Personally, I had an awful season compared to years past. I started hunting on September 15th when Connecticut's archery season opened, then I began hunting New York on October 15th, made a 10-day trip to Kansas during November and then finished the year back in New York and Connecticut. I closed the season with one doe down in New York and another in Connecticut. Luckily there's a January season in Connecticut so I'll have two tags to fill next month!
Even with the warm weather, never ending full moon and lack of food, some hunters were able to get it done and put their tag on a big buck. Each season I get hundreds of texts and emails from hunters across the state showing off their bucks. Some of these pictures come directly from the hunter and others get sent around from person to person and no one ends up knowing anything about the photo being sent around.
Here's a few pictures I was sent this year that are part of the latter group. I don't know who any of these hunters are or the story behind the deer, but they're supposedly all from Westchester County during the 2011 archery season. So now that we have a big mystery, check out the photos and if you're the hunter or you know the story behind the buck let us know because we'd love to hear the story!
1. This first buck is a great big 8 pointer with a cool kicker off his left G2
2. Just another great big 8 pointer
3. This looks to be a 10 pointer with decent mass and tine length. A great buck for our part of the state.
4. Looks like this buck was taken off the power lines somewhere in Westchester. What's really cool about this buck is the matching split G2's.
5. This might be my favorite buck, I think I'll name him "Masszilla"
Happy New Year everyone!
I got an email today regarding buck #1 above. The buck was shot in Westchester County on opening day and scores in the low 140's.
