HuntingNet.com Forums - Anyone seeing any bucks in NY???

The boys are looking good! I've been seeing some beauties every night I've been outfor a drive.

There's a3 yr. old 9-pt. hanging around my aunt's alfalfa field that I'd really like to get a crack at with my bow. He's really blossomed in the past couple of weeks and now is a P&Y class deer. Looks like he's currently trying to put a G4 on his right side but I don't know if it'll make an inch or not. He sure will be a stud if he makes it another year or two...I'm honestly rooting for him to make it through season. There's also a really nice "lop-sided" 8-pt. hanging around down there that also looks to be a 3 yr. old...he's got a beautiful thick, long-tined 4-pt. side on his left, but the other side is conciderably smaller and kind of weird looking. I'm guessing he might of caught a slug in the left hindquarter last fall. What a shame...he woulda been a great 130 class 8-pt. There's also a nice palmated beamed 2-yr. old that I've got my eyes on, he's currently a 8-pt. but is trying hard to become a 10. It appears that he's got a bit of growing left yet.

The local soybean field is the hotspot right now for seeing deer with severalnicebucks and 15-20 does and scrubs out there every night. The biggest two bucks that I've seen so far are a long-tined 130-135 class 8-pt. and another 19-20" buck thats at least an 8-pt. but its kinda hard to tell while he's feeding or bedded down in the beans a couple of hundred yards away. Several hundred acres of the best bedding cover in theimmediate areahas been off limits to hunting for the past three seasons now so I can only image some of the bucks that show up out there after nightfall. I might try to get permission to hunt the property surrounding the beanfield this fall.

Well, enough of my rambling. Has anyone else been seeing the bucks now?
