Alright Guys,
I will have to say a lot of friends have helped me get my first deer with a bow..
I have been bow hunting 21 years. At first I just wanted to get a deer but after my friends were killing big ones I started passing chip shots. I have seen hundreds of deer walk pat me. Since I moved to NY I found a new passion Archery! Its not that I hadn't been shooting, I was. I had a compound and lost interest. Fast forward a few years after rediscovering how much fun a stick and string could be..... Now I am an addict. This is the second deer I have shot at with a trad bow. ( the first was last week and I wounded that one). ((well actually the first was when I was 12 with a bear grizzly))
So I have been having a hard time seeing deer or deer movement on this small farm I received permission to hunt on this year. I have put in a lot of time but think the deer only pass through and mostly at night. The ones that do come through in daylight cross a 30 acre field at any given points.
That brings me to last night. I decided I would do something different so I text my friend Izzy to see what kind of activity a local piece of public land had over this season. He tells me they have been logging.
So this morning I decided to go to the public land. I found a good spot there last year near some bedding but in a travel corridor that allows them to travel during daylight hours undetected. This spot has no less than 12 major trails running through it.
Its about a half mile in. By the time I was all settled, I guess I sweated a bit. I was sitting in my climber that was from Huntryx and my back itched from the sweat.
It was a beautiful morning. rain popped up out of nowhere. the temps were chilly but comfortable.
It was a quiet morning and about 8:30 I was starting to contemplate all the chores I needed to do today. Most were not done
