Well after 7 years of passing and missing bucks...I finally got one! Yes I know hes not HUGE, but hes freakin awesome in my book lol I watched this one all summer and I thought he was pretty cool. He came in about 8 this morning and gave me a pretty close 13 yard shot. I got too excited and after I released the arrow moved my bow arm and hit him back in the liver. He jumped like 5 feet in the air and bolted across the field, I could see my exit wound just dumping the blood. I was a nervous wreck cuz I knew I hit him waaaaaaay farther back than I would ever like to hit. I gave him 30 minutes to run and got down to check for blood and it was spraying everywhere! I waited about 15 minutes more and starting taking up the trail....about 100 yards later I could see his white belly sticking up over the hill. I ran like a crazy psycho and screamed and yeehawd more than I ever have haha I paused and thanked the Lord for my deer then finally after 7 years put my hands on my first buck. I couldnt ask for anything better
Real glad for you Jenna, know how hard and long you worked for it. Congrats again on your first buck.
Congrats Jenna, after watching your posts over the last couple years, I know you were as excited about this as about anyone would/could have been. Good job holding off on the track job until the buck had a little time to expire. Now get busy capturing your trophy with your taxidermy skills!!!
You sound like what I did when I shot my first one! Nothing will ever take that moment away too. I am very happy for you! Now what you do is just upgrade the size. Here is my first and my biggest and those are the only two I have on the wall. I have only killed 6 antlered deer out of 23 kills! Still looking for my first Pope & Young! Now you are at the begining of a hobby you will always love. My first ever buck! 5 Pointer My biggest buck! 10 Pointer that scored 124 3/8! Missed Pope & Young by 5/8 of an inch with 8 inches in deduction from being broken up!
