my hunting buddy tagged this nice buck in the NY southern tier after a 2-3 mile track job...horrible shot placement, but we stuck to him, and finally got him. He ended up doing a huge circle, ending up within 150yds of the initial shot

167lbs (Very big for the area), 17" spread, 9 points, lots of mass, aged at 2 1/2-3 1/2 years (rough guess), His biggest buck

Sorry i had to link, but the pictures are kinda big (800x600) but i think its worth it

Sorry they didnt work the first time....sheesh

Pass along the congrats...Loose the D.J. hat next time..

nice deer, congrats to them!

Awesome buck for the area, I' m thinking at least 3 1/2 years. Average in the area is onbly 1 1/2. Did you take him on public or provate land?

Nice buck and look at the snow. I' m envious of the snow. I bet that helped with the track job. Way to perservere!

Very nice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Congrats and thanks for the PM

Did he take it Nelson Swamp? - Good thing to get it before the gun season - (which has been kind of a bust so far)
