Scored on a 10 pointer.
 

Well the season really took a turn for the better Friday morning. The main piece of land I hunt on has been really messed up with the corn not being cut anywhere on the surrounding property and what used to be tall swail lots on our property is now cut down and some of it plowed for the spring. The deer just haven't been hanging there. So......... I ventured a week ago to a remote little chunk of land on the other side of the road. I had a pretty good idea of what the deal is over there, so I took a day to do some more scouting. Found a great little funnel with tons of sign around and hung a stand. Sat in it for the 1st time 4 days later and it payed off!!

The stand sits on top of a big ridge. In front of me it overlooks a hay field. Behind me goes down a steep hill with a creek about 35 yards behind me. All around that is golden rod and thickets. Nice little run with a good scrape line behind me and a few comig up the ridge out to the field.

I climbed up Friday morning (a wee bit later than I usually do[:-]) I got my pack off and hung on a limb, knocked an arrow and hung my bow, and stapped my safety harness to the tree (yes Matt PA you convinced me to start using my vest ;)). I just plopped my butt in my seat and put my head against the tree. I looked to my left and out of the corner entering the field I saw a rack!! He took 2 steps out to the field and stood there looking around for a minute. He looked right at me at one point and I thought it was over. But it wasnt' :Dhe started to cruise along the edge of the field and got to my shooting lane and stopped broadside. I drew back and let it go at 30 yards. I heard him crash back through the creek and was farily sure I heard a pile up crash just after. I got down an hour later and didn't find my arrow but had good lung blood all over the place. I walked out and came back3 hours later to find him about 80 yards away from my stand just on the other side of the creek.

I was curious about that too. Wish I had a scale. I can tell you it felt like about 800 lbs dragging him up that hill[:-][8D].

I hunt just outside the Auburn area in Central NY.

Gorgeous buck , but that's about the ugliest dog I've ever seen in the background . Next time keep it out of the frame before you snap the shutter ... ;)

RE: Scored on a 10 pointer.
 

Congrats!! What a beast!!!

RE: Scored on a 10 pointer.
 

Am I dumb or do I count 11 points? 6 on the right 5 on the left?

RE: Scored on a 10 pointer.
 

I also see 11 points.....don't sell yourslf short!

RE: Scored on a 10 pointer.
 

Awesome deer buddy. Congrats. Looks like an 11 Pt. to me also.

RE: Scored on a 10 pointer.
 

Hmm, I don't see an entry or exit wound on the deer. Where exactly did you hit this deer????:D:D:D

RE: Scored on a 10 pointer.
 

Congrate on a nice one

RE: Scored on a 10 pointer.

RE: Scored on a 10 pointer.
 

Nice buck! Way to go!

RE: Scored on a 10 pointer.
 

great job!!

RE: Scored on a 10 pointer.
 

Congrats NYBH. Good to see you finally did something right!!:D;)

He is a beauty and I would have shot him in a heartbeat. My dad shot one just about like him last night.

RE: Scored on a 10 pointer.
 

Wow, I'm impressed coming from you - who'd you have shoot him for you?:D

J/K. Way to go. Nice buck, Bro. Congrats!

RE: Scored on a 10 pointer.
 

awesome buck, congrats:D

RE: Scored on a 10 pointer.
 

I know a road kill when I see one. And where's the bow? And where's the hole? And where's the sh-T eating grin?
You need to borrow another finger to get to 11? You're a lot shorter than I would have suspected.....and uglier
too. That about covers everything.[8D][8D] Congrats Ken. You have proven that even
the blind pig can find an acorn once in a while. Oh, and what's with the peach fuzz?

Oh... did I mention>

CONGRATS!!!!!

RE: Scored on a 10 pointer.
 

CONGRATS!!! excellent buck. look at the neck on him[8D]. thanks for sharing the pics. nice pics by the way.

RE: Scored on a 10 pointer.
 

Good job with all the hard work Ken, you deserved it, congratulations.

RE: Scored on a 10 pointer.
 

Thats what i thought also...but if you look close its a small tree shooting up, by the base of the big tree.


Very nice buck NY....Big body on him too, congrats.

I sure wish one like that would walk under my treestand

RE: Scored on a 10 pointer.
 

Nice Score man!

RE: Scored on a 10 pointer.
 

Great buck!!! My buddy in the Otisco area scored on a spike on sunday too. Looks like things are heating up out there!!!!

RE: Scored on a 10 pointer.
 

Yes there is a tree growing there, but there is also an 11th point there. One of the points is dead in line with the little tree you're talking about. I honestly think it's a mental block. You know NY could never emotionally handle posting an 11 on the card. I'm surprised he can count above "Snowman".

RE: Scored on a 10 pointer.
 

LMAO I was waiting for your response.

Back at the golf course......... forgot to bring it back with me for pictures.

on the other side of him through his lungand stuck to the inside of his opposite shoulder.
that is my sh-t eating grin[:-]:D

here in NY we don't count those little doinky tines as points.No wonder you have so many monster racks:D:D[8D]. OK so he's 10.5. I still need to borrow a half a finger though.

I am pretty ugly I'll admit that. I am 5'11" though ....... did you think I was a giant??
a luck thing ..... grow ituntill I get my bowseason buck. Kinda like the blue undies. I have a pic of those too wanna see? They look ravishing with my peach fuzz. My wife isdemanding I shave the nest now that I got my archerybuck.:eek:[:-][8D]

RE: Scored on a 10 pointer.
 

NY, I have the extra finger for ya! Guess which one. LOL Nice deer and I wish everyone posted a nice to-the-point story like yours. Good job.

Now for davilmil. Don't be so shy and reclusive. If you have something you have something on your mind, or something you want to say, just go ahead and say it. Don't hold back, let it flow.
