We're all done down here didn't shoot a buck with my bow, but did shoot one with my rifle ( first buck ever) shot him new years eve, I was in my ladder stand hunting trying to put some more meat in the freezer. I hunted with my bow until i couldn't see my pins which happens way to quick with my cheap sight ( just got my new one in that i got for xmas). so i hung my bow and picked up my rifle, i gave a couple of grunts and about 45 seconds later i hear leaves and grass crunching and something was moving in a hurry my way. i saw that it was a deer but couldn't tell buck or doe because it was behind a tree with its head down, i raised my scope and was trying to see where it was, as i did it must have snuck past because i couldn't find it. looked up and there it was with its head down again, i aimed and right as i was about to pull the trigger it raised its head and i saw its antlers. i let him have it and he went about 30 feet, my only "regret" not that its a regret on my first buck was that i couldnt take him with my bow. he is definatly not a huge deer but still quite large for my area
