First Deer Down!!! (pics and story)

[SpokaneSlayer]

It finally happened!  After 5 years of trying, I tagged my first deer.  BULLBLASTER and I got into our treestands shortly before shooting light.  Got all set and within 5 minutes, spotted the first deer.  A spike.  Pretty soon we had a couple does as well.  After the spike left, a fork horn arrived.  I looked behind us, and spotted a buck coming in but I couldn't tell how big he was.  After a bit, Chris let me know it was a shooter and to get ready.  He was following a doe, and was grunting and snort weezing.  As they came in, we thought the 2 bucks were going to fight.  But they didn't.  The forky came down and started feeding.  Soon after, the bigger buck joined him.  I had ranged this spot earlier at 12 yards, but had no shot.  He then proceeded up the trail.  Chris stood up and gave a grunt while I went to full draw.  After another grunt, the deer turned broadside.  I had also ranged this spot earlier on the spike at 22 yards.  I settled my 20 yard pin slightly high and squeezed the trigger.  After a short hiss, I heard a solid THWACK!!!!  Good hit!  The deer took off and stopped after 15 or 20 yards.  He wobbled a bit, went down, and started thrashing.  We watched as he went still.  He was done and no trailing neccessary.  We got out of the tree and I started jumping around.  I was (and still am) so pumped.  We went over to him and he was a nice little 4x3.  Not a big rack, but a trophy to me.  My very first deer.  I'll never forget it.  HUGE thanks to Chris.  Wouldn't have been possible without him.  Enjoy the pics.

 Sorry about that.  We made a run to the taxidermist.  I gave him the cape in exchange for a work credit on the euromount.

Thank you everyone for the compliments and congrats.  The Hellrazor broadheads definitely did their job.  I'll be using these next year for sure.

RIGHT ON!!!  Nothing can top that feeling!!  Making a perfect shot and watching how effective a broadhead is will build confidence like nothing else.  I'm really happy for you man!!  Bask in the glory!
