Title: My first buck
Post by: PathfinderJR on March 21, 2010, 09:41:28 AM: I passed hunter's safety in 2008. the next fall was my first deer hunt.

We got up at 5:00 and went to our spot. It was cold and windy. we hunted till about 10:00. we saw some bucks, but I couldn't get a shot. then, we spotted a herd of mule deer about a half mile away. I belly crawled about 250 yards, and I shot the biggest buck of the herd. I shot him in the neck with my 243 using my dad's shoulder as a rest. I was so excited!!! I was jumping up and down!!
Here are some pictures.

P.S. Tell your dad to quit throwing wrenches at you.. :lol4: :lol4:
