Holy Smoly that is a giant typical and I agree one of the best I've seen in NY. My buddy told me about tow giant that were shot locally one on canandaigua and one in Victor that are suppose to be huge but I haven't seen them.
Wouldn't surprise me...they always get some real bruisers up that way.
That's too bad about the "doe-buck" that you shot. How old a buck was he? Was he injured?
Here's a doe/buck that was at the top of my hitlist this season. I've been watching this deer for two years now and I'm 99% sure that its an antlered doe (thus, I've nicknamed the deer "Freak"). I was pleasantly surprise to she "her" alive and well feeding out in my aunts alfalfa field the other night. First time I've seen it since the end of September. Still 100% in full velvet with a 3" sticker/drop-tine hanging down by its right ear. Its tine are longer that in these pics from summer and the right G2 and 3 seems to be curling over at the tips. So, the mystery of this deers sex lives on for yet another year.
