2 More Massachusetts Deer
My brother in law and his buddy worked all day to get these 2 deer this past Sat in over a foot of snow.
This is Johnny's first deer ever... Very nice little 5 point. He still hasn't stopped smiling!

This is my brother in law's first deer of the season. He usually has 2 or 3 down by now, but he has been busy building his new home and has not been out much. He has had a couple of opportunities this year, but they didn't work out.

Nice deer...any deer in MA is hard earned.
I hunted some 67+ hours in MA, shotgun. Saw only 4 deer.Missed a fork in zone 2 first saturday on a hard shot. Second week, I got a wide but thin racked 6/8pt (if you count the small brows) Thursday afternoon, zone 1. VERY happy about that, but it was a tough season.
Also hunted some 25 hours in NH...saw zip.

That buck was shot in Williamstown. Care to guess his dressed weight?? You'll be shocked...

It is really tough to tell in the pic... Maybe mid 130s? Can't see too much of him.
One of my does was 115lb, the smaller was 72lb,the 6 was 135lb, and the 3 was 132lb!
