Like Phil I too was blessed with a chance on the last day, killed a fat 5 point on Friday morning on state land.

So here's the tally for the WNY gang Mike makes 8 and me 9 for early bow. Congrats you guys. I've got pics but need a go between.

Phillips fine buck!

Good shooting Gerald    

Nice Gerald. Did you get him at your camp?

A big congratulations to you Gerald.

Congratulations Phillip and Gerald.

One of the two nice bucks I had been eyeing pre season that vanished for bow season stopped by last night for gun season.  ;-)  

Better late than never.

Congrats Gerald

congrats , Gerald

Congrats Charlie of course I don't know what for  

Thanks all, it was a sloooow season for me. He was the 12th deer I saw all bow and the only shot I had. My 13 year old son was with me and he stopped at 5 yards but my son didn't shoot because he was looking at him so , he moved off to 14 yards and I took him. Shot him with my 50# Thunderhorn and old  Bear greenie with bleeder. Only went 50-60 yards, maybe lived 7-8 seconds max.

Congratulations Gerald

What a great hunt Gerald!

Nice job on the last day bucks. Anybody toughing it out in the the snow this week with a bow ? I have to admit I'll be out with the smokepole and not the recurve.

swampbow, I'm heading back up to Bath tomorrow weather permitting; Will get a 1 1/2 days in, my last push for the year.  Leaving the bear td home, and giving my old Bighorn some exercise.

I'm so excited my buddy has soy beans he planted and deer are hammering them and at least one of the big guys made it through gun season . I'll be out with the recurve this weekend and may even use a sick day I Love late season and snow !

I hoping to get out on Thurs with my longbow, I just hate to see it end. I usually spend the last night of the last day with bow in hand reflecting on the season, and just maybe have some luck.
