Got my first deer ever earlier this year with a muzzleloader and today I got my first buck with a rifle.
I was getting up to leave after freezing my ass off for three hours and only seeing one doe. So I stand up, light a cigarette, and dig through 3 layers of pants to find my man parts and just as I'm about to start pissing I hear crunch, crunch, crunch. Sure enough, about 50 yards away this little guy comes prancing through the hard woods without a care in the world. I managed to put mr happy back in my pants and pick up my rifle and shot him at about 30-40 yards. Had a hell of a time carrying him out of the valley. Not the biggest in the world but I'm happy. Had 5 good points with one stubby brow tine so I'm calling it a 5 1/2 point. 
Rifle is a Marlin XR-7 .270 topped with a barska 3-12 illuminated scope. Cheapo winchester soft point rounds from walmart. Shot went in the left shoulder and exited mid way down his spine on the right side. DRT. |

its funny how you sit for hours and see nothing, but as soon as you stand to pee, eat, stretch they come out Brian Yep, it's happened to me with turkeys as well. It's like they know. Quick update. Went back to the same area yesterday to push for my buddy who helped me drag that buck out. He ended up killing a spike less than 20 feet from my gut pile from the day before. |

 Great job OP
Between your muzzleloader deer and this buck, you're having a killer season! This is my first year deer hunting so yeah, I guess I'm getting spoiled. Kansas has a ton of public land and no shortage of deer. I also have a good hunting partner who has taught me alot so I've been pretty lucky. In January we have a special extended season for does. I'm going to put my daughter on a doe if things work out right. She got her first turkey this year so she is starting to get the bug. |

Congrats! It's addicting. When I posted my first buck here I got made fun of. It was in the hometown forum though.The first deer I ever killed was a spike buck. I was elated to finally have a deer on the ground after 21 years of waiting. I had been hunting hard all season and never had a shot at a deer. I had been running dogs with my brother in law's hunt club and their rule was you couldnt shoot a buck unless it was 18 inches wide. I shot that little buck during the last couple minutes of shooting light and I couldnt tell it was a spike. Within minutes tons of guys from the club were walking behind me scolding me for shooting a spike as I drug it out by myself. Not the best introduction into the brotherhood. Luckily I married into 389 acres and I have been killing the fuck out of deer without dogs ever since, Fuck those douchebags and thier inbred fucing walkerhounds!!!!! Leatherpuke congrats bro. |

Cmon, you missed you chance for a great story! "I shot this buck with my junk hanging out!" It reminds me of my father pissing off the back of the boat while striper fishing and reeling in a decent striper with his Johnson in the wind. The story comes up every time we fish without fail.
Congrats brother! |

Congrats brother! So no shit, there i was on my boat last spring just floating around waiting for the catfish to bite, smoking a cigarette. Finally one of my rods doubles over and starts peeling drag like a mad man. I got so excited that when I tried to put the cigarette in my mouth I put it in BACkWARDS and burned the living shit out of my lips and tongue! Hurt like fuck and I lost the fish. |
