Default Another PA Archery Buck

Friday, October 22 I put the smack down on another nice PA buck. I watched him all week from various stands and was making changes as the week went on. I was seeing two shooter buck every day and on Wednesday I saw three shooters. Every buck I saw that week was either trailing or chasing doe. I saw this guy in the AM for about 10 seconds as he scent checked a field. That afternoon I set up a doe decoy with plenty of "stinky" to attract him. About 4:45 three doe came flying into the field chased by a spike buck. Then I saw antlers above the switchgrass strip and there he was. 45 yards. The spike came into the decoy and I thougt he'd ruin the hunt. On the contrary, the big boy saw him by the decoy and broke away from the three doe. His demeanor changed, ears back and hair standing on end. The spike ran off like a rocket. I guess he was tired of having his a$$ kicked. The buck quartered in head low and stopped, head stuck out sniffing the decoy. At 20 yards I perforated him. And it was all over but the gutting. This marked the 10th year in a row I was fortunate to take a buck with a bow. The next day doe #1 went down to my inline as it was the final day of the week long inline season. Three days later doe #2 went down at 48 yards to the bow. One doe tag remains for the Ruger #1 in .280 to be bloodied this coming weekend as our two week rifle season opens on Saturday. God bless us, everyone!!

Looks like there'll be some venison on the table to augment the turkey!

Happy Thanksgiving Mike and Sam!!

Thanks Charlie. I'm not worried, if not Saturday then Sunday evening. Plenty of targets of opportunity. All I need to do is see them in rifle season and they are assuming room temp.

Way to go Mike. I am still waiting. The guy I am after managed to stay out of sight this past weekend which was our first of a split season. I have four more days of shotgun in Dec. but I still have bow time (traditional of course) and I know he is still here because I saw him today.

Charlie, filled the last tag yesterday AM with the Ruger #1 in .280 Rem. It was at my butcher by noon. Tenderloins, backstraps, roasts, smoked kielbasa, teriyaki/cheese/jalapeno deer sticks, German bologna and ground venison with 1/3 pork added.
