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

First deer? I should say my first two deer....When i was fifteen i just got back from bradenton beach florida, and my uncle was taking me opening day, which was back then nov 28,1994-gun season in ohio opened up early then, now its first week of december..but that is another subject. My uncle sat me down and said they could come in any direction and wouldnt ya know it at 9:30 3 doe's come up to the right and behind me, i slowly turned inch by inch until i was on one knee and aiming at the first doe's chest, and bam the shot-gun went off and they about ran right over me. Being the novice i was i thought i missed because they took off running. So i sat down very dissapointed and all of a sudden here come two more does ran right in front of me and a 4pt.buck, he stopped right in front of me he was so close i didnt even aim, i just gave him a john wayne special from the side of the hip, and down he went!! My uncle hearing the shots came to check on his newfound hunter walking along the same trail as the first doe i thought i missed and he said i see you shot one, i said no he is over here, he said there is a big splotch of blood right here. So i told him what happend and we recovered the doe only 40yds away, he vowed if i were to ever do that again i would be walking home,lol. One thing i learned is never cost my uncle tony a deer tag! Sorry for so long, just brought back a vivid memory, thanks.
