My First Deer!!!
 

Well everyone, I got my first deer yesterday!!
And he's a 6 point buck!! I couldn't be more happy!!
I was sitting in a spot where I have been watchign the deer come from since the end of September. There is a hole in a stone wall above me, another trail below me, and a third deer trail that spits out in the other side of the field. My dad and I went out at about 7:45 adn sat at out spots right across the field form each other. The wind had been just where I wanted it all morning, and It had rained on and off all morning. ( I like hunting in the rain.)
I had a good feeling about seeing deer, and I had been seeing alot of bucks. Well, at about 9:05 the wind changed, and my Dad turned around to adjust where he was looking. at 9:10, I look to my right and a buck is standing there! I bring up gun and look through the scope, and of course I am shaking some. so I take a step to the left to lean against my tree, and of course by then he was looking at me. I got a good rest againt the tree and pulled the trigger... He ran right past my dad, and dropped just over a little knoll in the hill. I ran over, and he was laying right there!! I had gotten a perfect double lung. The shot was between 20-30 yards, and he ran maybe 50-60. Then I had my first time field dressing :). It was an awesome morning, and I couldn't stop smiling all day!!! Now I hope my Dad and older brother can get a buck, and that we can fill our DMPs.

Oh, I was using a Mossburg 12ga, with a rifled barrel and the scope it came with. I also am using fedral, sabbot, barnes expander tipped slugs, and they are awesome!

Congrats on a great buck. Thanks for sharing your special first buck with us. I hope there are many more to come over the years.

Good job! its hard to beat the excitement you get from the 1st one, but its sure fun trying!

Congrats to you!!! It sure is a nice buck for your first deer!! I too hope you enjoy many more in the future hunts.. Now that you have showed your dad up hopefully he can get one.. Thanks for sharing your special hunt with us...

Congrats on your first buck! What zone was this in?

It was in 8T, I have seen alot this year.

first buck...rock on brotha :rock:

Gratz to you on your 1st deer.

Congrats dude, i love to see first timers gettin it done.

Great job!!
See you had no problem smiling for the pics!

Yeah, definately not! I couldn't not smile even if I wanted to!
Nothing against anyone, but I just don't see how when someone gets a huge deer (or even otherwise), they can keep a stone straight face..

Nice one! Is this gonna be the first of many?

You'll never forget the first one. Heck, I'll never forget any deer I get. When you stop getting the feeling you have after you kill a deer it's time to stop hunting. Well done.

Awesome!! Congrats on your first buck!! You will always smile when you remember this one!!

Grats.....:fighting0007:Nice looking buck.

I could be mistaken but i don't think deer season started in 8T yet, either that or the DEC website is wrong.

I think if you guys look real hard you'll see this thread is almost a year old! Had me going there for a second also! :s6:

hahahhahaha, it's had me going for a good two days now...dang..thanks! hahaha
