Doe Harvest With A Bow

Well, I have to say. I am very happy because I was able to harvest my very first deer with archery hunting here in PA. I have been seeing several small bucks and several does but couldn't get anything to come within range.

I was hunting one of the more productive stands late one evening and had seen several doe in and out of the area. One doe in particular stayed around for a while eating in the area. It finally came within range and I was able to get an arrow in her.

At the advice of my dad, we decided to let her lay as it was almost 7:00pm and I wasn't sure I had made a good shot or not. I thought I had hit her alittle bit back from where I needed to hit her. So, the next day, we set out to find her. We located her about 60 yards from my stand. It was cold enough that night to leave her as to not spoil the meat. WOW!! I was so excited! I couldn't believe it.

Here is a picture of my doe. Check it out!





Best of luck on your next hunt,

How Old Are These Bucks?

Here are some more photos from our deer cameras. Take a look. There are some nice eight point bucks out there that I am trying to harvest. It is now archery season in PA and I have been out a few times. I have seen up to 10 deer so far but nothing came close enough to me for me to get a shot. When I was exiting the woods and walking into the field. I saw a few deer already eating in the field. I stood and watched for a few minutes. I then decided to exit because it was dark and I walked out of the field and saw another deer to the north eating in the field. I took out my binoculars and to my amazement, it was a nice big rack. I assume it was and eight point but I couldn't be sure because it was dark, but I could see the nice tall rack and wide spread. I then looked to the woodline and noticed another deer coming out to eat. I used the binoculars and yet again, it was a buck. Not just a small buck, this was a bigger buck than the first one. Huge racks, nice spread! WOW! I would like to see that one in the daytime. Its getting exciting....I will let you know how it goes as the season goes on.







Nice eight point, right.

Best of luck on your next hunt,
