Sorry for the multiple posts, I have had issues posting more than 1 picture in a single post.
This buck is from a 60 Acre parcel that consistently produces P&Y bucks. It is the "Perfect storm" of land. Cover, food, and location.

I hunt Madison, Jefferson and St. Lawrence counties but mostly Madison.
Here is my biggest NY deer. I have never had him officially scored but my taxidermist said he was about 130"

Another nice buck. I use to hunt birds up around Black Lake area. Love that North country! Lots of space to roam. Didn't a guy shoot a monster non-typical up in St Lawerence county several years ago?

That sure is a beauty 375LVR, those are the bucks I strive for every year. I have commited to nothing less that 140 class or bigger and it does pay off with proper management, granted I ate my bow tag last year although I missed a giant at 40 yards (killed a grape vine) butI did harvest a 178 B&C and a 138 B&C with Muzzlelaoder so the work time and effort will pay off in the end. Good luck this year
