Quote from: Gobble Doc on November 21, 2014, 05:58:38 PMI was short on pictures but here is one that will give you the idea. As is probably obvious by now it was my first deer. At 50 years old I'm getting a late start on deer hunting. Never got to go as a kid and learn my lessons young. I got my bow a couple years ago and got in as much practice as possible since then before going after a deer. As it turned out actually putting down the deer wasn't the hardest part. I spent the morning and evening trying to set up an ambush on this doe and finally got to where I could get a good clean shot. Getting it back to the truck went much better after help arrived. After gutting, skinning, it went to the butcher at 76 lbs. I'm confident that the second deer will go easier. I'll take my 16 year old next time to help with lifting and dragging. Thanks again for everyone who helped out. You know who you are. Hope to post a first buck picture next year. Good deal! Thanks for sharing a picture. Looks like you were pretty close to the river eh?
