Default Got my first deer ever with the bow!

Wow what a day. Deciced to hunt my blind today since the wind was blowing around 20 mph. I was situated on the north end of the property watching a fence opening. Got into my blind around 5:30am, at 6:30 am I spotted a nice deer in front of me. It was still too dark to even see the pins on my sight so I waited eagerly. At 6:50am 2 more does started to work their way toward me (It looked like 2 does). 10 mins later I had one broadside and I let my arrow fly. I waited about 20 minutes to check the spot where I hit it. It was a complete pass through. I found my arrow full of bright red blood and 40 yards later I found my firstever bow kill. What a feeling. Now here's the funny part. Don't laugh. It turned out I shot a button buck but at 7 in the morning it looked like a doe to me. It's not the biggest deer in the world but it's my First! and I'll never forget it.

I must say I'm pretty proud of myself I gutted it, buchered it and ate it all in a matter of a few hours(1/2 a day). Those backstraps were damn good!

Congratulations on your very first. Now you can be more selective on your next animals. Way to go, we never forget our first.

Congrats on your first. That one is always special.

Same day backstraps are always the best.
