Only 1 over 125 in NY, which was 142"

In total in the last 5 years in NY

142"
122"
121"
113"
108"

The 122" and the 113 were confirmed 4+ years old.

The 108 may have been over 3.5 , very big body, and the 122, was 2.5-3.5.

All deer were shot in southen NY or on right on the CT/NY border.

16. If you care to share what did you select on the poll = 4

Last season was the 1st year I used beast tactics, and the first year of my life I didn't kill one. (I did film 3 whitetail and 2 mulie kills tho ) I am scouting harder than ever and I'm confident 2015 will be my year for my first solid marsh kill. Can't wait to find some more beds and put together the pieces of what I learned in 2014.

I know of a few Connecticut'ers that do well, not much public and land and the private land owners are pricky about permission...

What's funny about this thread and my question about traveling...
One of my buddies was fortunate to hunt a dozen years ago with a friend down in CT on private and he killed his biggest buck to date after +25 years of hunting - 1st year in CT and 105"!!!
In 2013 he shot his 1st big buck of NH (around 95-100") took him +35 years - HMMMM!!!! And CT is not the Mid-West by any means...
New England is tough!

I’ve shot 2 in Michigan both with a bow that would gross over 125 in 27 years. Both on private and farm land. I’ve got maybe 10 that would score between 100-120. None were onbait or a food plot. One property had food plots on it but I wasn’t hunting. Both were about 2 hours from my house
