EARNED | Early Season Connecticut Buck | 9.17.2024

Going into my 10th bow season, I knew things needed to change in order to get better results than years past. Summer of 2024 I had dedicated more time, energy, and effort into bowhunting and chasing whitetail than any summer previous; and it payed off in a big way come the evening of September 17th.

A nice reward for all your hard work 👍

[@theavidsportsman9490]

Yes it was!

[@thomasdoheny8096]

Great job it’s nice to see another fellow Connecticut bowhunter be successful on film. I’ve tried harvesting a buck on film and it’s difficult to say the least operating. The camera by yourself is much harder than it looks so respect. Congratulations.

[@theavidsportsman9490]

Appreciate it! Self-filming isn’t easy, especially when there’s a mature buck in shooting range, but definitely rewarding to be able to go back and relive the hunt. Good luck this season!

[@johngeist-dt2ks]

Great job used to live in ct miss hunting and fishing there some of my best memories are still in the state

[@theavidsportsman9490]

Thank you! I love living here, I actually caught a bunch of bluefish before sitting in the stand this hunt, not many places you can fish and then shoot a deer a few hours later

[@alexanderblaszczyk4783]

@@theavidsportsman9490 hey I used to live in Bristol haha now I’m in Dartmouth mass I do the same go fish for albies and we open up October 7 so I can’t wait to be in the saddle

[@theavidsportsman9490]

Won’t be long!

[@Sk8Riffer]

Hell Yeah! I've been out 4 times and two of them saw deer, just no shots presented themselves. Still early in the season, but that's a great way to start it off, congrats.

[@theavidsportsman9490]

Thanks! That’s sweet, after the long summer it’s nice just to see them when you’re out there.

[@clayfarley]

Great buck! Great video! Keep up the good work!

[@theavidsportsman9490]

Thanks Clay!

[@richardreynolds3597]

I hunt in Guilford, CT and had 3 does under my stand on Thursday. Could not get a shot off due to the fact they were on my back side. The season is early and I have time on my side..... Great job and Thank you for the videos!

[@theavidsportsman9490]

The season is still early! I appreciate the kind words. And this hunt took place in Madison, not far from where you at, lots of deer in the area. Good luck this season!

[@josiahhage3368]

nice buck bro!

[@theavidsportsman9490]

Thanks man!

[@robertbergeron9524]

Nice buck. I wasn't aware you can use screw in tree steps on state land

[@theavidsportsman9490]

Thank you! This was private land. My
plan was to hunt state land, but this buck changed that plan.

[@Jacob_Parker_Outdoors]

You can use screw in steps and bow hangers on state land. A Deep captain confirmed this. It's like tapping maple trees.
