You know what? That's funny. If you extend the tips of the stach straight down to the bottom of the jaw and add some gray, you'll have it!
BTW, how do you like my get up? A pair of coveralls from my dads work which he camo'd himself with paint. Uninsulated slip on rubber boots (in Dec.! My dad had sorrels[:@]), homemade back quiver (worked good), magic marker colored masking tape on my bow, $1.25 dime store knife (worked good though) and best of all my Sunday go to church gloves! My mom was furious when she found that out!
Anyway, I thought I looked cool. I wish more kids today would.

Mine was a monster button buck with my bow!!!!! I was so proud!! The deer dropped 30 yards from my tree, I called my dad while still in my tree, while telling him the story a huge 8 pointer comes over the ridge and starts smelling my deer that was down! I'll never forget that! Sure do miss you Dad!

RE: HOW BIG WAS YOUR FIRST DEER
Greg I agree with Rob...respect! After reading your post on you clothes and set up I thought I would elaberate on my first last Oct. I don't have a lot of money to spend on my hunting stuff so I bought a $100 Fred Bear bow last Aug 2005 in a package on clearance. I bought 3 arrows at walmart and their cheapest grizzly broadheads. I practiced almost everyday for a month before the season opened. I used army fatigues from a friend who was out of the reserves and was going to get rid of them. My boots were $2.50 Gortex from a garage sale across the street. I had a $6 knife and orange tape for the blood trail. I couldn't afford a tree stand or have land to make one on so I used a fold out chair and hunted off a rock cliff to get some height and scent advantage. I called this little guy in my 2nd time ever bowhunting. He was a 6 pt when I shot him but one side of his rack broke when he jumped off a rock towards the river and died in mid-air and hit rack broke on the ground. I've shot deer with a gun but I'm most proud of this little guy because he was my first with a bow and I didn't have a lot of $ to start. Sorry for the novel, just wanted to share the experience!

I was on my own too thought im only 20 years old now i taght my self how to clean all my kills from ducks to deer. though im not the best at it i can still keep meat onmy deer. My dad never taght me, though he wanted to, because he was in prison until i was 13.He tells me almost every time i call him how proud i have made him with all i have accomplished.Anyways my first deer was a spike i was 16 hunting with my oldest brother
