Default RE: How long did it take you to tag your 1st deer?

Mine was on the third year; I was 17 I think. I was playing football 2 weeks before the season and broke my ankle and was on crutches. My dad and uncles set up a stand about 150 yards from camp that I could get to on crutches. First morning after about an hour a big doe and 2 fawns came through. Dropped the doe where she stood with the first shot and got the 2 fawns with the next 6 shots as they ran around, not knowing where to go. Yes, it's known a buck fever, big time. My rifle was an old bolt action army Springfield with open sights.

BTW, the doe was bigger than an eight point one of my uncles shot!
