Congrats.  Nothing wrong with that at all.  I've killed a lot of bucks, some really great bucks.  This year I shot a spike because I had very limited time this season and I'll be in Idaho during extended buck.  I'm still just as happy with a spike today as I was 30 years ago.  I'm about putting that wholesome meat on the table.

Next time, just tie each front leg to the corresponging back leg which will make a pack. Arms through the newly constructed "leg straps" and jump on the bike and pedal. Might not work but please video the attempt. I've carried a deer out with this pack method when I was younger. Now someone would have carry me out

Congrats! That's quite the accomplishment! I'm can honestly say I hat I'm not positive I've shot a buck bigger than that after 20 or so years of hunting.

I'd say killing a buck of any size in your second year with no in person mentor is a great job and something to be proud of. Congrats

Exactly this. You also describe this forum well. You learn fast. Are you processing the meat yourself?

Congratulations man!!! My first was a small spike! Savor every tender morsel dude! If interested, slice the tough meat thin, and season it with fajita season, fry up some peppers and onions and make venison fajitas, there bombin good 👍

Well done, thanks for the post. As stated, above save your antlers for the memories. I still have my first mounted on Tennessee Red Ceder from 1966, just a spike but my first deer.
