Officer Eric Minter stopped this 31-pointer on October 19 with an arrow from his stand in a grove of oak trees. It’s the first buck Minter has taken in eight years of bowhunting.

This 4.5-year-old whitetail grossed 217 5/8 inches typical when green-scored by an official Boone & Crockett scorer.

On Oct. 26, Bjorn Holubar shot this 200-class, 20-point, qquadruple-beamed buck. It has an excellent chance to break the New York state archery record.
