I don't see anything to be ashamed of! Nice deer dude, cool that you've already drawn blood with your new bow too!
Nothing to be ashamed of there, I'd almost bet he's older than most would think and not that great of genetics. Congrats on the kill!
I can almost guarantee you that any buck I shoot in bow this year will be at most half the size of that. Be very very proud on a great buck!
Thanks, guys! I was pretty excited when he walked out. I had only been seeing scrubby guys and wasn't feeling too good about that spot and was actually planning on hunting a different spot. But, the wind changed which sent me back to where I shot him. He's not a 160 class bruiser like you see sometimes but he's good for the over-hunted woods I hunt and a personal best! This is my fifth season with a bow so I'm really happy!
