I have been hunting for quiet sometime since around 2005 or so alway have been in on all kinds of animal just never had a good ethical shot well lat season I sealed the deal on my first kill an that was a 180 lb cougar which I just got back the age of him he was a 4yr old tom this yr I hunted really hard but the super hot weather didn't make general modern deer easy on the east side seen 3 legal bucks all on the run through canyons that where thick as crap so no ethical shot so a buddy of mine said well if you just want a deer down I can put you into a deer in a any deer unit well I went to work the next day got off work and headed to go pick my buddy up we headed out we hit a few spots he likes to hunt and another that has apple trees off his uncles property not a deer in sight our last area he wanted to hunt within seconds we see 2 does at 20 yrds we get busted right away they run and stop at 80yrds I creep up to set busted again they split and we start to track one of them walked around the timber I hear a branch break and there she was I shoulder the gun and she bolts we decide to go back the clearing we walk up an another doe pops up I hold on her shoulder and gently touch the trigger and notice something behind her buck at 45 yrds I'm shaking trying to hold steady first real shot on a buck I pull the trigger I miss the vitals but shot him in the neck break his spine buck down I was super stoked and glad I finally got my buck
