RE: First buck....Feeling guilty
Congrats again man, it's a beautiful deer!
I just got my first buck with a bow last week, and I almost fell out of the stand I was so hyped :D |
RE: First buck....Feeling guilty
It's definitely a good feeling. Congrats to you as well.

No way I would feel even remotely guilty.
Anytime someone in your party gets a deer is time for celebration. Be it in their normal stand or someone else, who is to say that fate would have smiled on them and brought the buck into them. And unless that buck was living in a 100 yard area around that stand, odds are there was no guarentee that your dad would have been the one to get a chance to take a shot at it. Bucks travel miles, 4500 acre range seems to come to mind, 6ish square miles? so take what you can get if it makes your heart race, and your knees shake. |

When I first read the post, I thought you were a kid. Why in the world would you feel guilty about shooting a deer out of someone elses stand? If he didn't want you there, he woulda told you

RE: First buck....Feeling guilty
I'd say your dad will kill a bigger one. It's tough to get on up on your pop! I'm sure he's happy for you. You better be happy for him when he kills the New World Record!
ORIGINAL: PatrickMc Yesterday I shot my first buck with a bow. He was no trophy rack-wise, but he had a huge body and I'm happy with him. He was an old buck that's been around for years. I made a 14 yard heart shot. He went about 60 yards and fell within sight. The thing that is bothering me about all this is that I shot him out of my dad's stand, not mine. Now granted I did have permission to be there, I wasn't squatting. But I'm kind of feeling like I stole my dad's deer. Am I being a girl about this? |
RE: First buck....Feeling guilty
I would not worry about it, he said you could, and i have never killed a deer with a name tag on it :)

RE: First buck....Feeling guilty
everything happens for a reason, if you wernt there, and he was, who knows if the buck would have even came in. This is your buck!

RE: First buck....Feeling guilty
Dont feel guilty, you had permission to be there. Plus, if thats the only deer you will see you should probably move the stand to another location...lol. More bucks where that came from, congrats.

RE: First buck....Feeling guilty
