Homebuilt;
  Congrats on your great season, some fine looking racks there !  Roughly, where do you live/hunt in NY ?  I am in the southwestern tier area.

Congrats on the deer. Our camp has a 9 point to a crossbow and a 10 point to a bow both rattled in within 25 yrds. Then in rifle season we have a 10 point and a fork horn so far. We passed on several other bucks during muzzleloading season and no telling how many does. We are looking to take two more mature bucks if the right ones present themselves and two does then no more. Our 93 year old dad has a green light on whatever he gets a chance at LOL.
Me and the oldest son have been set up over a hog run trying to thin out some of them since they are feeding well on the corn feeders at night.
Deer hunting is mostly fun then you shoot one and it turns to work.

Congrats, great looking deer.  It has been a much better season here in West Texas than I expected. My son took a nice nine last Saturday; I took a respectable eight Sunday.  To have survived the drought they are in very good shape, lots of fat and coats slick as can be.  I have seen more bucks so far this year than all season last year, there is a monster running the creek that runs thru my place, I have seen him twice, my said he has also seen it, maybe we can get a shot this week-end.
