hey this is my first year hunting and i got this doe Dec 2nd with my shotgun in IL. I got out aroun 3 pm and was sitting next to a old combine which the deer travel past on there way to the combined corn field well after about an hour and a half i was ready to go so i called my mom and she sent some1 to come and get me so i figured i could walk back into the woods someto find anice spot to put my stand the following morning When i looked ahead there she was standing all i seen was the body no head I seen how big the body was and i steadied my sight right behind her left shoulder and boom the deer jumped up and it took of towards me i went amediatly lookin for blood right as io found i drop off blood i heard a crash and it was her fallin 20 yards from where i shot her after i got it home we weighed her and she weighed in at 178 lbs.!!!!!!!!

This wasnt how i wanted to take my first deer but hey it was stupid enought to let me walk to about 30 yards from it

Congrat's Andrew! Hunts never seem to happen like we plan...... Great jobon a beautiful first deer!

I'm guessing he either wasn't ready for the picture because he's not even looking at the camera OR he IS looking at someone taking his picture and this photo is from a 2nd person with a camera.

congrats on the deer!

Good Job! Congrat's
