Here in NYS the gun season starts on Saturday so I thought I'd go shoot my handgun a bit before then. Not that I haven't been shooting all summer. So I head over to my fathers land which is past my bowhunting spot. (kinda weird but I have one landowner that will only let me bowhunt and another that will only let me gun hunt). So I do some shooting and then head home around that magical time of the last hour of day light. I'm driving past the bowhunting land and spot a deer in the field that ajoins the property I hunt so I turn the truck around. As I'm turning around abox truck slams on his brakes, I look and there is a huge body deer standing next to the road. Now I'm headed in the direction of the field where the first deer was way out in the field feeding. I see the deer that almost got hit by the truck walking away from the road and it has to be a dark horned130" 8 point which for this area is damn big. So he trotts off as I go by to check the other deer. I pull over and get the binos out and the deer that is in the field is a nice 6 that will be really nice next year. I watch him for a while and then continue to head home. Still driving past the bowhunting land I catch a glimpse of a buck chasing a doe up a hill next to the road. It's a different buck with white horns. Looks to be about a 110" 8 that I think I saw opening day and not agains since. Sorry this took so long but I have 4 vacation days left and I have a feeling that 2 of them are going to be taken tomorrow and friday. There must be a hot doe or two somewhere around there. The 6 point kept looking in the woods as he was feeding and didnt pay much attention to me until I drove away. Well time to go see the lady for a bit and contemplate what I'm going to do tomorrow. Hopefully I just talked someone else into skipping work to hunt the best part of bowseason with me. Ill let you guys know if I score on anything. Good luck to all.
