Brothers first Buck
Just thought that I would share my brothers first buck(gun or bow). He is 15yrs old(has a twin brother) and has harvested his first two deer this season with a bow(hasn't gotten one with a gun). Here's the story:
Saturday morning we were in our stands about 15 minutes before legal hunting hours. I was in a new spot and my brother was in the double stand where he had harvested his nubbin a couple weeks earlier(the unit we hunt in WI is Earn a Buck). Deer were moving pretty well that morning as I ended up seeing 3 bucks and 3 does including the one that my brother shot. When he came and found me around 10 am I was hanging my stand. I thought he was just getting cold and just decided to come find me so I asked "did you get one" and to my surprise he said yup! He said that this was the third buck that he saw and it was the biggest so he decided to take it. It was a 15 yard shot right through the heart. I am really big into managing for 3 1/2 and older bucks but I couldn't have been happier for my little brother getting his first buck
Here's a couple pics:
