Moons, just to keep it interesting, I think you should restrict yourself to shooting albinos.

From: Tekoa
07-Oct-18
Dan, beautiful buck congratulations. Wachusett, I did shoot it from the ground. Friday I went to an area that I hadn't hunted for a few years. My plan was an all day walkabout to locate an area for Sat/Sunday. Midday I found some oaks with real good feeding sign. I just backed into some laurel about 20 yards from the best white oak and waited. I had three doe and the buck come in at different times between 2 and 3. Buck gave me a twenty five yard shot. State land in Columbia county. Tekoa

Nicely done Tekoa !!!
BC, Buck-10, Brother, HMax All Well done'
No, not for Moons, They just roll over and die when he walks in the woods. He causes severe "deer-depression" and they just kill themselves. It's true.

Dan - that's awesome!
From: Bowhunt3138

Shot a big doe last night on a farm in NH . I wasn't sure about the shot so I backed out. My buddy and I went in at first light this morning . He shot a little doe on the walk in. Then we found my doe dead in the last spot I had seen her. Awesome morning.
From: TT-Pi
07-Oct-18
Bow3, you shot a cow. That doe is a big'un. Good for you and your buddy. And a nice way to transport and hang a deer or two .
From: bowandspear

Tekoa I am so stoked for you, great buck! Every deer with trad is an accomplishment. Inspriring sir!
Dan, beating a mature deer, what can feel better. And he's awesome.

Some great looking deer. Bowhunt, you weigh that?!
From: TT-Pi
09-Oct-18
Well, I got the tech help.
This was a strong quarter away and I aimed for the back of the ribs to the far leg. Double lung. Unfortunately, the arrow snapped off but the broadhead was recovered. She is resting peacefully in the fridge. Cleanest deer ever.
I followed the Dfa link video and it was indeed a very good method. Thanks, buddy. And this must be my lucky day ... I was post # 69 dude!

Nice deer folks!
B and S raises a good point, the number of deer that have been posted here during the "early season" is unreal. Couple that with some FB pics and wholly smokes, there are a lot of deer going down so far this year!
From: Ungie01201
09-Oct-18
yeah there are Will! I've seen some really nice ones on Bowhuntmass and Boston Bowhunter. My buddy shot a nice 160lb 8pt right over the line in NY 2 nights ago as well.

From: bigwoodsbucks22
09-Oct-18
I've really learned this since starting to hunt in NH and NY early season. I believe early season "can be" almost as good as the rut at times. Me and my buddy watched 2 monsters out eating in the middle of a field a few nights ago at 5:45 pm. Unfortunately I was in a tree 100 yards away. Great harvests guys! Doing very good!

I can't believe the deer getting shot in Eastern MA so far... and we are here twiddling out thumbs out here in Western MA. If I could have been hunting out here since 10/1 I am confident I'd have a nice one down already... trail cam pics where great the first week of Oct out here... and now, mysteriously, dead... lol

Captain great question. I’ve been holy no acorns what am I going to do. We’ve had some clear cuts locally that I love to hit when this happens which hasn’t been often at all in z5. They look like there eating every piece of green they can. We have 0 acorns on the ground. I watched a skipper nibbling at a rotted log. For about 5 mins. I had to look really close but it looked like little Chinese vege sprouts coming off the log. His stomach was full of green veg.

From: mrw
28-Oct-18
Yup, Sunday! Little, bitty, yummy doe, walking home alone in a bad neighborhood - we all know the story...
I have passed a few so far this year and needed some fresh meat and decided next one is getting an invite to several dinners in its honor. She wound up ducking the shot but I got an artery and I watched her cross a river and say her last goodnight! Of course with this rain the river was deeper than my boots are tall, but well worth it. Glad to be on the board finally, even mo' better to have some fresh meat!
From: TT-Pi
28-Oct-18
Good on you mrw. Bad neighborhood! Good dinner guest. Enjoy.
You know, God has a great sense of humor. Noah was gardening and said we could use some rain, Lord... He wasn't specific and look what he got!
From: bowandspear
28-Oct-18
Well done MRW! I have been out of woods for over a week between being sick and work. Probably won't get in this week either then leaving for great North Woods . Ughhh . At least my rut spots will get fresh ;P
From: mrw
28-Oct-18
Thanks Pi. Mike (B&S), hope you're feeling better. Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on your spots! Corn is still up in the one field, and a few does were meandering that way from across the street when we drove by yesterday.
We need 2 or 3 deer to keep us in red meat, rarely do we eat of the bovine. So this ice breaker for the season makes it possible to feel less pressured and enjoy just being in the woods more.
From: bowandspear

