Jimmy S checkin' back in.
Nice buck Western MA and congrats on the Ct doe. M/L starts here in NH on Oct 31. I will be out for at least part of the season that runs a week and a half. Then rifle season begins.
I spend most of my time in Oct bird hunting with my Springer but I always try to manage a few sits on the weekend. My buddy shot a nice NH doe during our archery season and my son also shot a doe but we were unable to find her. It was a clean pass through but she was hit further back than intended. We are seeing deer but not as often as last year this time. Also, all have been does, no buck sightings yet.
Good Luck to all. Hopefully we will all have a successful and safe hunting season.
