My First bowkill
 

Thought I would share a picture with you guys of my first bowkill. I purchased an old bow from a friend of mine it is a PSE mach 1. I cannot find much info on this bow, so if anyone has any info on it that would be great. Anywho onto the story, a co-worker and friend of mine took me out with him, he put me in a stand and he went to another stand about 300 yards away. (this was the first time i had went out deer hunting ever) Well after sitting there for about3 hours of seeing nothing but squirrels and wood peckers, I heard something moving behind me, I turned and looked and it was a buck about 50 yards away, my pulse rate instantly reached about 5000, I watched him hoping he would turn and come towards me, but he just kept his path and dissapeared into the trees behind me. I was pretty bummed, so I called my friend in the other stand and asked if he has seen anything, he said no, I told him I had just saw a nice buck but was too far to get a shot. He told me just to wait, he might circle around and come back. Sure enough about 10 minutes later I hear something behind me again I turn and look and there he is coming right at me, this time my pulse rate jumped to about 10000. I quietly grabbed my bow and waited, he kept coming in and stopped about 25 yards form my stand and i swear he looked up right at me, I thought to myself i'm busted, I didn't have my bow drawn or anything. Finally he started moving again got my bow drawn and waited until he got closer finally taking my shot when he was about 10ft away from the ladder of my stand, and here is the results:

That's just plain sick and I vote we ban Lynn right from the get go. It can't be right to shoot a deer your FIRST time hunting never mind a corker like that.

This is serious business!! You just don't wander out into the woods with an old bow with mismatched arrows and BH's. and shoot a buck. You have to pay your dues with money to buy the "right" crap and you have to spend a ton of time setting up stands and practicing. Man O Man it just can't be right!!

Nice job Lynn. A few years ago I put a buddy up a tree with my old Darton SL50. I loaded him up with doubles of all my stuff and madesure he could hit a pie plate at 20yards ect. Well if he didn't have the nerve to shoot a little seven pt buck 2 hours into his first hunt. I personally think he should have just passed on it out of respect for me. Plus he still rubs my nose in it from time to time.

You now officially can talk BS with any group of hunters and have the buck to back you up. Way Cool bud!!Leave out the part about it being your first time in a tree. GEEZ...........

RE: My First bowkill
 

Good for you man! Most spend many seasons trying to get on a bruiser like that. I commend your buddy for putting you in the right spot. I think you need to get him a very expensive Christmas present!!

RE: My First bowkill
 

That is an absolute slammer! Many people hunt their whole lives w/out seeing a deer of that caliber, let alone having taken it w/ the bow for your first! Congrats. That is a serious buck!

RE: My First bowkill
 

Great first buck!

RE: My First bowkill

RE: My First bowkill
 

See...now that just ain't right.

LOL, just kidding...great deer, you got your work cut out for you now trying to top that stud! Congrats!

RE: My First bowkill
 

First time out, first buck.... that isn't fair.... Awesome one!

RE: My First bowkill
 

Wow, I've been bowhunting nearly 20 years looking for a buck like that. Hopefully that luck will continue for you.

Congrats, he is a beauty.

RE: My First bowkill
 

Been bowhunting 10 years and still waiting to see a buck of that caliber! I'm guessing it won't be for another 10 until I do...nice buck man. Nice first post too!

RE: My First bowkill
 

Excellent start. Way to go. Great buck. It took me years to start shooting bucks like that. You will have fun trying to top that guy. The deer gods were very good to you. You owe your buddy big time.;)

RE: My First bowkill
 

Congrats on the buck! Way to go.

RE: My First bowkill

RE: My First bowkill

RE: My First bowkill
 

Does your friend need another buddy? I am seriously waiting on that kind of luck to come my way.
Congratulations. After that trophy, I am pretty sure you have some disappointing seasons to come.

RE: My First bowkill
 

That will be a tough act to follow! Congrats on a great buck, especiallyfor your first.;)

RE: My First bowkill