From: Deerdawg
04-Nov-18
Thanks Moons He came over “opening in the stone wall “ and instead of following run right he came straight off left to me quick, I blatted he wasn’t stopping so I shot him going by me at 10 yards. The blood had gut in it so I backed out. I should have known he was hit bad cause after I hit him I watched him go bye me, his right back leg was up. The arrow clipped the gut but also cut the artery in that back leg because of the angle of shot. The arrow had bright red on fletching and membrane on shaft, so I though I hit liver/ gut. So with gut and liver I figured I better let him lie. I should went in after 5 hr not 10.
From: Steveeg
04-Nov-18
Deerdawg, it’s a Tough call to back out. Most times it’s the right thing to do. If given the opportunity I would take one but Im guilty of not pursuing them yotes.
From: Deerdawg
04-Nov-18
Steveeg I have push to many to soon and you know how that ends. They say when gut hit the deer won’t go more that. 100 yards he hight have been 150 when we found him. I didn’t really see arrow hit deer, I heard it hit, but when he went bye I could see a tuff of hair back and high that looked like a hit. If I get a shot at one I will take it, I want to make a hat out of one one of these days!

Jaime Tocci of Belchertown was scouting for gun season Saturday, of course with bow in hand. He had already taken a small 8-pointer a week ago, and this one walked in on him. Tagged out for 2018. Where? I can only say it was not in Belchertown, it was between Quabbin and the Connecticut River ;-)

Moon Dawg So happy for u wacking that nice 10 pt buck! This deer was a Absolute tank 30” neck 48” chest 8.5 ft long +_ 300 lbs on the hoof for real. When u are on the ground and he jumps up 10-15 yards away, let me tell you brother I’m glad he didn’t charge us. He was eating arrows!

Great deer gents. I miss hunting up there. With the trail camera pics and harvest pics, I believe in the next few years Mass is going to rise as a top archery state for large mature bucks.

Tracked him for almost 8hrs and about 400yds lost blood just after dark at a field edge. I hope he heals up so I can get revenge. He was a stud

Berkshire county. After suffering a stroke last year , this avid bow hunter wonders if he would ever bow hunt again. I was down in the dumps. Even though I was forced to be retired, I wasn’t digging using a crossbow. Even though I have a lot of time to hunt, I only sat five times this year. But, this week is perennials a good week for the corkers to be running. This guy came by yesterday morning and definitely pulled me out of the dumps. The deer hunting Gods work in mysterious ways. I am extremely thankful . Happy Thanksgiving everyone

Hi all! Not a bow kill,But I did hunt this buck hard during the archery season! :) Quick story , I took the week off durig shot gun season as always, and witnessed so much HARD chasing still going on! I mean nose to tail pushing the doe around like a rag doll! Both Monday and Tuesday at the same location,gave it a break Wednesday, and seen a spike chasing a doe hot on her tail! Exciting to watch! Fast forawrd Thursday morning, back at where I hunted Mon/Tues at 8:15 this guy came crashing thru a thicket grunting and blowing like he was on a mission! He gave me a 40yd shot, and piled up after his 1st bound! Very grateful to be able to do what I love! Good luck to everyone hitting the deer woods! Get at them, the action is still hot in zone 11

Finally made the board. I started this season with high hopes of harvesting many deer by picking up a new area to bow hunt. Not very many deer seen in most locations and two clean misses changed that. Once the guns went off I had not seen a deer in the woods. This year has been the worst year for me in the last 20 years. At 4pm on last day this guy showed up to help me to put meat in the freezer. Thank you.
