Late Season NY'er hits the Snow
 

Lady luck was on my side last night in the late season. I left work around 3:00 got settled in at 3:48 saw some deer headed in from the East a couple minutes later and then caught movement to my right, noticed antler glistening in the sun and saw a 6pt followed by a 4pt followed by a nice 2 year old 130ish 8 but it was the monster at the back of the pack that made my jaw drop, they walked a hedge 75-80 yards out and into the cut corn to within 55 yards where I let the Z5 Omega bark and 40 yards later he was piled up at 3:58. Awesome mass, symmetry, and more importantly he is a good mature 4 1/2-5 year old, one of my best to date and to do it in the late season pumps me up. Not to shabby for a 10 minute hunt although the years worth of preparation is where it all starts and is the ultimate key to success.

Great buck,pays to push it right to the end sometimes and use every min. you can give.

Congratulations. goes to show it aint over till its over.

Looks pretty cold out there eh? Congratulations on the buck. It was 8 degrees this morning when I went out and luckily there was light winds.

Congrats on a great late season buck.

Congrats again on a beautiful late season buck. I like this pic the best, it really shows off his mass well...

Nice buck ,I did the same thing a few years back , Hunted and hunted and let a lot of smaller bucks walk .
Had a snow storm come in in the morning and it snowed all day ,
So I hunted all day , there was 3 days left to the season .
The deer were realy comming out to get to the snow covered acorns .
All of the sudden there he was a big 9 pointer with super mass ,,and a huge neck fallowing a doe .
There was at least 12 deer within 100 yds from me all over the woods when I shot him,,
Like they say its not over till the last day ,,

No doubt if you look in relation to his roman nose his bases are almost as wide, he has 7 3/4" bases and 7-6.5" circ. measurements all the way out, his antlers are perfectly round so the mass is unreal, I think a product of a fairly wet summer with lots of green vegetation to munch on.

holy mass!!! congrats on your snow buck!!! :rock:
