RE: How did you get that first deer?
I passed up a small 5 pointer that was injured opening day of gun season last year (first year of hunting) my buddy saw him and let him walk thinking it would be a perfect buck for me since he hurt. I let him walk and i have no idea why, from there on i decided if its brown its down and it took probably another 20 hunts before i even saw another deer i finally shot a doe and ended having to finish the job from 5 feet away, what an experience.
