After 11 years of seeing nothing, missing, and a muzzle loader not igniting.......I finally get my first deer ever in my first bow season ever (sorry for being a homer).
Bear G2 Buckmaster bow, warrior arrow, grim reaper broad head. 30-35 yard shot. A little high and back but due to the angle from the stand a destroyed her lungs. Page 3 Ownage  |

Congratulations! I'm sorry to hear that it took you 11 years, and I sincerely hope that it doesn't take you that long for your second one.

Thunderchicken21, that pic of you with the buck looks like you took the time to get a quality photo. It really captures the moment and is quite scenic. Congratulations on a great buck!

Ive killed a lot of deer but this is my my first cross bow kill. I had given up the hunt and pulled out my cell phone to call work when I heard him coming. Shot him from about 15 yards sitting by a stump with about 5 mins of legal shooting lime left. He ran about 30 yards before giving it up - should be good eating + I still have my buck tag

It may be overkill to some, but I usually end up taking about 30 or so pictures just to get the right one. It really does capture the moment better, and they are pictures you can be proud to show anyone. Here's another:  |

Sounds good, I'm in Warren but hunting in Butler so hopefully I see a buck close to yours. Of course I'd probably shake so hard I'd fall out of the tree stand. |

Tagged out this evening, two days before firearms season opens. It wasn't my proudest moment by any means. A small buck was harassing this doe, and right as I was triggering my release, the buck lunged at the doe. She turned to look back at the buck as soon as the arrow was in flight, and instead of hitting her in the vitals, I hit her dead square in the neck.  |

She was alone in heavy brush, so I had no other does to compare her size with. No problem though –– I donated the meat to a local food bank.

Good deal, Not judging you by any means brother, Just had a good chuckle at the pic when I seen the ATA on your bow was longer than the slickers height all together 
We've all been in your shoes, they all eat good. |

We've all been in your shoes, they all eat good. I didn't taken any offense. Anyone who has ever shot a button buck has encountered the same thing.  It's hard to judge the size of a single antlerless deer from 20 feet up in a tree. Throw in the fact that a buck was running it all around, and I would have sworn that it was older than it was. |

I blew my 28 yard shot at a PY 8 point this year guys. I smoked this yearling waiting to get down to check my arrow from my missed shot.

I was solo so all I have is a crappy cell phone pic but here is a video if the small 8 I shot on Friday. The video was taken last Wednesday. Not a huge deer by any account but it is my first deer I've ever taken with my bow.

ETA: It was a rhetorical question since your smile really says it all. It certainly was a rush. It's funny, because you watch all the hunting shows and they shoot a buck and the guy is always talking about how he's shaking and that. I always thought they were just playing for the camera/being over dramatic... But sure enough the second I shot that doe the shakes set in. Something about being so close, using a primitive (sorta) weapon, and waiting things out replaying the shot over and over and over - it's all a very powerful, and unique high. Now I can't wait for my next go 'round. |

Already posted this in the deer hunting forum, but I figured I should put it here too. Shot this guy tonight right at dusk from 35 yards, he's a small 5 point, maybe 120 lbs. shot him with a tenpoint Titan using carbon express bolts and NAP spitfire extreme mechanicals. He was quartering away and the shot went in pretty far back and came out his chest, did an amazing amount of damage he dropped right away.
Noting amazing, but it's my first deer and it's pretty exciting for me!

Finally got the pics back from my dad. That's my mom's cousin in the background anonymously. He helped drag about 75 yards until we got to the trail for the Kubota.
