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!
