Well the first deer I have ever killed was last year. To tell you the truth I had mixed feelings I shot him with a bow from about 20 yards away I hit him in the back bone and broke it it two. It did'nt die I had to cut it's throat twice to finally get it to die. That really sucked I can tell you that. But the thrill I got when I shot him was well worth it I went running down the hill like a 10 year old. It was a great experice that I will remember forever. what made it even more special was it was the first deer I have ever shot at.
