Well i Scored for us on my first trip to the southern tier. I was hunting in Cameron, NY. I dont know alot about scoring deer but i believe it will score somewher between 70 and 90. It is a decent sized 8 pointer. My father in law shot a very impressive ten point that we were unable to find after two days of searching. About two hours after he hit his buck i started trailing it for him. I followed the blood trail for a good 300 yards with great blood. It started to dry up a little and after another 250 yards it was basically a drop here and there. I held off for another hour just incase it had bedded again. It crossed a road and headed up a hill onto state land. I followed ver slowly and was hoping to walk upon it. The deer made it all the way up a very steep hillside and the blood was gone at the top. Although it opened into about 40 acres of large pines. There were a bunch of thickets in the pines so i still hunted in there hoping he picked thicket and bedded. After about ten minutes i kicked two large doe out of one of the thickets. Since i had seen many bucks trailing ealier that morning i decided to sit still hoping one would follow there back trail into the same area. No joke, before i even finished thinking that my buck was at 80 yards with its nose to the grindstone. It was making a b line right for me. The wind was in my favor and the trees were planted in rows and we were at a diagonal so he couldnt make me out from the rest of the undergrowth. I waited until he was about 30 yards and drew my bow. He presented an 18 yard slightly quartering towards shot. I took the shot and hit one lung and the liver. THe arro exited through the back right leg getting an artery there as well. He went all of 50 yards and just dropped. It was a pretty exciting hunt considering it was not a conventional bowhunting strategy. I was simply helping a fellow hunter and i got lucky in doing so.
Here he is:






I plan on going back down but i wont be hunting for horns until shotgun opens.
