First Archery Buck

by Patrick Ciera
(Basom, NY - Genesee Co.)

First season ever archery hunting, and this handsome devil walks right into my shooting lane. My heart was pounding, and at full draw I couldn't help but admire this beatiful animal. Most exciting day of my outdoorsman life.

8-pointer, 185 pounds undressed, 165 dressed. Anyone who knows me knows I long for adventure, for no other reason than to tell the next great story. What a story this buck has given me.
