Well, finally got number 1
 

Well, I finally got my first deer. I am 17 and i have been bow hunting for 3 seasons now. Saturday was the opening day here in Virginia, and it all came together. It started at 5 o'clock Saturday morning when I got up and took my shower and headed to a small farm about 45 minutes away and I got in my stand and sat until about 11 o'clock and then decided to goback toward the house where Ican hunt a much larger farm. So I got set up in treestand and waited until about 30 minutes before dark and decided to walk out. I had a sneaking suspension that I might see one on the way out. And sure enough alittle doe popped out from underneath an apple tree and presentd a 18 yard shot. So I shot her and it seemed alittle far back "liver" but i knew it would be dark soon and put another in her, this one lickily hit the heart and she expired quickly.

It was raining and cold all day and i shot her late so I couldnt get the pic until today. She's pretty little but I am happy because it is my first with a bow.

Cool dude!.. your hooked now!

RE: Well, finally got number 1
 

Congrats on the first bow deer. It's so much more challenging than rifle hunting, but don't you think it's a lot more rewarding?

RE: Well, finally got number 1
 

Good job and congrats.

RE: Well, finally got number 1
 

She's tender and to think, she's a smaller target, good shooting and good eatin, congratulations.

RE: Well, finally got number 1

RE: Well, finally got number 1
 

Congrats....The first one is always the hardest to get.....But the one you will most likely remember the most

RE: Well, finally got number 1
 

congrats on your first
270 win what kind of are u holding there?

RE: Well, finally got number 1
 

Nothing wrong with little, you got your first one out of the way and you got some meat for the freezer too! Can't beat that!

She is really tiny, like I said, nothing wrong with that, but it reminded me of when we were at Gander Mountain yesterday checking in hubby's deer and the guy said he had one come in a while ago in a cooler! LOL I was like, a fawn won't even fit in a cooler, but I guess they would. Sometimes you forget how small deer are compared to what they look like in the field. My button buck last year was really tiny too... but hey, he fed us for the whole year, and since hubby didn't get a deer last year it was better than nothing for sure and as my first bow kill it was a trophy in my book!

Congrats and good job!

RE: Well, finally got number 1
 

Grats on your first Bow kill, this is an experience you will remember a long time.

RE: Well, finally got number 1
 

Way to go 270! Congrats

RE: Well, finally got number 1
 

Good job! Congrats...

RE: Well, finally got number 1
 

Congrats on the first one, they are all trophy's with a bow. Now you are ready for number 2.

RE: Well, finally got number 1
 

Congrats! It's a great feeling to get that first one under your belt. And it's a great boost to your confidence the next time a shot presents itself. Great job!

RE: Well, finally got number 1
 

Heck of a job getting two arrows in her. I would have figured she would have beat a path out of the county. Nice doe though. Congrats.

RE: Well, finally got number 1
 

Good job. She should be delicious!

RE: Well, finally got number 1
 

Looks like a Mathews FX to me.

RE: Well, finally got number 1
 

Yes, it is a FX. And my arrows are Easton 400 epics tipped with magnus stinger 2 blade. The fletching's are blazers in straight configuration and the reason for the blazers is that they even after shot after shot dont peel with the whisker biscuit.

RE: Well, finally got number 1
 

Good shooting! Congrats!

RE: Well, finally got number 1
 

all right a big congrats

RE: Well, finally got number 1
 

Awsome job 270 on your first!

RE: Well, finally got number 1
 

Congrats
I shot a lot of deer with the same set up as you are shooting except I use feathers.
I have a Switchback now but my FX belongs to one of my hunting partners nowand he took his 2nd bow deer last year with it.

RE: Well, finally got number 1
 

Congrats on your first. We have the same bow and I on Friday shot my first too.
