First Archery Deer
 

Got this deer tonight at about 6:45pm. All was quiet for about 2 hours and all of the sudden this guy came running out, gave me a 15 yard shot, had no idea I was there, he ran 25 yards and dropped. Complete lung pass through. Im so exited, this is my first archery deer. All the hard work payed off, now for the big boys. I was kind of hoping that it was a doe, I couldnt tell that it was a button buck from the distance. Oh well...now I can be more selective!

congrats! I think about half of bowhunters get a button buck for their first. weird that way, mine was a nubber too.

RE: First Archery Deer
 

Congrats on your first!:D

RE: First Archery Deer
 

Ditto.
My first was a little doe... meant as much to me as any buck I have ever taken.
Congrats Ice... Let's keep laying them out for team 21. You should post on our thread too... just so we can keep a running tab on all kills for the team.
Nice work... i have taken a few buttons too... no worries.

Congrats!!! The first one is always emotional. Great job. But one thing that gets me, you said you couldnt tell it was a button buck from 15 yards??? You couldnt see the nobs on top of its head from 15 yards? I dont know about yoursetup and maybe the head was behind some trees ok. Im not trying to put your deer down cause thats a heck of a button buck, good body for a young deer. Do not be ashamed of taking a button buck or a doe your firstyear out. You should hold your head up with pride! I pat you on the back for a job well done.Nothing worse than going out your first time and nailing a P&Y or B&C buck and have nothing more to look forward to. Let us know how he tastes, im getting the urges to trow some of last years on the grill :). Again congrats on your first archery deer.

Congrats,I love to hunt with first time hunters because you can just feel that first deer emotion every time. I have been blessed with the opportunity 6 times now. You'll remember this hunt better than any other hunt you'll have the rest of your life and that's what hunting is all about. Thanks for sharing.
