First Deer Ever

Big Ol Gobbler · 11-21-2006, 08:49 PM

I'm new to deer hunting and muzzleloading, at age 36, but was able to harvest my first deer Saturday morning. She wasn't a large doe but was the third deer I saw and decided I may not have too many more opportunities. CVA Kodiak, 295 gr PowerBelt, 95 gr 3F Pinnacle, 30-40 yards through the heart and part of the lungs. She ran about 10 yrds and fell over. I'm very blessed. Heading out again tomorrow... kids want me to bring home a big ol buck. Oh the pressure.[

Congratulations, I know the feeling when you see the smoke and deer down. Good luck on that buck.

congratulations on the taking of your first deer.There is no better table fare then a nice doe. Maybe with the kids cheering you on, you will be able to score on a big buck as well. Good luck.

No big ol buck yesterday... I'll keep tryin'! Didn't even see a deer. I guess with all of the activity in the forest, I'm hunt public land, the deer are a bit skiddish. Oh well, a poor day in the woods is better than a good day in the office.

Way to Go BOG!
That doe ought to be real tasty.
Good luck on getting a buck, but keep on hunting and pass it on to your kids.
