It's been a couple years but I was fortunate enough to make it back to my hometown in NYS, unit 8S for opening day. Hunting on my friends farm with another friend and his sons.
I was sitting out for 30 minutes when a doe came angling behind me. I was sitting on the ground in the snow with my back against a stump...She came by and then I heard the grunting. He stopped about 40 yards out looking straight at me; he knew I was there but there was no wind. I had my hood up, outline broken up....He looked at me, looked at doe and then back at me. No shot as he was facing me. If I move he bolts....
He was getting antsy. Still no shot. Then, over his right shoulder about 40 yards back in the woods, a crow went out the top of a tree making a racket Caw, Caw....He looks over his shoulder and turned broadside to look at my hunting spirit guide the crow....Fatal mistake. He went down but was trying to get up so I wanged another slug his way...and missed. But unneeded.
4 guys hunting. Three bucks killed 1st day. 9 Pt, 7 Pt and 9 pt. A great day!
