One down in NY
Well I smoked one Nov. 1st the 1st day first 5 minutes of a week long hunting vaca I had, never to early to end it if the opportunity arise'sI guess. It was a perfect morning, I no more than got inthe stand and hear deer coming, a slammer walks within 10 yards of me unfortunatly to dark to shoot but I know he is there(regular season is only 4.5 days away). 10 minutes later another big high rack buck walks the same path (still to dark), he gets out about 45 yards and another buck comes in behind chasing a few doe's all around grunting, scraping and carrying on like crazy. The high racker snort wease's and I'm thinking here we go a fight is about to inssue. Nope he continues to walk away however the other buck behind me starts to run the doe's again. I throw out a couple grunts and hear him stop and start to walk my way. I wasn't sure at that point what he wasI just knew he had a deep grunt. he walks out 18 yards I see decent width and good mass, draw and smoke hime with the rage 2 blade, he bolted 45 yards and crashed. He isn't the giant of the woods but with a slow year I'm proud to hang my tag on him. Heis a main frame 5x4 with aG2 kicker and a NYslob @195lbs, my buddy and I figure he had to be 240-50 on the hoof.I can't get the damn pictures down to 100kb, someone let me know and I will e-mail them to you to shrink and post. Thanks.
