RE: the rut is on in NY
Over here in 9J things are cranking up. The last 2 days seen to real studs out 2 hours before dark. The first one was sent checking a standing corn field and making a scrape. He was on a mission for sure. Didn't wait around very long, just enough to finish what he set out for. I stopped counting at 12 points, kind of got caught in the momment for about 30 seconds with this giant, I was just in shear aw of this deer, a few grunts stopped him , and turned him for about 30yrds but then he got his mind back and left. No shot at him , he walked away at 65 yards. The second buck came out at 256pm yesterday afternoon about 70yards away , he was on a mission, just trucking thru the woods with his nose to the ground. Gave him a couple grunts, stopped him and brought him in on a string to 25yards. A main frame 10 with 10in g-2's 9 1/2 in G-3's and 7 1/2 inch g-4's . His brows were only 5in. He was about 210lbs on the hoof, a pig for this area. Well I couldn't pass up this deer, I smoked him at 25yrds double lung, he only ran 40 yards and piled up. He dressed out at 184. I will try to post a pics as soon as I can.
