First 2012 Deer/First buck with the bow.
 

So I killed this fella this morning. I wasn't even supposed to be in NC this weekend, but because of a mixup at work, I was home for the bow opener. I passed on a small doe yesterday, and decided to go early this morning. This one walked out and was grazing as close as 5 yards away. I had to wait for him to get out a little so I could stand up and draw. 22 yards. He's a pretty decent little 8 for around here, with a 1" sticker point at the base of his right antler. I'm pretty pumped.

nice, is your adrenaline still going, i rememeber my first buck with a bow, i couldnt slow my heart rate down for hours after i found him.

awesome..congrats man!

RUSTY-Congrats on your first buck .I still remember my first buck ,that will always be my most exciting hunt i'll remember.Just because he came in hair standing up because i rattle him in from the swamps then it my scent trail i layed down came right up to me .

Congrats. on your first archery buck.

Congrats on your buck with the bow.

Congrats on your first!

Way to go! Thanks for sharing.

It was pretty cool. I've killed plenty of deer with my rifle, but every other time I've seen bucks when bow hunting, I always end up way too shook up by the time they're in range, and I either shoot 8 feet over their back, or I'm too shaky to make my move. I guess I had time to calm my nerves while he was too close for me to do anything.

Congrats, youre hookd4 life now! :p

Congrats! Nice looking deer

Congrats. Love stories by the brotherhood of biting my the bug.

Congratulations .... nice buck and for sure gonna be some good grub !! My bow season still about a month away. Can't wait. Even at 64 years of age, still like I was as a kid waiting for opening morning of squirrel season.

Congrats on your first bow killed buck. Nothing like getting up close and personal.....so much fun.

Congrats! Gotta love it man!

Congrats nice deer!!

The white man is out hunting while the blacks frig their women and the Jew controls and wrecks our world. More need to quit hunting and be concerned, because soon you're going to FEMA camps

Congrats on your 1st.

That's a dandy nice buck! Lot of character there, even the brows are distinguished. I give ya credit for killing anything up close in the southern states, it so hot down there I can't imagine scent control not being an issue. Congrats on your 1st bud.

Now as for this...

Uh, what?
Wait, this should work... :hit:

I too shot my first buck this weekend. He was only a spike but I was nervous as heck!
