Last Chance for Shotgun 08 in NY
Well its the last day of shotgun here in NY and I have been studying all weekend for finials. I get a call from my buddy and he tells me that him and a few of his buddies are gonna do some pushes in the stateland down here in Alegheny county. So im taking a break to hunt one last time this year. Still have a doe tag for down here so wish me luck.

So did not have any luck yesterday. We did push a couple nice does just could not get any good shots. It was really cold and windy but lots of fun. Now the long wait till next season

no doubt about it this was a very slow year, I know they were there but the most nocternal I have seen in 5 or so years. Still got the smokepole and hopefully will do some doe management in the next couple days

yea I shot a nice 8pt opening weekend but its been slow since. Always next year and plenty of time to scout state land. I am also planning on getting into bow hunting to make the season longer

Yeah tough rifle season in NY for me too, couldnt even get a doe in my scope all 3 weeks, although I did pass on a few does the first weekend, which I later regretted.
Wacked a big bodied 4pt w/ my muzzleloader, this morning tough. Ill post it in the BP forum.
