Scouting is in full swing, who's found a monster buck. 2 so far, about 4 miles apart. I hope I don't end up with white out conditions this year!

OK, Does any one hunt in NH. I know some great places( no people or structures for many, many miles) I would love to exchange some info w/ serious hunters. JP

Hi Jp, welcome to the forum, I also live and hunt whitetails in NH, I have spots in three areas, southern NH, close to my house, Loudon area and Lancaster area,

I scored a nice doe with the bow, I wrote a little about how it
Went and attached a few pictures as well, hope all is well.
Last Sunday around 06:00 Sept25, 2005 took a fifty-five yard shot, might be sixty
Yards, clear of sight up hill at a nice adult doe, she was cresting the
Field on top and I was on the brook bottom, I walk down the brook to
Quite my entrance to the forest, like the native Indians did, after
Crossing the brook. There is a road. An old logging road kind of grown in
Leads to the field, I stopped to take a look around, and then I spotted
Movement, I see the doe cross the opening to the logging road, and she
Looks down at my direction, I stayed still, and then she continued to walk
Around the fringe, I see a opening good enough for a clear shot, then
She stops in it, I drew and aimed and let it fly, I hear a loud cracking
Sound, like someone broke a big branch, then she blew spun around in a
Circle and headed for the ridge, she jumped the wall and ran down the
Ridge, like nothing was wrong with her, but then I herd crashing at the
Base of the ridge, well I thought to my self I either hit her or a
Branch I did not see, so I waited about twenty minuets due to it was
Getting dark fast, I got to the spot I shot at her, did not find blood
Right away, until I went over the wall, then it looked like paint cans
Of blood was thrown from one side to the other of the deer path, then I
Knew she was hit good, found her at the bottom about sixty yards down the
Ridge, I knew I better get gutting, it was almost dark now and under the
Tree line it was, so I called a friend to meet me to help drag her out,
I was not sure if there was a pass through, so when I opened her up. I
Used my knife to feel around for the broad head incase it snapped off in
Side her, boy that would cut you up; when I turned her over I could see
The exit wound, then I knew the arrow passed through, my friend Wayne
Came just in time to drag her out, she was all dressed out, we dragged
Her to the fields edge, then I got my jeep and drove it across the
Field and mounted her to the roof racks for safe travel, bungee her up
Good, I was using a Pierson Spoiler at 85pds with a overdraw, 28 inch
2215 eastons, 125gr Bear claw broad heads, freeflight release, fiber optic
Illuminated bead sight, zero to sixty yards she is dead on, good to go. Came
Back the next day to find the arrow, forty yards beyond where I passed
Through the deer, I had to do a CSI to find it though it was not easy, I
Tried to figure the trajectory of the flight of the arrow after the pass
Through the deer’s shoulder and out the left front shoulder, it worked,
the arrow was stuck in the ground pretty good and
The fletching was flat down to the shaft, and covered with blood. There
Are many deer in this small area, really too many doe's, I counted early
Season twenty does, so I did not feel bad shooting some table fair, now
I’m back to trophy hunting; there is a huge 12 pointer and a good ten in
The area, but the season is early and still on the warm side, the bucks
Are slower to react till the cold snap hits, that’s when I use drags and
Mock scrapes to get the bucks going, it works every year. Oh bye the way
The doe dressed out at 150 pds good size doe around five years old in
Great condition, the shot was behind the shoulder and exited at the
Other shoulder. I will attach some pictures as well. Take care my friends. Aim small hit small. RAMbo.
