I am a member of a gun club/shooting range and shoot my guns and bows year round. The number of wounded/lost deer since joining has dropped to right around zero. I have also had fewer cases of ground shrinkage. I don't think that is by coincidence. |
Congrats on your first deer! Dont be discouraged about shooting a small one or one getting away. My first deer was a fawn that field dressed a mere 50lbs. Since then I have harvested several does and two small bucks. My first deer with a bow I hit in the vitals and tracked for about 4 hours and over at least a mile with no recovery. Now lets see some pictures!

They can only get bigger from here on out

First off congrats. But I'm thinking gut shot. I know the shaking want the shot feeling. Watch for the crows circling in the air over the next day or so. That's where you'll find him. The meat won't be good, but you may be able to salvage his rack to remember him by.

it was pretty small. Im still happy thought i mean it was my first deer. Now, what to do from here is to work on getting better. Make that first deer a learning experience. Play everything through again and again and figure out what you might do differently. Do it with the deer you tagged as well. What you did right, do again. What you did wrong, do differently. |
Congrats kid!! Every hunt for you will be a learning experience, It always will be! Just remember to practice hard!!
|
thanks everyone!
