Taken 10/31/09 evening
Onondaga County New York
8 point with a kicker
173 pounds dressed weight
Weight estimator puts live weight at 218 pounds
Diamond Marquis Bow
Rage 2 blade
I have been in deer thick all week 27 deer sighted from stand in last 7 days. I have passed up a 1.5 year old 3 point twice and a 1.5 year old 7 and a couple fawns. The spot I am hunting has dog problems. The last two evenings I have had 2 dogs chase a deer by my watch. But I have been seeing deer so I never know what is coming and hoping the dogs do not screw this spot up. I was in stand at about 4pm and as pattern nothing going on until close to 5:30. At 5:40 this guy came in to the right of me and cut behind me about 50 yards out. I can called him a couple times and he would stop for a minute and the continue on. The third time I hit the can the wind kicked up and something startled him and he spun around and took a couple bounds back the way he came. He then cut right up my side at about 25 yards and when he went behind a cluster of trees I came to full draw. As he cleared the tree he turned a bit towards me and at 18 yards I buried the arrow in his shoulder right into the boiler. He spun and took off and I heard the crash when he fell out of sight. I only waited maybe 5 minutes due to I knew he was smoked. He went around 80 to 100 yards and piled up. He is a big bodied deer and dressed out weight was 173 pounds on the scales. He is either a monster bodied 2.5 year old or a 3.5 with a sub rack. I am very happy with him he is a pig!
Nothing like being up to you elbows in blood in the middle of the dark on halloween night!!
I have seen 27 deer this week which is good for here. Seeing rubs and scrapes pop up this week but no chasing and not any reaction to calls yet.

Ty, yea he is a pig for not that old of a deer.
A budy of mine hunts a farm down in Tully next to some state land I hunt shotgun season. Anyhows one of the guys that hunts with him took a 10 point last week that dressed 236 pounds. Yikes!! I have also seen some giants on the Syracuse website taken already around here.
Looks to be a good year for good weights and some good racks.

Got this 8pt on 11/3/09 at 7:30am.
At first light, I saw a small fork horn come in. But he was walking funny. It looked like he had a bum left rear leg. I decided that I would take him if he came by but he never came close enough for a shot. Too bad. He really looked like he was favoring that leg quite a bit.
Then around 7:30am I suddenly heard a deer come right up behind my stand. He stopped directly under the stand then worked his way around to my immediate left. I grabbed my bow just in time. The buck moved right next to my 20 yard marker and I grunted him to stop. He was at about 18 yards. He turned into a quartering away position and I sent the arrow sailing through for a picture perfect-double lung shot. The deer ran 80 yards.
He's a nice 8pt with three little stickers on the antler bases.
