Been hunting quite a few times this season, 2-3 days a week. Have seen some deer but no good shots. I got this little button buck this morning, 20 yrd shot. My climbing stand squeaked as I stood up, and was able to time my other movements with a plane flying over. Muzzy mx3 put him down just 50 yrds away with a double lung. First deer/ bow kill. Dressed it up and took it to the processor, excited about some jerky ..
I cant believe 18 people have read this thread and no one cogratulated you. CONGRATS!!!!!!!!! It is all over now. You think you had the hunting bug before? Now that you got your first animal it only gets worse. LOL good luck!!!

Nice job man, congrats.
Alot better than me on my 1st deer. I was 12 and hunting with a
.270. Well this buck came running along the logging road and I made a perfect 20 yard shot, and he took off running. So I put the safety back on and took off running after him. Seen him laying down and when he seen me he got back up and took off running. I didn't realize he was going down to die so I shot 'em again and took off after him running. This happened once more before he died.
I laugh to myself every time I think about what I looked like.lol.
You'll have some good eating there for sure.
Good luck!
Yea unfortunately I tryed to harvest another deer, it was the exact same place/ shot. And he ran off the same way, the same direction, and I never found him, however that night it rained hard right after I got down out of the tree. And we were in the dark searching for him. Never found him, was a 4pt. I can tell ya I brought the smallest deer to the processor today haha, but it all tastes the same. Ive heard so many people tell me they hunt x amount of days and never see anything, let alone never get a shot with a bow, so I took it. Thanks for the replys.
congrats on ur first bow kill!! welcome to the brotherhood
