ORIGINAL: Western MA Hunter

Anybody been out yet and if so, any luck?
I got out for the last hour yesterday, w/ no luck. Spoke w/ the land owner and he said he has been seeing 2 nice doe and a spike quite a bit. I am hoping to get a shot at one of them. It is the same spike I missed w/ the bow... i am still bitter. He had better not come by w/ the TC in my hand!
Heading out tomorrow for the day... we'll see.

Them are his pets,The chances of you taken one of them,Very easy if you want to. But I ask you as it is in your mind.Let them walk. You have to under stand property owners. They are pets to them. Do not take deer off their property so close to their home.(house)

Supposedly, someone shot a real freak in Cummington. Rumor has it it was a 20 something pointer. It was checked at Dave's Sporting Goods in Pittsfield. I will see what I can find out and see how true it is.

Man What A Season I'm Having!!!!!!

I went out yesturday and was in my stand Same stand I shot 2 deer this muzzleloader season. Well about 9:00am I saw a cat trying to sneak up on some small birds. I put the scope on the cat and thought to my self I ought to (I hade cats and love birds) but of course I didn't. I was lowering the gun when I caught movement to my left. About 30 yards out was a huge doe walking I put the scope just behind her sholder and touched off. there was enough of a breeze blowing that it took the smoke away right away. As she ran away I saw blood qushing out from where I aimed. I was reloading as quick as I could but not soon enough as a smaller doe bounded as I was pushing the bullet down the barrel.After about 5 min I got out of the stand and followed a blood trail Little Steve Wonder could have followed for about 40 yards and there she was dead. I said to myself this has got to be a world record record doe or at least a state record. As I got ready to to dress the deer I said wait this ain't no doe and I checked the head and sure enough to huge soars where 2 antlers were. I was told the big one I got in there last week was not the big boy of the area, but every time you shoot a big deer you hear that so I sluffed it off. But I got to tell you that deer weighed almost 230 lbs and the sores were 3 inches around. So on sunday I'm going to start a new huntings season and try to find those sheds. The area I have been hunting is only 40 ac. so if he lost them in there I'll find them if I have to step on every square in of land there. Cause if he's bigger then the one I got last week imagin the size of the antlers I'm looking for.

Listen can you hear that, Oh there it is again. I know what it is. Its the fat lady she is singing away.
I hope every one hadd a great hunting season and I hope everyone had an even better one next year.
If I find those sheds I will post a photo. I'm having it caped out anyway if I down't find the sheds I hav a real pretty 8 that I shot in Bridgewater 3 years ago and should have had mounted I didn't because I already had a huge 8 pointer being done and I coulden't afford both. But I would still like to fine the sheds and mount them where they belong.
