 Alright, my first deer! Funny thing about today is I was supposed to go hunt with a friend of mine and his dad, but last night they called and said it wasnt going to work out because I had not gotten a private property slip signed...I was a little upset. I decided to go to my spot in Miami County. I found this spot last season when i first started hunting. This morning was beautiful. After about 45 minutes in my stand I seen the same two does I saw last time I went out. Last time they came and bed down about 70 yards from me. This time they kept moving on along the tree line adjacent to the woods i was in. about 15 min after they left I saw a 6 point going the same direction as them. also, I had never seen a buck in person lol. Im screaming in my head at this time praying he doesnt go the same way they did. He is about 150 yards away and I decided to whip out my estrus bleat. I bust out a few and he looks towards the woods im in and 10 seconds later just runs straight to me! My heart was pounding out of my chest. He ran past me a little ways into some thicks where I lost sight of him. I thought he was gone for good...So I wait 10 more minutes and bust out a couple more bleats and sure enough he comes back right to me. Im already standing up and as soon as he walked past some brush I pull my bow back and aim. hes walkin at a fast pace so i just made a quick bleat and he stops for me at a perfect broadside shot I aimed and let my arrow fly. He jumped up and kicked his back legs out and ran for a second, then started walking. he disappears out of sight from me and 5 seconds later I hear and big crash in the woods. He didnt even go 40 yards! My arrow went clean through him and after dressing him I could see it was a clean liver shot. Today was such an awesome day and Im glad my first deer ever was with a bow and I harvested a buck, thats a win for me! .... Oh, and by the way, when I took him to the local deer processor the guy had told me it was the busiest day he has had this year. |

Thanks guys. It's funny seeing my first buck because I thought he looked so massive lol but obviously he's not huge. I'll know the weight when I pick it up. I just remember how intense it was...I'm hooked now more than ever.
