My first deer ever!

minnbowhunter · 11-09-2011, 09:42 AM

I started bowhunting late last year, and after 7 or 8 sits this year I finally got my first deer! Was about a 6-yard shot at 8:15 AM, there was another one behind her but I took the larger of the two in front. Got a lung and the liver, she ran about 50 yards and dropped quickly, maybe 10 seconds after the shot (which made me happy).

That's AWESOME!!!
I'm especially jealous of the fact that it went down so quickly.....you see, I shot my first with a bow a week ago last Sunday and it ran off. After a hundred yds or so it went into a swamp and disappeared. My bro, a neighbor and I all put on waders and searched for 3 hours until it started pouring rain and we lost the blood trail.....never found him, and I still feel terrible. I DID get a buck on the firearm opener on Saturday (he only made it about 10 ft), but......well, I'll just have to do better next time.

Congrats!!! bowhunting is harder than it looks.
