Borrowed my friends dad's .30/06, shot a 3 pointer and put the buck down on the spot.....I was so happy I couldn't believe it....about 5 hours later I shot a 5 pointer with the same rifle...I felt like I was the most blessed hunter in the world,.,,those same feelings have catapulted me to be the hunter I am today....one that feels that the greatest days on earth are the ones that are lived in the woods, with hard work, and are done with pride.

My very first deer was a button buck, taken with a bow. My older brother was squirrel hunting over the opposite hill and he jumped three deer they ran right by me except for the button buck, why he stopped I have no idea, but I made it all happen with a 45lb Indian deer slayer compound bow that I got for christmas the year before. I HAVE BEEN HOOKED EVER SINCE!!!!!!!! If I had to chose between one outdoor activity it would definitley be bowhunting. I had an accident a few years back and lost my vision in my left eye and hate to admit that I am not to quick with a rifle anymore, just cant shoot right handed cant seem to get the coordination, but my bow aiming is from my right eye and thats still working perfect.

My first deer was a 7 point. I shot it at 3 yards with a .50 cal muzzleloader. I was 12 years old. I was so excited because I had shot at other deer and missed due to buck fever. After that day though I have yet to get buck fever before the shot. Know it comes after the shot. Cant explain it but yeh the shaking and nerves come after I know I made a great shot.
