I got my first deer (a doe), the last afternoon of the last day of season. A friend and I were walking back to the car in the middle of the afternoon because schedules wouldn't allow us to remain out at sunset. Spooked her out of some field edging and were able to take her home.

I've gotten a deer each year since, including this year, my fourth year hunting. Of course, this year was with a bow so I'm particularly happy with this one. And gun season opens Saturday.
