    This last weekend was the first time I've ever been hunting. It was a 2 1/2 day trip and I was able to get my first deer on the second morning of the hunt. I went hunting on my parents farm in Fulton County, and was able to share this experience with my dad, brother-in-law, and father-in-law.

    I'm hooked for sure! It may not be a big buck, but I couldn't be happier. I am thankful for this site, as it gave me a lot of helpful information to prepare me for my very first time hunting and harvesting a deer. Thanks!
