It isn't my first deer ever, it is just the first deer that i have ever lost / haven't recovered.

Well, I feel some what better.
I took my second deer taken with a bow this morning.

Took my first deer with a bow opening day evening ( 9/13/08 ).
Lost the deer the next weekend ( 9/20/08 ).
Took my second deertaken with a bow this weekend ( 9/27/08 ).
At least I can say every outing I have shot and hit a deer.
Just wish it was three for three.
