got 1-after 5 years
I have been bowhunting for 5 years and this weekend I finally got a small buck. He was small and maybe I should have let him go, but it put meat in my freezer and gave me my first bowkill. This picture is a prime example of how to NOT take a picture of your deer...in the garage, junk in the background, no camo, no smile....It was late when I finally got the deer and it was too dark for the pictures to work in the woods.

way to go buckmaster, your first with a bow is always a trophy, the next one will be bigger, your broke the ice, got the skunk out of the boat, you'll forget alot of things, but this won't be one of them, way to stick with it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

. You should be happy. In the future if you want to raise you standards that's fine. If you start out looking to only kill a P&Y buck you might go 25 years before your first shot let alone kill. Congrats on first blood with your bow. You'll remember him for a lifetime

Good job, don't feel like you have to apologize for the size of the buck or the picture...we all start somewhere!
Because of all of the ups and downs on your bowhunting journey, the effort, the disappointments along the way, and wondering if it will ever happen for you, that buck is as good as a "Booner"! "First Blood" is something that even time can't wash away.
Big time congratulations!
