Opening Night Bow Buck

by Chris Connolly
(Warsaw, NY)

I got this deer many years ago opening night of archery season. I saw the same buck the opening night before but never got him close. I never saw the deer the rest of the season. I moved my stand and opening morning I saw no deer. I decided not to try other stands but hunt the same one Where I saw the buck last year.

Sure enough right before dark I got one long shot at him. I made it count and a great bloodtrail led me to my deer. He has 11 total points... 10 scorable. He scores 125-7 gross and 123 net. He is also in the New York Big Buck Club. Still my best deer ever.
