2nd day of northern NY season

#1 Post by Dakota18 »

I was lucky enough to take a nice 8 point on the second day of the northern ny bow hunting season. This is a new property for me so I have been running trail cameras since late May.
I usually set up for a SW wind in my face but this stand would be different. The wind would be at my back so I would have to shoot before the deer got directly in front of me. I used a small brush pile to my advantage so that the deer would have to walk around it giving me a broadside shot before catching my wind.
At 7:40 this morning it worked as if he read the script. 12 yard shot with only about a 70 yard recovery.
Good luck to everyone this season. I can’t seem to post a pic even after resizing. I’m sure graps will help me out again.
