Missed a monster yesterday morning.The kind of buck you see once every ten years or so and I shot under him.No pics of him om my cameras or my neighbors.Rut they just show up ! Seeing more movement now so maybe I'll get another chance at something decent. Good luck to all .

That sucks Marvin, I did the same thing a week and a half ago on a small 8 pt broadside to me at 25 yards. I went home and practiced shooting for a couple hours and redeemed myself by shooting a coon in the head at 20 yards . It never surprises me how hard those things are to kill. I have a agreement with the farmer that I will shoot some of the coons because of the crop damage that they do.

Thanks Charlie unfortunately that coon ran down into the swamp where I couldn't recover him. I know he is dead he did that god awful growl that they do for about 25 seconds then all was quiet. To ad insult to injury I never recovered my Eclipse broadhead or arrow. By the time it was all said and done I figure I was out well over 20 dollars so much for helping out the farmer. I now carry a "coon " arrow made up of old carbon express arrows I no longer use.

Been a wet morning but agree with more activity.  
Marvin sorry about your miss. Those bigger ones seem to have a force field or some voodoo they put on a guy.... they seem easy to miss when the shouldn’t be.

Congratulations Bob and Jim, after a season and a half and almost a year of not shooting my trad bows because of tendinitis in my elbows. I have finally been shooting enough to be confident enough to hunt with a recurve again. I have been out three times with my Bob lee hoping to get a shot soon.

Saturday's all day sit produced a few sightings but no shots. Saw a very large-bodied 8 in the AM. Things are finally picking up!

I'm back in Pa.  Had a super 3 days in NY.  No venison brought home, but I saw the two biggest buck I've seen in the woods, a 9 and 10 pointer.  Watched the 10 ptr. mount a doe twice.  A first for me.  Been closer to doe than ever in my life without spooking them.  Had a doe at 10 yds broadside unaware of me, but already made up my mind not to shoot.  A very good experience.  Hope to do 2 more days in NY next week.  Bob, I believe you were heading to camp when I was on my way home.  Next time.
