nice passing on bucks... where I hunt primarily in CT, MA, & local NY, any buck is a good a buck... When i head out to Western NY next week, that is a strict hunt... need to shoot mature deer... 120 class plus, which is a great deer for the Northeast...
saw small buck last night... no shot... but would have shot him if i could have.. I leave for NY trip 19th and will be hunting 20-24. I have been out here 5 years and have shot 4 mature bucks... a 140 class and 2 130 class deer... i did take one that scored only around 100", but he was an old cull buck..
most of the deer I take locally are little... forks, 6 pts, etc...
I will be heading to KY 2nd week of november.. but it is a rifle hunt... would prefer bow, but going w/ some family and that's what they wanted...
