My First Deer

[4WheelinMama]

This is my 3rd year deer hunting, all being archery, never toted a gun before. I have had some chances the last couple of years but was never able to close the deal.

With alot of support from my hubby I stuck with it and really thought I was never going to be able to do it, its alot tougher than I thought.

Got to my stand around 4:15 and shortly thereafter the landowner and another person walked right by me(and they never noticed me) to look over something, but I wasn't sure what.

I called my hubby (Rippinlip) and asked if I should stay and he said I should.

About 6pm or so this one and another adult doe came into sight and I tried to stay calm and it all happened so fast. Needless to say when she got to about 15 yards I drew my bow and set the pin on her chest and let one fly.

I texted my hubby again and thought I hit her, we then talked over the phone and he told me to sit tight for a while then get down and check the arrow, which I did and it was covered with RED.... I was thinking Heck Ya..

He came down and after a quick 100 yard or less tracking job, she is now mine!

The landowner came out with us and he was pretty pumped too.

Nice! I can't believe you actually got off your 4 wheeler long enough to go hunting! p.s isn't it a little hard to see red "blood" on red arrows?

[Musky Buck]

Nicely done ! Don't forget to cook your deer meat thoroughly my cousin still suffers from partial blindness from not doing so last year in Wisc.

No to eating the heart, but the backstraps will be going on the grill in about an hour.

Thanks everybody it was a great first kill. If anybody wants to know I am shooting a diamond razors edge at about 38 lbs of pull and muzzy's mx-3 broadheads and I got a complete pass through.

The first deer I ever harvested, I ate the heart right there while gutting it. It wasn't very good, but worth it.
