Default RE: what was your first deer?

140# doe. It wasDec. 3, 1994. I was10 years old andwas on crutches from a hip surgery I had only 2 weeks before. I was unable to climb a stand (obviously) and getting up from sitting was painful so I stood all morning. Around 8:15 am 2 does walked up the bluff and stood just inside the timber about 10 yds away. I took aim and pulled the trigger. They both ran into the standing corn and I waited by the truck that was only 30 yards behind me. My dads friend walked up and asked if I got one. I said no I think I missed and he told me he heard it running through the corn and stop. I took him to where I had shot and we walked into the cornfield. About 5 rows in we found blood and about 15 rows farther there she laid.Ill never forget it.
