Great Buck! That is nothing to be ashamed of! You'll never forget the first big one. Thanks for sharing.

Listen to me, That is a bueaty. especially for a first buck! Back in the old days (here we go) I hunted for 9 years just to get my first deer which would have made me err aah, well older. It was a button buck and I was just as happy and proud as I could be. There are many people my age that have not taken a buck that nice yet and would be darn proud of it. Any deer you take is a trophy for one reason or the other be it meat or antlers or what ever. And the excitement and memories you get from the hunt will last a life time. And if when your hunting and you see a deer and you don't get that very special feeling (all hunters know what I mean) then its time to take up golf. Great job and keep up the good work and now that you know the feeling pass it on. Mike

Thanks for all the positive posts guys... Obviously I am proud of it if or I wouldn't have speant the money to get it mounted...This deer will always be special to me... That morning my wife took her first deer ever, a very large doe (150 pounds) and that evening just before dusk I got my deer. One of those days you will never forget. Not to mention on the same day my father missed a deer (his first miss since bowhunting), due to his declining arthritis (bad trigger finger), it is really sad. Like all you guys hunting is my passion. There is nothing I would rather do than be in my deer blind all day, even if I didn't get a shot at a deer.

THANKS AGAIN!

Looks good to me! Congrats!!

congrat, even when you do kill another one, that one will always be special.

That is a nice deer no matter where you are from. Good job and good luck next time.

great deer man, be proud.

Great Buck, Congrats.

Great Buck, congrats! Bigger than my best buck so far!

I would shoot that buck in a heartbeat, you don't eat the horns anyway.
