The New York bowhunting season is underway in both the Northern and Southern Zones and the trophy bucks that have been arrowed to date are eye-opening.
There are more hunters in the woods this season -- both male and female -- due to the fact the state Department of Environmental Conservation offered bowhunting safety courses completely online this year due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
The early Northern Zone season opened Sept. 23 and ends today (Oct. 23). The late season in the Northern Zone, only in certain wildlife management unit (WMUs) lasts from Dec 1-17. The early Southern Zone season started Oct. 1 and continues until Nov. 20. The late season is from Dec. 14-22.
The following photos were submitted by hunters from both zones.
Tom Powers, of Gorham, N.Y. arrowed this impressive 11-point buck on Oct. 17 in South Bristol in Ontario County. He wrote: "I harvested this buck at 9 a.m. He was grunting and chasing a doe. He came to 20 yards broadside (before I shot). He has mass, beam length, spread and all the elements for an archery buck dream for every bow hunter."
Connor Dawson wrote: "This deer was arrowed on 10/14/2020 in Monroe County / 8H. The shot was 15 yards from the ground sitting in a hedgerow with no blind. It was a main frame 10 with a 1.25 in kicker so I believe its a 11 point. I live in Scottsville NY. "
Andy Antalek, of Vestal, N.Y., arrowed this 18-point buck on land he owns in Broome County on Oct. 4. It was a 20-yard shot, he said,
Kiera Cooley, of Watkins Glen, arrowed this 12-point buck on Oct. 10 in Tompkins County, just outside of Ithaca. She wrote: " This buck was aged by the taxidermist to be four years old, and green/gross scored at 156". It was a 15-yard shot from my tree stand."
