2004 Best Year ever!!!!
Hello Al...Just wanted to share with you this years hunts. Had a great year and look forward to a few more.
Here is the story:
It was last Friday evening I went into my stand about 2 in the afternoon. This is in Fishkill off of Rte 52. So, at about 3 I see a few deer behind me being pushed around by a five pointer I know very well. That was all I saw for the next hour.
About 4 o'clock a different 5 pointer, the one from the pictures comes from above and left of me trotting right in my direction. I decide at about 50 yds to take him with the 12Ga. I hit him good in the chest and he drops near my stand. I figured my hunt is almost over and since I brought my bow with me I should wait it out until dark.
I radioed my friend to let him know what happened and then I saw a few bodies congregating above me about 100yds out in the field behind the hedgerow in front of me. As a few does funnel their way into the field above me I notice one doe is headed my way. As she comes around a hedgerow outcropping I hear a tremendous noise coming from inside the treeline. The larger of the two bucks was following this hot doe from the cover of the trees in the hedgerow. Well I waited and waited and she finally moved again towards me and he slowly followed. At about 35yds I took aim and fired my bow. I missed. They moved out to about 55yds and gave me another broad side shot. It hit the mark a little back in the liver and one lung. He dropped about 100yds away. That is the story and one of the best hunting nights of my life.
