RE: First deer EVER with a bow(pics)and it's a buck!!
Congrats Atlasman on a nice buck and a great hunt. I remember my first bow kill which was a small doe and it was a trophy for me. I had a nice 8 point come in the first year and only had a direct frontal shot I didn't feel comfortable with. Taking a buck as your first bow kill has to be great. The pic of your venison looks great as well...my only suggestion is to wrap your cuts/burger in an airtight wrap such as Saran and then a finish wrap in freezer paper with the waxed side in toward the meat. I've had venison frozen over a year this way and it stays with no freezer burn or contamination.

That looks almost exactly like my dad's first deer also. The only difference is that he shot it with a rifle. I'm still working on getting my first deer though and I'm really getting frustrated because I haven't been able to hunt for about a month. I missed the rut!!!<img src=icon_smile_sad.gif border=0 align=middle> I haven't even seen a deer in a month either.School and work are still more important for me right now as a high school senior. I absolutely love the support and advice you guys have been giving me. Thanks everyone and when my day comes, you can be sure you will all here about it.

atlasman my hat is off to you, congrats on your first bowkill and a great story. I fully understand your emotions, I got my first bowkill this year also, it was my 3rd season with a bow and even though it was Nov 1st when I got her I am still on cloud 9!!! Nice buck to boot.

Congrats Atlasman on your first bow harvest. Great story and great pics. I harvested my first deer with a bow this year too, and like you I'm still smiling and can't wait for someone else to ask me about it. That deer will live forever in your mind.
