Ok, here goes. I was sitting in my stand around 7:25(am) and had 3 doe's come walking by at about 20 feet away. I thought it was a little dark still so ended up letting them go on by. Well, I ended up thinking that I blew my chance and started to get mad at myself. Then came 7:45(am) I had 3 more doe's come walking by. Not really sure if they were the same doe's or not, but decided to take a shot at the lead doe. I ended up seeing all the deer scatter and kept my eye on the one I aimed at until it passed by the tree I was in and could not see anymore. I then heard a crash and thought I got it. I ended up climbing down after about 20 minutes and looked for my arrow. I found the arrow covered in blood. I remember someone telling me about not stepping in the blood trail and made sure not to step onto it. As I walked farther I saw more blood and then after walking "slowly" around 30 feet or so I came upon my first deer. I was so excited. I dragged the deer out of the woods and thought to myself that I was alone. I then started to think about what I have learned by asking questions from this site and by watching my field dressing video about 100 times. Well, I field dressed and skinned the deer with really no problem besides stopping for about 5 minutes to make sure I did not cut the urinary line. I called the butcher and was on my way. I guess the story really starts when I found this site. I asked every question that came to mind and everyone answered. I did not know anything hunting, but when I found this site I seemed to have found everything.
