Hey thanks for the notes guys!  Here is a little more to the story...

He was with a group of 8 deer, 3 does, 2 fawns/younger deer and 2 smaller 2-points.  I was getting up from my hide to head back home when I caught one of the does moving across a trail about 70 yards away.  Then they kept coming.  I know the area pretty good and guessed where they would have to leave and then went and sat on that trail.  Sure enough, about 20 minutes later the whole group headed my way.  This guy and one of the smaller 2-points trailed and none of the does busted me.  When the two bucks got out in front of me, about 15 yards away, they started knockin antlers a little.  That was enough of a distraction for me to draw.  once drawn they looked at me wondering what that was, meanwhile I was taking a deep breath and centering the pin.  Arrow away and a brown puff where the green pin was.  Instant "YES"!

Anyway, the more I think about it the better it gets.  What a fun sport we have.

Great buck!  That is an awesome first deer, or 15th deer for that matter.  Congrats!

Nice buck!  I've seen some nice ones on this island.  I got a really nice one near Coupeville on some private land.  Was it North end or South end of the island if you don't mind me asking?

Patton,

It was on the South end, also on private land. 

I was most amazed at how quickly he died.  You hit 'em in the heart and it is over.
