Ed Conolly rattled in this giant 9 pointer on November 16th right after a rain storm had passed. As the buck approached Ed grunted at him, but he ignored it. Ed tried again, this time louder, and the buck didn't seem to notice. Finally, he tried a snort wheeze and that did it! The buck snapped its head around looking right towards Ed and then started coming in.

The buck briefly disappeared into some thick stuff before returning with a doe 10 minutes later. The buck was around for almost 20 minutes before Ed was finally able to slip an arrow through the monster at 24 yards. The buck made it 35 yards before pilling up and was Ed's third deer of the season. Earlier this season Ed had taken two does. Congrats to Ed on an awesome New York whitetail!
