My friend and I hunted today here in NJ for the opener of the smokepole season, we take anysize buck and mature does, this is public land, tough hunting.


This morning I saw a small buck chasing some does, way out range, then I saw a bobcat, about 45 mins later the buck returns still out of range.

Around 9:10am my friend took a shot but missed, I see the 3 deer, 2 of them are does they run off away from me, and I lost sight of the 3rd one. So about 5 mins later I hear walking and the spike is walking towards me, he comes within 15 yards of me and I shot him in the neck of course he dropped.

I popped the cherry of the Triumph!!!!!
