .

    I lost my Dad, October 12 due to Covid and the Hospital protocols. He was my hunting buddy for 45 years. He was the finest rifle shot I have ever known. Through those years I chased hundreds of deer out to him, in Pennsylvania. He was an expert at hitting running deer, and I can only think of several times he missed over 45 years. More than that, he was a very fine man and friends to so many. He was 84 and still active. He taught me how to hunt. He taught me how to live and treat others. If your Dad and Mom are still living, don't take it for granted. Visit often. Call often. Sincerely, Garry Mitcham of Clarence NY.
