I can't say I'm proud of this but I shot my first deer at about 14 yrs of age in Hawaii. Thick bushy landscape full of mesquite trees and small area, you often see deer at less than 20 yards sprinting thru trees. 3 bucks was running away thru the trees, I shot the last one, clipped his spinal cord right above hind legs. Friend went and finished him right after. Funny, the only other deer shot there, I hit him in the neck jumping over a hill. Spine shot also. Dead before he hit the ground.
