Default RE: Beginners Luck

ahh..i guess im gonna have to sling my story in here.. ever sinch i was in the 3rd grade i always wanted to go deer huntin but nobody else in my family hunted. me friends dad is a really good deer hunter and kills a 130class+ deer just about every year. well i was about 14 and he asked if i was gonna hunt that season and of couse i said "prob not but i want to" well i bought a peason bow, arrows, sights, everything i needed for $100. it was a deal. i spent some time at his house shootin it and he helped me get my shootin right. then opening day of bow season i was sitting in the edge of a field where i had been seeing these 2 8pts and a 10pts. i was facing the woods thinking they would come out of there.. haha i was wrong. they came across the field and came up behind me and stoped and just started eating 15yds from my tree. so i start shaking like crazy and trrn around, arrow hits a limb, falls off the rest. and all 3 bucks run off across the field.

opening day of gun i borrowed my grandpas 308. he said it was sighted in and would hit a penny at 100yds so i said "ok, if you say so".. that week the 10pt i iseen during bow comes walking between the 2 fields. i shoot one time..the deer just keeps walkin and never runs. i shoot 4 times all together and the deer never falls. i stayed out of school the next day looking for the deer all day in the rain. found out the fun was shootin 3ft to the left and 3ft high. another time i was useing a shotgun and one of the 8pts walked by and shoot twice..the deer never droped. guess i was shakeing so much i forgot to aim.

that by far was the season that got me into hunting like i am today. it took me 3 years of hard hunting to get my first buck. it wa a small 12in 6pt chasing a doe. i was so excited that i had finally got one. and now today after all i have had to learn on my own i see bucks all the time and have already taken 2 8pts this year. i think the first year it really got me hooked. theres no way i would have went 3 years w/o seeing nice bucks and still be hunting.
