I retired a couple of years ago and went deer hunting for the first time just inside of Brown County this season. Saw two does wandering by and heard a buck come running off to my left. 3 hours out and I had my first buck, As stated I don't know much about this stuff yet but my son, who has been an avid hunter for years said it was about 175 lbs. It felt like a ton by the time we drug it out of the woods. I have always hiked, fished a lot and camped, just never much of a hunter. Went a couple times as a kid. I am going to love hunting.
