Congrats on your first, and I applaud you for not waiting for a bigger rack. So many times I hear from my friends who take up hunting that they want their first one to "be memorable", so they are waiting on a trophy. Let 'em wait, more deer for me to put in the freezer while they are waiting!

Nice buck KK. He must have been a scrapper.

Congratulations on your first. I have yet to get a buck with a bow but I got my first doe with a bow last month. I just finished my third batch of jerky. No recipe, just go through the cupboard/frig. Worcestershire, brown sugar,honey, tobasco,BBQ sauce, it's all good! My kids are always ready to sample new batches. Hope to get her some company around Thanksgiving.

The first deer with a bow is a special accomplishment whether it be a buck or doe! Congratulations and good luck to many more years of bowhunting.
