Default First season tag down, alot to learn with Camera!!

Well Me and Dad went out for a evening hunt today and I was able to fill a tag. I got off this morning and finished up camera mount and then was able to get about three hours of sleep before I went out tonight. Was all excited about the whole camera thing. Right about half way into the last magical half hour of the hunting time I here some grunts and noise. Look over and there is a deer coming broad side. I go into full Camera Fever mode and grab CB, turn on the Sony, look at deer, no horns, done deal! But I had some major ground shrinkage with this one, turned out to be a button buck, was so caught up in the entire camera thing and it was pretty dark in the swamp and it was all over before it started. One bad thing did happen with the camera. I had the zoom all the way in when I first got set up, thought that would be best. Well my camera has auto focus on it, so the clearest part of the film before the shot is my B-Head! You can see deer, but it is just a little out of focus since the auto focus is on the arrow. learning curve I guess. But I think I have some good footage and will edit and compress tomorrow after I cut up the deer. I can not say for sure if I would have passed up on this one though to be honest. I made a comment in Planters post about trophy's. I passed up deer last year since I wanted a nice buck. Had visions all summer long of deer that were within range, but I had passed on. SO I told myself before season started that bad luck comes to the first brown thing with four legs on my first tag. Sorry it had to be thisguy. But as we all know, them little ones sure do taste the best!!

Also the second pic is of the cut with the Tekan II's!!! I am very happy with it. Made a nice wide hole and was fully open as it went in! Thanks G5!! Deer only ran about forty yards! Double lung and severed the main pipes coming off the heart, just missed heart by about 1/2 inch!
