Happy to see these show up!!

where is THIS is NY? I've only seen one deer like this in 6 years in the Hudson Valley.
Hope you get a shot at em!
 
I ain't tellin' LOL!!!! WNY!!! I almost fell out of my chair when I was reviewing my SD Cards tonight!!! There's another one with him almost just as big too.
 
HAHA! I wouldn't tell anyone either! i hope you get a shot at them. One for bow and the other for rifle.

A few years ago I had this buck on my camera and almost s*** a brick. He was right in front of my stand, 5 yards - but I never saw him in day light- he was just cruisin by.

Western NY has some great bucks,the soil there is right for big racks. Someday i will have to travel out that way and hunt some public there. Good luck with those !!!
 
This particular peace of land has had several nice bucks taken off of it over the years. My best buck so far was from this land and it green scored 132 7/8 P&Y my best bow kill to date. Others have shot deer in the 140's and 150's (gun) before my buddy purchased this property. About 10 years ago I shot a decent 8 pt. on the opening day of shotgun season but there is some rough terrain that they like to bed in and for whatever reason he didn't go down right off the bat and since I was right on a ridgetop he popped right back down into those steep ravines. After cresting over the ridge on his blood, I saw a flicker to my left and a nice doe walked by and right on her tail was a bruit that was bigger than this deer. I put my open sighted Auto5 16gauge on his shoulder but just watched him walk out of my life forever, knowing I had the smaller 8 eight I had to still retrieve. As he passed by only 20 yards away, he shook his headgear back and forth like "shoulder to shoulder" not left to right and let me tell you, it was like he was braggin' about his rack and saying ha ha, you should been more patient sucker!! Anyway..... hopefully this one survives and I see him in my sights this year. We always get decent bucks on camera but by bow season they're holed up like no tomorrow.

We do have great antler potential up here and yes our soils are good but we also have a ton of pressure!!!
