My first buck..

[GR HUNTER]

My first buck!! I've never posted here before (never had anything to add!) but really enjoy reading all the great posts. Anyway, shot him opening day around 10:00 am. He managed to sneak in behind me and my stand at about 50 yds but had his head down moving at a slow enough pace that I had time to set up. Waited for him to get into a clearing where I would have a clean shot. I made a bleating sound and when he frooze and turned his head, I took the shot. He jumped about 7 feet in the air, hit the ground, tumbled twice and dropped. Needless to say, I know he's not big but I'll take it! Now I just need to convince my fiance to let me hang him somewhere.

Thanks everyone. At least I have a week left at the end of the season to prepare and try and get one with my bow now. And good luck to those of you still out there.

nice buck!!! way to go!

it is not about the horns, if you are proud of your deer then show it off. I have shot alot of deer and not one has been a wall hanger yet, and i'm still proud of everyone because i hunt hard and legal.
