Some folks need to read the original poster's actual post, not just the subject.
Anyway, my first buck and first deer was in 1988. I had just turned 15 and it was my 4th year hunting and my 3rd opening day in PA buck camp. At this time you got one tag in PA and you pretty much shot any buck you were lucky enough to see. I was hunting in a stand that I had inheireted from another member of our camp in the morning and did not see much of anything all morning. I heard a shot near one of our other guys' stands and got down to warm up and head back to camp to see who shot. One of the guys from camp had shot a little buck and suggested I go sit in his stand. He walked out with me to his stand. There was already another hunter in it. We politely asked him to leave (private land) and I hunted the stand. Around 1:30 is saw a deer moving out of the thicket off to my left. I could see he had antlers so I found him in the Weaver scope atop my 30-30 Savage pump and fired 3 rounds before he was down.
He was a spike with 9 inch spikes and a 3rd point on his one brow. He may as well have been a Booner I was so happy. Everyone at camp was happy as well and it was a good deer camp.
