Harvested this buck on November 12th on our family farm from a stand we call "The Oats Stand" over a radish food plot. This buck came in looking for does at 8:30 am. He had a tremndous amount of character in his rack, multiple stickers, split brow, forked G2, but he had also broken off 5 points, even so he gross scored 140. All the food plot effort paid off!! -webfoot79
Hunting is a social sport that would mean very little if we did not have family and friends to share the stories and experiences with. While anyone would be proud of a deer like this one, the whole experience wouldn't mean half as much if I had not been able to share it all with my father and best friend. -rjsteiner
This morning was different from the others in November. 35 mph winds and 4 inches of snow brought this bruiser into my calls for a twenty yard shot with my bow. Extreme conditions for Extreme results -delwood

This year marked my second year bow hunting. I purchased a Mathews DXT over the summer from a local retailer in Rochester and he had me dialed in up to 50 yards in no time! So this year during the second week of the season when I grunted in this monster 13 pointer I was able to lance off a confident shot and took down this beautiful New York Big Buck. WHAT A RUSH!

Only the Lord could provide a reward like this for an unwavering effort over the past 4 seasons. The last night of rifle season we decided to throw out the ground blind. We just sat on the ground on her father's property. We had never hunted on his land together. God decided it was time for her to get a chance. He didn't disappoint, and neither did she. Way to go honey! -Bone Collector

December 2, 2011 was a great day for Mack's fist deer hunt. After spotting two big bucks chasing a doe in heat we quickly got into position for a shot. Mack laid down, took a rest off of my pack and watched the rutting buck in his scope. He patiently waited for the big buck to stop and touched off his 25/06. After a quick 50 yard run the deer piled up. – bowforit
This was the only deer I have seen all season including early bow and the rest of rifle season. -johnson55720
In the AM I missed an 11 pt I had photos of. That afternoon I went to a stand in the direction the 11 pt was last headed. At prime time a small buck came in and the big 11 was next. He came "head on" to my ladder stand and at 10 yds, I drew, he looked up and whirled running to 20 yards and stopped facing away! He turned and I shot. 11 pt, 18 ¼" spread, 160" Gross. -lundliker
