Here is a buck behind my son's place in Upstate New York, you can see one of his tree stands behind the deer.

Congrats. I was up in the hills at my friend's place yesterday, hoping to be able to post a pic of a crossbow harvested deer on here today. But here's about all that I saw from 11:20 am to 5:30 pm. Got a decent doe at this spot last Nov. 8th and decided to try the same place again. It was a nice day in the upper 40's with zero wind and overcast skies, but there was nothing moving at all other than chipmunks, woodpeckers, (including a large pileated woodpecker), and only one squirrel.
. Although I must admit that it was so silent and calm up there with only the sound of nature, that despite the deer not cooperating with my wishes, it was a very enjoyable outing.

I didn't bring the pup yet but I saved the wings for some retrieval training. My first mallard drake and he's a stud. The only duck I saw all day and only required one shot as he was coming into the decoys

Nice Buck
Our rifle season starts Saturday, and I’m like a kid. Lol. Still seeing them all bunched up here. I’m guessing the weather may have the rut a little late here this year.

Nice buck, congrats!
Rut is starting here. I saw a nice buck chasing does close to my big blind. I also realized that I forgot my pop-up blind back in my turkey woods....
it's been set up since spring.....I forgot all about it when we got busy with our planting season. Oops. .

The rut is on in Central Wisconsin. This little freezer buck was chasing a doe. First deer that I have shot with a crossbow.

Congrats.... exactly one year after my first crossbow deer. Never even saw a buck all last season while I was hunting. But last Nov. 8th I managed to get a decent size doe at about 30 lasered yards with an Excalibur crossbow.
