My first 10 pointer!
 
I got my first 10 point buck last Friday, 11/28/08. I was only in the stand for about an hour and it was just after sunrise. The buck came running down the edge of the field and busted into the woods about 5 to 10 yards in front of me. I didn't have much time to react and put my gun on his shoulder and pulled the trigger! He dropped right in his tracks and I thought he was dead but he raised his head and started dragging himself toward me to the left and I had to put another slug in him to finish him off. When I got out of my stand I didn't even know for sure how big he was only that he had a decent spread. I thought he was an 8 point but when I got to him I found out he was a 10 so I was stoked. I also found out that the reason he dropped in his tracks was because I hit him in the spine because I hit a small tree that I didn't see when I took the shot. This hunt was special to me because it was the first hunt I got to be with my dad and actually get a deer. I have been hunting for a long time and have bagged other deer before but never with my dad so it was a great day and I know my dad was so happy to be there with me!

Awesome deer! I have killed 11 pointers the past 2 seasons, I have been pretty lucky.

P.S. I like your signature, we use that phrase all the time at WBS.

You know they say if you can hang a ring on it it counts as a point, well there is one point at the base of the left antler that could maybe be called a point or "sticker". I know, I know Im just dreamin!!!

I wanted to but money is kinda tight right now and my wife and I have a baby on the way so I decided not to. I'm gonna to do an antler mount on it myself instead. I did this one a few years ago on a small 5 pointer I got with my bowand it turned out pretty good so I'm gonna do another one with this buck.

Couldn't agree more! Now that mine is gone I wouldn't trade those times for anything. Enjoy them while you can.

That is a great looking buck, congrat!!!! I knowhow you feel about getting to take a deer with your dad. I got to hunt with my dad last year for the first time in 15 years and was lucky enough to take a nice buck while doing it. It does make it so much more special. Congrats on your great buck again.
