Mike Sweet Elmira NY Buck
I got this guy the last hour of the last day of bow season. I just got out of work on Friday Nov. 16 at 2:30 had my gear in the truck and thought I would try a new spot and hope for the best. Two weeks prior to this day I let my friend Brian Ameigh hunt my stand where he shot a very nice 8 point.

Well as luck would have it I sat in his stand the last day. Not really expecting to see a whole lot I saw a doe come through with a nice 8 behind it, they went high up the hill followed by another doe. Thinking that was going to be the highlight of my night, man was I wrong! about 15 mins. after they left I heard some crashing and antlers clashing.

I pulled out my Primos bleat can and used it, thinking that either way one of them one was on the trail of a hot doe. They were fighting like hell and when I used my can they split up and the bigger one came my way.

The buck I harvested came within 10 yards of my stand and I got a good look at him and I realized that I had to take him. It was a perfect shot, he went down within 20 yards. I knew when I hit him that he was a good buck but when I got up to him I realized that he was bigger than I thought. This is the nicest buck that I have taken with my bow. The buck is estimated to score 130.

As Mike stated, he hunts a lot with Brian Ameigh. Here is a running log of animals Mike and Brian harvested in 2007 from the same treestand Mike shot the buck above from. Mike and Brian will be guiding for the 2008 hunting season. We get to go first!

Great Job Mike,
