Finally, my first buck!!!
 

I've starting hunting seriously in since last year. Last year I seen some does and shot at a nice 8 pt. Got buck fever and missed that one. This year I got a trail cam and been getting pics of several bucks. A small spike, a nice 4 pt and a nice 8 pt. It's always about 10:00 at night. Yesterday evening about 4:30 the same 4 pt walks out that I've been seeing for the last few months on my camera. He was about 60 yards from my stand. Shot him with a Savage .270 and found him about 40 yards from where he was standing. Got him home, cleaned, cut up and now in the freezer. All the waiting was worth it. Man, what a feeling.

Great job shawnster! Still bet you got the buck fever though!!?

Congratulations too. Feels good to walk up on the deer seeing your hard work pay off.

Was that picture taken in Florida??? Holy global warming!!! :eek:

Congratulations

congrats on your first

Yes that was in the panhandle of Florida. That's sand in the background, not snow. It was in the low 40's that evening and in the mid 30's that night. That is cold here. Thanks for all the replys. My heart was diffenitly pounding. All I could think about as I looked through the scope is the one I missed last year. Still got about 3 weeks left in the season here, going after that 8pt. I'm sure I'll never forget the feeling I got with this one.

Nice deer congrats

Congrats, they should get easier from here.

I wish I could say I got my first buck, but I can't. Congrats

Congrats on your first buck!

Enjoy that feeling. Remember it. Its one of those times in life that its hard to reproduce.

Good for you! Way to go!

Nice job! And while the feeling might not be exactly the same as shooting your first buck, It still feels great everytime you get the opportunity to harvest a deer!
