Trad Gang

I got up early on Saturday and headed out behind the house to sit a stand I haven't spent much time in . The first while was quiet , tried the can a few times on and off but nothing . Alittle after eight I tipped the can again and about five minutes later this fork horn comes trotting down off the hill . Now being as I haven't gotten a buck with trad bow yet he met my specs. He comes around some trees and is inside ten yard and I bleat to stop him . He stops but starts again before I can get settled , so I bleat again and get him stopped long enough to get the shot off. After the doe earlier in the season I was aiming plenty close to the front shoulder . I hit right in the shoulder and he went down and ended up behind a small tree . I still wanted to make a quick job of it so I added a couple more arrows in the boiler room to end it . There is a steep gully within yards of him and did not want him down there either . I was very pleased for the fine table fair and gift from the great spirit . Now if I could get some pics up with some help again ( Ken, Aram) ?  Thanks for listening and the best of luck to all :0) Drew

Nice buck!!! Hey you guys are fellow New Yorkers. Is there any trad. organizations here near the Rochester area??

Not sure, but I do know of some special, well-organized hunts you can go to if your up for a drive...

bowspirit, I am totally willing to drive!! So few trad hunters in the Rochester area!

Well, there's always the Adirondack Attack, which just took place in October. Not to mention the Joan Leonard Memorial Bunny Hunt...what a blast. That takes place in Selkirk, and is coming up this february...

bunny hunt sounds fun!
