NY Fisherman - Hunting and BSn Thread 2014

Congrats looks like some back straps are in order for your dinner in the near future

Thanks guys, this deer had a slug hole through the backstraps, high hit, I could tell he had a wound so I dumped him.
Although he was getting along just fine walking through the woods, morally I felt I had to shoot him.
I had set my sights on a 3 1/2 yr old, but this was a nice 2 1/2 yr old anyhow, still got late season for a brute.
Twenty minutes after I shot an old friend came along tracking the deer in the snow, he was glad someone
had knocked the buck down. I told him no less than a dozen times that he was more than welcome to have the deer since he
might of at some point caught up to the deer in the snow, but he was insistent that I keep the deer. I did what I felt was the
right thing to do, first, shoot the deer, and second, offer it to the first guy that had a hit on it.
I told him "I never would have seen the deer if you hadn't hit it", and he said "I never would have seen it again if you hadn't
shot it". We both laughed and agreed we needed to get together again and catch up after years of absence.

Invite him over for a little barbecued venison.

Thanks guys. It really was a fun morning in the woods. Also saw a fisher and a coyote that I could not get a shot at. Nothing like a nice snow falling and a buck appearing out of nowhere!
