First Deer Ever!
I feel like I need to say thanks to everyone on this board. I have been lurking for a while but reading and soaking up everything I have read. After not having anyone in my immediate family hunt, I decided after 41 years to try it all by myself. From Bow selection to broadheads to how to scout an area, I put together a plan on public land in Northeast ohio.
I was on stand for 5 minutes in a very Strong wind when this guy decided to cruise. After I calmed my self down and took several deep breaths, he went broadside at about 20 yards and I was able to put him down. Went about 100 yards.  Thanks again to all of you!! I am offically addicted to bow hunting!! Mack34 |

RE: First Deer Ever!
WOW!! Setting your standards a little high for the first one.....aren't ya?:D That is a great looking Buck you got there! This is the right place to get any info you may need to help you do, just what you did!;)
Way to calm yourself down to make a great shot, it's hard to do, especially on your first. He will make a great looking mount, if you choose to. Congrats and keep up the great job! Crutch |
RE: First Deer Ever!
I guarantee you there are alot of people who havent taken a buck that big. Great Buck, especially for ur first

RE: First Deer Ever!
Thanks everyone! There is no quitting now. Believe me, as he started to get closer all I could think was, "Oh my Lord, don't blow this shot" But as I learned from this site, practice, practice, practice!!! My kids are so excited, I can't wait for them to get a little older!!!
Also, This brute was taken from Spencer Lake. I now that none of you will head there!! By the way, the bow was Fred Bear Truth and Rage 2. I must say, with the tree rocking in the wind, the arrow flight was perfect and had a total passthrough double lung. It can only get better from here, Right!! Mack34 |
