I am 16 and I have been hunting since i was about 10. I've tried deer hunting with a gun, but i always seemed to miss[:@] Well I tried archery hunting this year. Spent over $800 on just bow and bow equip, and i have spent countless hours in the stand. Finally things paid off.
On Nov. 4,I decided to slip into my homemade treestand to hunt with my 8 yr old brother for the last hour before dark. I debated even going out to begin with. At around 4:50, my brother started saying he was seeing a deer. Of course i didn't believe him, i hadn't seen a deer all season. (4 weeks x 4+ hours a day) Well he was right. A doe had slipped in and offered me a 20 yd chip shot, clipping both of her lungs and severing the artery that runs along the spine in chest cavity. I had my first deer down, an archery deer, and my brother was there for the whole thing. I don't know who was more excited. Check out the pictures.(Hate it when people say pics.) Sorry
