Well, I made meat this morning. It was kind of interesting but trying. I got in about 6:15am. At first light I have a doe and fawn come into the apple tree I am watching and I decide to take the fawn, it is only about 10 yards but I am up pretty high. I draw anchor and shoot right over him, yes him it turns out to be a button, he come right under me and I decide not to shoot. Just than I look back and another fawn comes up the hill looking like "where did everybody go"? the deer turns and gives me a hard quartering shot, I draw pick my spot and release, sounds good but did not see my hit. The deer runs down past me and stops at about 22-23 yards. I see it is bleeding but up high, I than realized I shot thru its ear. It gets nervous and starts to walk broadside, I draw pick a spot and release, perfect this time, the arrow entered high in the shoulder and took out both lungs. I got down right away and started trailing, there was quite a bit of stomach contents so I was gonna back out, but replayed the shot in my head and I knew it was good. I followed the blood about 60 yards and found him laying there, yes him. It was another button, Mom must of had twin buck fawns. I was still happy as I have some venison for the table for me and Dad. No pics. Larry, you know me, I do not get much into all that stuff, maybe a big buck and I will show a pic. but that is about it! I will be back out at 3pm. for another try. I am shooting most anything as I have to have some pretty serious surgery the 20th. of Nov.. It is of the type that is pretty personal so I will not go into detail. Take care!! Shawn

I ended up hunting by myself, I had some climber issues. Damon(Nomad88) sat until 10:30 in his spot in the Catskills and did not see a deer. We are going in this afternoon around 3pm. in the bow only area. He is gonna sit the stand he got his first trad kill out of last year on opening day and I am gonna sit a new stand on a creek crossing. If this wind stays NNE we will be golden. Thanks guys, I hope to put a few more on the ground in the next month, as I do not know if I will be able to hunt after the surgery. Shawn

I had as shot this morning, hit a branch that I decided not to trim, I watched in horror as my arrow headed for the hind quarters thank God it missed all together. I saw 3 more bucks one 2 1/2 year old nice deer, then I heard talking I saw a couple Amish guy's marking my neighbors trees that kinda screwed thing up so I went home, getting ready for round two, I'm going to let that stand cool till Sun.

I made meat as well and got a nice doe . The doe went past Adam and he spooked her trying to get his bow up . After that she came down towards me , when she hit the deer dander I laid down on the way in she came right onto my lane . I hit a little back but looked good and watched as she ran 30 yards then stopped and looked around . she walked around some then looked wobblie and went down over the gully bank and crashed . I didn't hear any more noise but waited till Adam came down to get me . We went back to the house for coffee and waite it out some then back to look . We found her right at the bottom as I thought we would and after photo's and cleaning we dragged her out , all up hill both ways :0) Headed out soon and to hunt at Dad's , pics later . Drew

Well, we just got in, I saw 8 or 9 deer tonight and one nice buck but all 70 yards or farther away. I also had 9 or 10 longbeards t 35 yards for a while. Damon was into them something fierce,  I believe he saw 4 or 5 bucks and a couple does. He also dare I say? Missed, he had a spike come into about 5 yards but it was a tough angle trying to let his bow limb clear the stand. He sat a stand that I have killed 15 deer from over the years, when the apples are thick so are the deer. I also have soomething funny to tell. This morning while I was walking back to get my truck after leaving my deer by the roaed, curt Texted me. I texted back once and than said the hell with it and called him. While I was on the phone with him and standing at the back of my truck I see a nice buck walking across the field next to the farm house I hunt. I siad a quick goodbye and drove down the road to intercept this buck. He must of caught me as I rounded the hedgerow he was standing staring at about 60 yards, a very nice 9pt(125-130"). I hope to have a date with him tomorrow. Great day all in all! Shawn
