The buck was a 7 pt 13 inch spread,but his biggest yet.
He has a nice ladder
stand with roof I set for him but he shot this buck standing on the ground right
next to it.
I would have let it walk but he was thrilled and that made me
VERY HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY!
I bought a used Ten Point so he could use my Ten
Point which has taken a buck for 4 yrs in a row now.
He has some real knuckle
heads hunting around him in gun season so he was ready to try archery.
I know not everyone likes x bows but I could never get him out with a compound and this never would have happened.
I guese now I can focus on my buck tag WHATS NEXT
I love archery season.

Nice! Congratulations on a nice hunt and helping your dad.

Nice Buck, congrats to him ...

Nice buck. Congrats!

Awesome. Love to see generations enjoying the outdoors. 

Awesome!! 

I went over to my dads today he is still GLOWING with joy! We went up and walked his 20 ac. and talked about deer signs and land management plans a lil'. He has been discouraged by gun season results but this hunt has gotten him right back into it GREAT to see. Just another vote here for NO SUNDAY HUNTING not trying to open that can of worms again but it is nice to go out and not worry about pushing deer to other hunters 1 day a week.

I can only imagine how he feels now!!!...Just a thought here...not trying to open a can of worms...but here's my view on Sunday hunting.....Take into account guys like me, who never get to hunt during the week because we have little to no vacation and get out of work too late to hunt.  I only hunt in NY because i can hunt on Sundays. It makes it sooooo much easier for all hunters. I have never heard anyone over there say how mad they were about guys hunting on Sunday and how many more deer get shot than PA.  There is absolutely nothing wrong with the deer herd in NY. As a matter of fact, we see more deer AND deer just as big as Gary Alt's Big Bucks with NO ANTLER RESTRICTIONS over there.  If you dont want to hunt on Sundays, Dont. Post your land, do whatever, but some of us would really love the opportunity.  Sorry to get off topic here but i had to throw my two cents in here. 

I respect yours and others opinion and probably would feel the same if my work wasn't flexible.
I just like it the way it is AR and no Sunday hunting.
Does NY have as may hunters per square mile and as many doe tags handed out?
AR are really working in my opinion bucks are bigger on average and some real big boys being killed.I just wish there were not as many does being killed.
Opinions vary that's fine everyone is different but we all are in this together and need to follow regs however the are written PEACE BRO!
