This has probly already been done but since ima newbe, imagonna do it again.

I shot my first deer in upstate, western NY. I used a Rem 870 with a Hastings Barrel. It was the last day of the season andI am the only person who hasnt gotten a deer yet. (no doe tag) So my buddies put on a drive for me and about 15 min into it I saw a nice 8 point come out of the hedgerow. Sent a slug into its shoulder and down it went. By the time everybody got over to me I was so proud, my first deer. When I rolled it over to field dress it, we saw it was all gangreen from the belly down to the scrotum. We figured it had been gutshot during bow season and never found. The meat was no good but I kept the antlers. DFG came out and gave me a new tag but it was the last day so........At least I put the poor deer out of its misery.
