Bowhunting Leakey Texas, I finally harvested a buck 7 points 2.5 years old I guess. Wasn;t very big but sure was exciting. I also harvested a young yearling that I though was a doe but ended up beaing a button buck. I guess the excitement was so extreme that I couldn't tell at 12 yard that the button buck had nubs. Well he'll taste good but was sad to see that I made that mistake. You live and learn through experience and that's two deer that I learned an awful lot about.

Mistake made, shoulder popped on the buck. everything else went perfect. On the button buck a lot went wrong, first I had given up on the hunt. I had hung my bow on the tree and removed my face mask it was getting hot that morning. That's when I heard it coming, there were actually two but the other never came out. It was probably the yearlings mother. I waited until the deer got behing a tree to get my bow. Left the face mask alone and hid my face behind the riser until I could get the shot.

Boy was I excited on both of those deer.

One deer was spooked in the morning while staging what sppoked him/her my stomach growling. Another lesson learned.

Hint: Eat Breakfast, try to do somthing about popping joints, never give up!!!

wicked deer man! good job!

RE: Sharing my first bow buck
 

Congratulations. That is a beautiful buck.

RE: Sharing my first bow buck
 

Yep, pretty buck. Your shoulder joint popped? I wouldn't think there's anything you could do about that, other than periodically draw your bow to keepthe jointwarm. Wouldn't count that as a "mistake" -- just something that happened.

Congratulations on your deer!

Just to bring everyone up to speed I purchased the Mighty Mite one month prior to season. Had problems with it but practice and hard work got all the bugs worked out.

Before I was using a Carbon 4 Runner Extreme from HCA.

I paid a lot for this season with all the new costs but it was all worth it.
