Moose Droppings

Bow season here in NC starts this Saturday but with the warm temperatures and the early goose season it’s hard for me to get to excited about deer hunting. I stumbled across this article about a new Massachusetts Non Typical Archery Record.

I first started hunting in Massachusetts while in college and learned a lot in those early days. I planned my fall semester around deer season and you can bet on opening day I was to sick to attend any of my classes.

I haven’t hunted in Massachusetts in like 15 years but it’s good to see that the herd is growing and there is still those who carry on the old traditions . Check out this story and see if it doesn’t get you itching to sit in a tree.

Massachusetts’ New Non-Typical Record Buck

Larry Berestka’s amazing Worcester County trophy ranks No. 1 in the state for archery non-typicals, and he took it with a recurve bow! Here’s his story. (August 2006)

Larry Berestka is an old-school archer who shoots recurves with feathered arrows, no sights and lots of confidence. He stays focused on patterning deer, hunting under the right conditions and setting up killer stands.

Archery has evolved into owning the best equipment and knowing how to tune it. But to traditional archers like Berestka, bowhunting is about confidence in your ability to make a shot when it counts. You certainly can’t argue with his results: This past season, Berestka arrowed the new Massachusetts archery record non-typical buck!
