My first buck came in 2002 when I was a freshmen in high school. After school I saw my dad in his car, and he was telling me to hurry up. He told me we were going hunting. So I got dressed and we went to our spots. After we got to our spots, I heard my dad start to rattle. I looked to my left and saw a big doe coming in. I had not shot a deer yet so I was going to shoot her, but then she laid down. I thought great I won't be able to shot her. Then I saw a buck about 10 feet from me! He turned a walked out in front of me. I got ready and shot him. Since I was hunting out of a ground blind my dad and I made I had to sit still for a while so the buck I shot wouldn't see me. Well mydad and I tracked him and after about 60 yards we found him. He was a non-typical 8-pointer. I killed him on Nov. 6th 2002.
