Last season I was fortunate enought o harvest my first deer. It just so happens that I was using a muzzleloader. My T/C Omega .50 put the whack on this buck at about 100 yds. He went only 20 yds or so then toppled over. I have been hunting since I was 12 but it didn't all come together for till I was 16. Man what a rush it was.

RE: First Deer!!!!

Thanks Chap. My dad helped me pick out my gun and said that this one would be good for me b/c im a left handed shooter. Im glad to be in the smokepole club and hopefully have another pic to add of a deer for next season. Good luck to everyone in there next hunting adventure as well.

RE: First Deer!!!!

Your hooked now.:D Nice first time buck. Not sure what state your in but here in MO I'm in an antler restricted zone where I hunt in which we cannot shoot a buck unless it has 4 points on one side, so basically an 8 pointer or better. I know the excitement you must have had when he came near, just wait as it gets better as they are bigger. The knees shake and you can hardly breath, heckI still get that way when I see a nice mature doe within range. Good luck this year, as it will be here soon. If you bowhunt our season starts mid September in the 90 degree heat. Can't wait but the heat is awful.

RE: First Deer!!!!

Congradulations on the buck.Looks like it is a good sized one too.Hope you have another great season this year.

I live in Canada and have seen some good deer but for starters my dad and I thought that this is the one I should take. Im like you I get excited seeing any mature animals whether it be a buck or a doe. I do bowhunt and plan on doing more of this year. Our season up here starts in october but the heat reaches only 35-40 degrees Celcius. Thanks for all the comments guys, hope you have good hunting and straight shooting.

Your Dad picked you an excellent rifle and the scope is beautiful for the rifle. They are excellent shooters, easy to load and clean and accurate. It will last you a lifetime, and it is a treasure, since it is your first rifle and is of such quality. I bought my son, now 23, a 300Win UltraMag as his first rifle, when he was 18, so it was a special gift. Best of luck to you in your hunting adventures.
