Default RE: Share your first time you killed your first deer.

Well it was about 8 yrs ago, I had seen a very large racked buck in this certain area while bowhunting and set my stand in a tree for the upcoming rifle season. I was there opening day and sat all morning, about lunch time, I got out of stand and walked back to the truck to see if my buds had seen or killed anything. I ate a sandwich grabbed my gun and headed back to the stand, just as I approached my stand a doe went busting threw the woods, she had been standing right there under my stand and I didnt see her. Well as she ran I squated and found her in my scope, she made a bad choice and stopped to look back at me. I found my mark and she dropped. But with the deer fever and the excitement of finally getting a shot off on a deer after 6 or 7 yrs of hunting and not bagging a deer, I rushed the shot and took it on a bad angle. Well I had to finish her off with my knife. I felt kinda bad for her but it was all worth it when I tasted the meat and feed the family for the whole winter. That experience I learned alot, and to this day im still learning.. My first bow kill was a experience too but thats another topic.
