RE: NY.... picking up yet?
I have also had the deer be just out of range or have them close with no clear shot. These shots also could have been made easily with a shotgun but I guess I will have to wait until next week to see what opportunities come up when the regular season opens. I am just happy to have the opportunity to be out in the woods. If I have the opportunity for a shot or am lucky enough to take an animal, that is just all the better!
