Went up to NY this past weekend to partake in the early doe hunt with my dad. About 40 minutes into my first hunt from a saddle, and about 20 minutes into the season, I had one come in about 35 yards and I smoked her with the bow. Later that night I got another adult doe with the bow from the saddle at about 12 yards. I'm liking this type of hunting for sure. Now to try it out this weekend in FL.

Congrats on the deer, saddle successes, and best of all good times hunting with Dad!
I'm not a huge fan of the DEC allowing firearms hunting in some zones before archery season starts, but stories like yours take the stink off a regulation I don't care for and pump me up for the regular archery season opener OCT1.
Hope you'll be back for more NY hunts and have more successes to share.
