What do you do?

You've just shot a big _______. What do you do?

I remember my first buck kill. I wanted to scream at the top of my lungs and do a little of this...

 

I do the whitetail shuffle,you know like the three stooges

 

I took a pic with the camera phone and sent it to all my BOWHUNTING.COM buddies.

 

I have never shot a truly large buck. But when I do, you can bet that I will be as calm as I can until I am actually holding the buck's antlers....then I have no idea what I will do. I imagine I will be smiling from ear to ear and will sit down on the nearest stump and just take it all in, the sounds, smells, and beauty of everything.

 

Have a seat, catch my breath and start giving thanks to the man upstairs :d

 

Last year I sent a text to my team members then I called Fran (quiksilver) then I went and found the deer. After I found him then I did a little dance.

 

Shotgun some beers with hunting buds when we get him home!!!

 

Without a doubt...with the arrow still in flight in fact :d

 

When I shot my biggest buck I had to just sit down before I fell out of the tree, I lost it all after the shot. I need to have more patience to as soon as I shoot I am ready to get on the ground and start tracking.:d

 

I'll insert brown bear in the blank because that's the most predictable response; go back to camp/truck and get the bigass rifle.

 

I immediately call my best hunting buddy for some help then I sit down and stare at my deer until he arrives. While I'm waiting, I relive every minute detail of what just happened, over and over so that I'll never forget. It's quite an excellent experience.

 

What all good huntin buddies do.........send a text!!:d



You know from all of those "I just got a text threads".

 

Text my hunting buddies and tell them I've got one on the ground. Of course that's after the shaking and regaining my composure.

 

Text a few friends and get my dad to help me drag him out. :D Last year I even called a few of you clowns.

 

I set down so I do not fall out the tree.

 

Well after I regain consciousness from passing out of hyperventilation..........I start texting and calling. It's what all us high tech rednecks do.

 

Not sure what I would do. Can't say I've been put in that situation (of killing something "big"). However, every kill so far, I shake pretty badly afterward, and I reflect on the events that led up to the shot. When I get to the animal, I certainly do what VS mentioned...simply take it all in.

 

Im with you Shultzy!!

 

:d

 

I do the vanilla ice dance then I get a
