My first Deer
« on: September 30, 2009, 08:11:48 AM »
Hey guys, this is my first deer. I got drawn for a doe over on the east side in the colockum! This was two years ago when I was only 14. I have been hunting sice I was 9 with my daddy  :rolleyes:
I used a 243 to drop this deer. Enjoy

Way to go!  I'm 20 and still looking for my first deer so a little jealous.  Grown up a bird hunter though.  Been hunting with my dad since I could carry a toy gun.  It's my biggest passion in life now!

That is great.  243 is a great cartridge too.

The Colockum is some nice country.
May I always be the kind of person my dog thinks I am.

 Great job, your already ahead of some of us, I didn't really get started seriously deer hunting until I was 18. Way to go.

Good job.  I started at 12 with my Dad and didn't get one until I was 36.  Read magazines and watch films on hunting and you'll get really good at it.  I get two or more deer a year now (out of state).

Learn how to use a grunt call.  They work and can be fun.  The most important thing is to not let them smell you.  Your Dad has probably taught you all this.

The thing I enjoy most about deer hunting is the experience shared with my Dad.  We're still hunting together.
