Bow opens tomorrow in the SZ in NY! Leaving this afternoon for deer camp in Steuben County. . The next 3 days with nothing to do but sit in the rain and wait for Mr. Big! Might even see some flurries Sat night.
Been watching 10 different large bucks for the last month. One is a huge, thick beamed 10 point. Another 10 point also. One 9 point. Several 8 pointers, including one very high rack. One 7 point, that I would cull if he passed by. The smallest of the bunch is a very impressive 6 point, very high and wide. Might have to let him pass until next year.
All that being said, I am first a meat hunter. I will take the rack if it presents itself first, though. With 2 bow tags and 2 DMP, I'll get more selective after I get some meat in the freezer.
Good luck to all going out this weekend.
