Default RE: Share your first buck kill stories!!!

It was october 16 1998,my first year bowhunting(started rifle hunting in 1989)I got up at 4 am and headed out to my treestand,was sitting down at 4:45.I sat till I could see and knocked an arrow.It was so dark that morning i coulden't see my hand in front of my face.Anyways around 7 the deer started moving around and i had spotted 9 does and yearlings,some right under my stand but i was waiting for a buck.At around 8:15 i heard a snap behind me and i turned very slowly around in my stand and a deer was coming up from behind me.He stoped at exactly 19 yards to feed on the grass under some leaves and i let the arrow fly.It was a perfect double lung hit.I sat in my stand still shaking for a few minutes and got out real quiet and went to my friends house just down the road to have a coffee and call my buddy rob up.He was there in 15 min and we went out to retrieve my deer.The buck only went about 45-50 yards and piled up,I was so happy we got pictures and gutted him out and prepaired for the long drag back to the truck.He was only a 1.5 year old 7 point(8 pt with broken pt)but man was i happy,the wife told me to get the head mounted as it being my first with archery,you can see a picture of him in the deer gallery.I have shot alot of deer with firearm but its not the same with archery,a whole different feeling
