RE: Beginners Luck
I was 17 when I first deer hunted, went out on my grandparents farm a small woods about 6-8 acres, no one ever deer hunted it. Got up in my stand and was there only about 30 minutes when a big 9 point came walking across the field, he was just about ready to step into the woods about 25 yrds out when he got a sniff of me as he spun around I shot hit him high on the back, 12 gauge with no scope. Dropped right there. Live weight 225 lbs field dressed at 199 lbs. He's hanging on the wall in my office right now.......have shot several since then but only had a chance at one that big since. It made me want to hunt more, not the opposite.
