Well long story short, last night at 5:15 while sitting on the spine of a ridge, covered in oaks dropping acorns i took Doe #1 for the year. Ended up seeing 4 does, 4 fawns and a small 8 point while in stand. the doe went about 90 pounds, which for New Jersey is a good sized one. Double lunged her at 22 yards and the NAP Spitfire did its work dropping it within 80 yards. Ended up being a 300 yarddrag out to the field where i gutted her, and when i got to the field edge there were 8 great bucks in the field with 2 of them being bruisers. What a night to be out in the woods.

ps- went out this morning and only saw a small spike, what a difference a couple of hours can make.

Great Job man. Seems like there were several scores yesterday evening. Mine will hang in the cooler for about a week and a half before it goes to the freezer.

Congrats!

Congrats!!!
Time for some venison!

Congrats on the freezer meat.
also sounds like an awesome place to hunt.

Congratulations!!! Now it's time for one of the big boys. Fresh venison MMM good stuff!!!

Gotta love nights like that, way to lay down the smack!!

I see you are from mountain lakes, I'm from parsippany. Did you get the deer in mountain lakes? I heard there is an overpopulation of deer in your town and they were going to open a few areas to bowhunt only, however you need to pass a test and get a special permit. All information that you know about it would be very much appreciated because mountain lakes is much closer to me than the property i hunt in wantage.
thanks, chris b.

when did season begin where you are at?
