Andy bags an 8 pointer

8 point buck
This 8 point buck was taken at 30 yards with
a Remington 870.

The first day of deer season I decided I was going to try to find a new spot to hunt on my property. I wasn't unhappy with my normal spot, I just wanted to take some pressure off my favorite spot. I mushed into the woods at 6am, an hour before sunrise and picked out a tree that I thought was straight enough to get up with my climbing tree stand. I was wrong.

Turns out there was a knot on the side the tree that I hadn't noticed which only allowed me to get about 9 feet up the tree. I wasn't overly happy with the height, but I had a good view of at least 3 game trails, so I decided I would stay put and strap in for the day. Around 12 that day I noticed a buck looking at me from the brush about 30 yards away.

NY Hunters Voice Frustration With Fee Increase

All across the state of New York it's a common theme among sportsmen and women, the fee hikes set in place by the state are outrageous. The increases for licenses can range anywhere from 25-65% depending on the license being purchased, and for the first time the state is requiring it's residents to purchase their doe tags for $5, they had originally been free.
