after 9 years, got my first buck
 

here it is... my first buck. I been hunting for almost 9 years and this is the reward. Killed him opening morning at 11am here in Seymour Indiana. You can read and see more pics at my website if interested. http://www.geocities.com/ron_smith_jr/ is the site. Due to some bandwidth problems with geocities, you can also see a exact copy of my site here... http://the-smith-family.cjb.cc/ There is a link in the small writeup to the rest of the photos. This 8 pt might not be a monster to some, but he was every bit a monster to me.



Sorry, I thought I could link to my picture on the yahoo site. looks like I am going to have to upload it to someplace else.

Nice buck. I got my first Black Powder Buck this year. I just started to hunt the holly black just last year. I knowthe feeling of the kill. Mine was a six pointer that weighted in at just over 200lbs.

you have a pretty nice looking kill there as well. I think I still have a bit of buck fever. Afew days later and I still can't stop smiling when I think about the few minutes that led up to my shot, the shot and the results. I am glad that I was able to have someone with me to share the moment.

Just dont get down about it. It will happen when you least expect it. This has been a year of first for me. Not only the buck, but during the early archery, I killed my first doe after 4 years of trying with a bow. I didn't do any of the "took the shot, can't find it" shots at all. Never been any deer close enough and finally, it happend. Good luck with your hunting!!!
