From Saturday until Tuesday morning, I saw 2 different 4 pts, a 6 pt., one small 7pt and a heavy beamed 7 pt, one small basket racked 8 pt., and finally a 9 pt that was the unlucky recepient of a Magnus Stinger thru the boiler room. All these buck were 25 yds and closer. The reason I was holding out was for a nice 8 pt that I got on trail cam, but when the 9 pt showed up I changed my mind pretty quickly.
the doe are being hunted hard this week and bucks too.that is why they are not being seen to much.i have seen only a 4 point this week here in clinton county,pa.
but we are seeing a lot of bears and very small ones .i have not seen a bear over 150 pds,many under 100 pds.rut and crossbow hunters took this week to hunt.
everyone i talk too is very disgusted with archery season this year here in clinton county.most did not see very many deer and most were bucks.some saw more bucks than doe like 3 bucks and 1 doe.i have not seen a deer in my yard in over week now.rut has deer nuts right now.you have to be careful driving at noon.
