Default First bow kill, opening day of Pa archery!

Well saturday was the opening day of archery in Pennsylvania. Got in my stand in the afternoon around 4:30. Around 5:30, I saw a few does making there way towards me. 5:45, had about 5 or 6 does working up the creek bed towards me. There where 4 fawns and two nice does. I was ready, and waiting for a nice doe to work up my way to take one, I heard some leaves crunch on the top of the rivine, I looked up and saw a smaller buck working my way. He came down the hill in the creek bed and worked his was up. He was out about 15 yrds and I could see 3 point on a side, here in wmu 1b, a deer has to have 4 point to a side to shoot it. He was out around 10 yrds for about a mintue feeding. Finally he turned and was walking away from me and I picked out the brow tine to make it four to a side. I stopped him at 10 yrds quartering away, shot him down through to the right of the spine, took one lung out, went through the heart and came out his chest in between his two legs. I heard him crash, he went about 50 yrds. That mussy ripping through him at around 280 fps was the coolest sound I ever heard in my life. I was so pumped up, escpecially after hunting archery for the first time last year and missing an eight point. I know its not the biggest buck but for my first bow kill, I couldint be happier. Now I got some meat in the freezer and its time to eat!
