RE: did you get a deer your fist hunting season?
My first time hunt, my oldest brother took me with him to a friends hunting place where there were 5 other hunters.The night before opening day we were all sitting around the dinner table and me being a cocky young punk I claimed I would have one down by 8:30. They all laughed at me.They told me where to go in the morning. It was a place they did not want to hunt.I snuck inin the dark half scarred of the dark. Climbed a tree and set in the crook of the tree. No stand. Around 8:15a huge doe walked right under me about 20 ft away. Made a great shot and was so proud. Took out my paper instructions and did a half ass gut job. Went back to camp and told them what I did. They all laughed at me again. They all got in the truck and drove down to see it. They were not laughing anymore! I'm 50 now and have a whole wall of racks, but that is my most memorable hunt.
