didnt score but shot a small 6 which was a perfect shot through the vitals it took off running and another hunter shot it 2 more time with less than a minute of when i shot and said it was his kill even when i said you can clearly see my shot was perfect and it was going to be dead within seconds but he shot it in the guts and ass end so i said go ahead and take im here to hunt not argue and ive seen plenty bigger than this little guy.

Would have got a 160 class ten pointer if my party would learn how to shoot. 40 yards away from all of the them and nobody even came close. I never had a chance at him my self, I usually do the dog work in the brush, but I guess is alright at least my father got a crack at him, he's older and dosen't get out much, probably made his season, nobody shot him on the property across the street, but they did see him thou. Back to the grindstone tommorrow. good luck boys and gals.

Had a nice opener.
Got in my stand good hour before sunrise. Bad thing was when I got to the ladder...I turned around at some shuffling leaves...you know the sound. My mini light revealed two set of eyes, and I could hear one already running away. Only 20 yards away.
So I hurried up the ladder, and stayed still. Im sure as you all know there is that time where you can just barely make out movement as shadows, just before sunrise. Well I could see them working their way back across my shooting lane heading to their bedding area.
Heard alot of shots, and saw no movement. Got to daydreaming a bit as one does time to time, and a small buck came in on the lane, but I did not react fast enough to take the only shot he presented me with. Won't do that again for a while.
Nothing came about until sunset, and had 7 does single file come into the woodlot, and went through my lane. I had enough time to see them all and pick out the biggest. She was third in line, and the first two were most definitly yearlings, and possibly button bucks. She ran for 200 yards, and had to track her. She lost alot of blood and was easy to track until she hit the harvested corn field. It had just been turned over. She was merely lying in an adjacent field, but had a 10 yd wide hedgerow in between. Boy that confused me. I just happened to guess to check it out and there she was. The field took up some water, which is what gave me the hard time tracking her, the blood would run downhill a bit throwing me off from her path. Darkness fell by the time I got back to the road.
Took forever to get her out. Had to get the wheeler out with an uncle, and we ended up rolling it with us and the deer on it. I am fairly sore, but the wheeler fell on to the ankle of my uncle. It is fairly swollen, but not broken.
Finally got her to the house, and gutted her (coyotes were yipping in the distance, so I wasnt going to stay there long...just get the deer and gut her at home
)

Yea, it took a couple of days of scouting,but I got a decent 5 pointer on the 18th[not hole,-Nov.-I`m not like NYBH].I`ve seen more deer this year than I ever have up there.Those bucks are really chaseing hard.I`ve seen 2 monsters killed[10 pointers] within a week,both chaseing does.
My buddy told me his friend killed a nice 8,fighting with 2 other bucks last week in the Malone area.There has been alot of kills, and shots.And to think the majority of the locals start hunting Thanksgiving weekend til close.This has been the first year that I`ve hunted there with no snow on the ground,I`ts been unseasonally warm this year.So I`m starting to get geared up to shoot a couple dogs for the buck week of Dec.6th down here in the Jersey pines.Good Luck to everyone and Be Safe!!!
