I don't have a buck tag in PA right now, but I have a great feeling about taking my first archery deer during rifle season tomorrow evening. We are supposed to have a NNE wind, only the 3rd time I've seen this in 3 years and exactly the wind I need to hunt my largest plot that currently has the most feeding activity. I've only been able to hunt thisplot 2x over the last few years and everytime had super close encounters.Just last week during the holiday I glassed it half an hour before dark and counted over 10 deer in this plot including a nice 120"+ buck chasing does all over the place. It wouldn't surprise me to see a slammer buckin there, but I guess I'll have to shoot him with the camera instead.
This is where I will be sitting................
As for NY on Sunday who knows. I have a buck tag butthe deer have been pressured a bit more there and the woods are a LOT bigger making them much more unpredictable. We will see, I'm not 100% convinced I will take the bow out there though.....I may end up bringing the bangstick.
