First Bow Kill === First Deer

I have never killed a deer with a bow. I have been scouting this area since end of last December so I know alot about the travel. Been using each time in the stand as a learning experience.

I can’t even recall where the first shot was placed. I was so blown away I didnt spend enough time looking him over once he was down to see where it may have connected at. I know I hit him quartering toward me someplace and he dropped… Tried to turn and I sent the 2nd one through his back and punched a hole in the middle if his chest. It’s very brushy and my Adrenalin was pumping and I had a small hole in trees to thread. I’m proud of the 2.5 year old 5 point as I popped my cherry and hopefully remember more of the next exciting event :slight_smile:

115 or 120 lb deer. Not small but not big but in freezer :slight_smile:


Damaged heads :slight_smile:

He has bigger brothers so my doe will get bred enough.

I wanted a doe this morning but I like the spot I got and didn’t expect him.

Good for you!! Great deer. Any deer with a bow is a feat. Nice shot also, quartering towards you shots are the riskiest in regards to shot placement with a bow but hey it worked for you!

Congrats!!
