Title: A first
Post by: albrubacker on September 03, 2015, 05:00:13 PM
Our archery season opened Sept 1. I made it out that afternoon. Was set up in the tree by 3:30 on a fence row between two standing corn fields. Around 7 a small fork horn came wandering out of the corn. I watched him for 15-20 min when he started looking over his shoulder. So I started checking the field with bino's and found him. It took a few minutes and he worked his way toward me. Took the shot at 25 yrds, he made it 40 yrds. It is the first buck I ever harvested in velvet.

Nice.  Is that a shadow or his coloration that runs across his nose/face?

Congrats!

Delaware has fair non resident license fees. Our archery season runs from Sept 1 - Jan 31. If you purchase the buck tags you get a total of 6 tags.
