    Got my first deer ever yesterday at 9am!!! Been hunting this spot since opening day and only seen doe. but yesterday from the thicket wanlked an 8 point! I was shaking SO bad lol. I waited for a good shot. He turned broadside at 20 yards and i stopped him and shot. When the arrow hit, he fell and rolled snapping the arrow, and took off. He ran about 200 yards before I found him! Turns out i hit him in the shoyulder bone. the arrow went in about 6''. the rest of the shaft broke off. Heres a pic of the field he was in. and pics of him! SO PUMPED. I can not explain the feeling!
