Here's an update on our giant Long Island buck. I got an email from the hunter, Bjorn Holubar, the other morning with these great photos of the deer and a little more on what happened.

It was Monday, October 26th when Bjorn entered the woods. He made his way through a briar patch making a racket and using his rattle bag to sounds like a big buck fight. About an hour and a  half later a nice buck came into the area Bjorn had just had the mock fight in.


Bjorn reached for his grunt tube and gave a few grunts to bring the deer closer. When the deer was at 35 yards he let the arrow fly and watched as the arrow hit its mark and the buck spun and ran off. Bjorn was so excited that he got out of his stand and ran to the buck just 25 yards from where he was shot.


This monster buck was aged at 6 1/2 years old, has 20 scorable points, weighted 205 pounds dressed and has unofficially scores 209" - what a monster buck! This will definitely be one of the largest bucks ever taken in New York. Congrats to Bjorn and his amazing buck.
