Lone Wolf, I killed my first deer the same day in the same youth hunt!
Mine was a 3pt spike (one of the antlers broken off) harvested at 25 yards with my Remington Model 673 .308 Win. The high shoulder shot dropped him, immediately.
Man, I saved up allowance money for over a year, and even then my dad had to give me a "loan" that it took several more months to pay off. Such a special time.
