Well i have returned to Pa in one piece, but with NO ANTLERS. as of my my up date from the tree. As my other post says it was slow for me, but it has been that way all year for me. However on the last mouring i was up in my tree stand early waiting for day light to come. i still had about 20 minutes until it was light enough to shoot. When I heard a buck grunt up on the hill and then the chasing headed my way. The Doe ran by under my stand about 5 / 7 yards away. She was a good size Doe. The Buck came right by the same spot. All i could see was body shape. He was SO much larger than the Doe. I couldn't see any antlers but he was a big bodied DEER.
I could see and hear that he was slaming his hoof's down on the ground as he was chasing her.

Thursday (11/12) i had a 9 PT come to 12 yards and i could have pulled the trigger and given us approx. 110 to 115 pts but we had a 120 minimium.

Now i will be among the Orange Army. I will attempt to save at least 2 out of 3 tags for second archery season 12/26/09 to Jan 9th 2010.

Close but no cigar
