My first buck was the first 10 minutes of my hunting life. I wandered to a stand that I aimlessly put up. Sat down, nocked an an arrow and a 120" 3.5 year old 8 pointer came right into me. 20 yards quartering away double lung done deal . 100% complete luck. I really had no clue what I was doing. Since then I've come to realize it isn't that easy .
