My first year "seriously" hunting
#11

It was also my 1st yr really bone collecting. Killed my 1st deer on 1 st hunt within 25 minutes of stepping into woods. Was a 4pt, only prob was he broke antlers off while running into creek bed.

Don't feel you have to justify shooting a spike. If it is legal, that is all that matters. If you want to hold out for a bigger buck that's fine, too. While some people are exclusive trophy hunters, your spike filled the freezer better than the elusive trophy buck that never appeared.

I remember when I got the hunting bug, wait I still have it. Congrats on your deer, anytime you can bring home meat for the table it is something to be proud of. My wife was really happy last season with me I shot 7 deer and none were bucks. (more meat for her and no taxidermy bill)
Good luck next season.
Good luck next season.

Thanks guys! Even you roll tiders. I am itching to get out there and shoot something now! My only choices are coyotes, wild hogs, rabbits or squirrels......until turkey season. However I don't have the time or the funds to travel right away. Maybe toward the end of the month.
