HOLLY CRAP ! ! ! ! ! !
OMG I did it. Well most of you might not know that I've never shot a deer with anything, not even a gun. I've been hunting since I was 12, and now I'm 37. I've hunted every year, but nothing. I really enjoy hunting, so it wasn't a big deal. But the last 3 years, I've been really trying to step up my game, so I could hit a deer if one walked out in front of me. So to say the least I was very confident that if one walked out in front of me I believed it would be dead. Well I got that chance yesterday and now we have a DOE HANGINGIN THE GARAGE. WOW is this awesome. This is what it feels like? She wasn't a huge deer byno means, but it"s a deer. WOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! Man finally after 25 years I did it! ! ! !
Thanks guy's for all the great help and info. |

RE: HOLLY CRAP ! ! ! ! ! !

RE: HOLLY CRAP ! ! ! ! ! !
Congrats! So what do you think the difference was this year? Maybe " confident enough that you could kill it" you need to believe that everytime you step in to the woods. Now with this under your belt you will start to have more sucess.
|
RE: HOLLY CRAP ! ! ! ! ! !
Awesome!! I'm still waiting on my first with the bow. Congrats on the deer and many more to come!!
Now let's see some pics! Man Laws still apply to your first deer ;):D! |

|
RE: HOLLY CRAP ! ! ! ! ! !
congrats!!!! That is a great story. I can relate (sort of). I'm 35, started when I was 12 and didn't see a single deer my first 4 years. I was about going nuts at that point though. I can't believe you hung in there all these years. kudos to you!!!! This has got to be a GREAT day for you. Congrats again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Congrats again on stepping the game up and doing more scouting, practicing and utilizing better learned hunting skills to boost your confidence to kill a deer. Now thet you know what it takes they will become a little easier from now on. Just remember not so easy that you will always be successful- it is hunting after all.

WTG, its a feeling you will never forget thats for sure. And the great thing is, its the same feeling every time. If there ever comes a time where you don't have that feeling, hunting is no longer fun. Congrats again. Now to avoid a sack punch we need pic's:D

Even though it took you 25 years to take a deer, I'd be inclined to call you more of a hunter than some of the people we see on the TV shows who shoot giant deer that most of us will never see!! Their persistence involves sitting for a few hours on a heavily managed fenced in property or with high priced guides....all being paid for by sponsorships. Yours on the other hand involved a willingness to keep trying year after year...because you LOVE it.....not because you are trying to sell a friggen product!!
My first deer was also "just a small doe" that I took with my bow. But I still think back to that hunt almost more than any other. That deer will always be my number one trophy. Probably even if I manage to drop a monster buck someday. Disclaimer: I realize not all the celebs fit my description above but I think my point was made. :D |

I was using a mechanical, and the exit wound was unreal. Wait till you see it. I am amazed at how big it was. She only ran about 50 yards, but the size of the exit, I surprized she ran that far.
