My 2007 Ohio Deer
 

well i didnt get a whole lot of time to hunt this year because i started college this fall so i didnt get enough time to hunt bowseason but i got out during gun season and got my first buck on the second morning. After an uneventful first day due to downpouring rain and the deer i saw were all out of range i was up early the following morning. After sitting in my first location which usually always produces deer i moved accross the woods and was greeted by a doe and her two fawns running accross the field 80 yards away. This then made me notice another 4 does feeding between two woods and acting very spooked of something to the west. as i looked west i noticed another older hunter walking out to the woods at 830 in the morning and i kept watching the does and him but they had their eye not on the hunter but on this buck that came out of nowhere running full bore across the field. He stopped just before he would have been between me and a house but he was about 160 yards out. well i decided to shoot even though i have a shotgun with rifled sights which makes it a difficult shot. the first shot missed and i pumped in a new slug at this time he was running right at me and then my second and third shots missed as i reached for shells to reload he started running horizantally to me and i got one more shell in and that was all it took. i did some horrible shooting but i was finally able to get my first buck. not a very big buck and deffinately not the biggest in my area but he is still a trophy to me.

Nice buck, cool story. When he was running right at you, you should've just let him come. Also, take the plug out of your gun for deer hunting.

RE: My 2007 Ohio Deer
 

i wish i could take the plug out but in ohio we are require to have a plug in so the gun will not hold more than 3 shells

RE: My 2007 Ohio Deer
 

Congrats young man!
That's a dandy and never let anyone tell you otherwise.
My first buck was a nice little 6-pointer and I had it mounted.
I think back too that memorable day everytime I pass bye the mount.

Great buck! I was out there on the first day and it was a real soaker!

I hope you are getting him mounted. I mounted my first buck I shot in 1984 and though its the smallest mount I have,it's the one I'm most proud of. Good luck next year and stay in school.
