Default RE: New Jersey's 6 day shotgun hunt results

I hunted all 6 days. Seen alot of does. 33 on Monday. Seen one small buck Monday morning. He had a twisted spike on the right and a small brow tine and horn that went up and straight out to the left and made a curve inward at the tip. Very odd set of bones. He was also a limper with a baseball size knot on his right leg just below the shoulder. Probably made from an arrow. He hobbled right under my stand. I was thinking about administering a mercy killing, but decided to let him go and let mother nature run its course. That was the only buck I seen all week. My buddy got a real nice 8 on Monday and my Dad got a basket rack 5 point Saturday morning. Tuesday morning, my Dad seen 5 bucks together!!! But wouldn't you know it, they were too far for a shot. He said one was a real dandy. As far as we know, he is still out there. Didn't get a buck this year (got a 6 and real nice 10 pointer last year) but still had a great time hunting with my Dad who is 74 years young and loves to deer hunt. I'll be going back up with the muzzleloader to try and fill the freezer.
