Brought home another Deere.

I have hunted the same deer near my home in southern York Co. for the past 3 years, including the first 5 weeks of this years 6 week long Pa archery season. I saw him 4 times last year and only 1 time this year. He has turned almost 100% nocturnal.  So on Monday I gave up on him and I headed North to a friends camp near Austin ,Pa.   We got to camp at noon and I was in my ladder stand by 2PM.  About 4, an 8 pt came by at 35 yds, but it was a young deer and I let it pass.
Tue It poured and I spent the day in my stand crouched under an umbrella cussing myself for passing  on the 8 pt as the cold rain soaked my back.   I did see a small 6pt at 2PM. but let him pass also.
Wed. the rain stopped and I had good action watching 2 young bucks chase a doe for about 2 hours.
Then at noon this buck emerged from the hemlocks and slowly made his way toward me.  At 15 yds, he turned enough to present a good shot.
When I released the 2 bladed expanding broadhead, he dropped in his tracks.
  He's not the trophy I hunted for 3 years....maybe next year.

I was scared, as the title said "Deere"!
From the looks of the rack I would say you did alright!

This little piebald doe hangs out on our lease and allowed me to get within 30 yds with no concern.    The four brown deer with her take off as soon as you move .
