The first buck I shot was in Upstate Western NY and it was the last day of the season and I am the only one who hasnt got a deer yet. My buddies strart to drive a hedgrow and low and behold, out comes a nice 8pt. I aim for the shoulder and hit him in the neck. Didint know how I missed my mark but at least it was in the neck and it was a bang flop. My first deer!I was so proud. So, when my buddies made it to the spot, we rolled the buck over and it was all gang green from the brisket down. Kept the antlers but didnt even attempt the meat. F&G came out and issued me a new tag about 2 hrs before the sun went down. No venicin for me that year. My rear sight had got knocked loose and thats why I didnt hit my mark. Serves me right for not checking it for THE WHOLE SEASON! [:@]
