A Virgin NO more.....

[Ftaview]

Well, I am no longer a virgin white tail hunter .........

It was opening day, afternoon hunt, 5 p.m. and this doe presented herself to me at about 200 yards.

I just got out of my tree stand, and was on the ground taking one last look around it was getting dark, hard to see, but her ears were just above the tall grass she was in.

Brought my rifle to my shoulder, got her in the cross hairs on the scope, and took the shot,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,missed as I did not see her go down.....

I took another look, recalculated the distance in my head, lined up the cross hairs of the scope just to the top of her shoulders, and took another shot....

It was a hit, she took 2 steps and went down, not bad I thought to myself, it was a great way to start the week........

Unfortunately the rest of the week was a bust for the rest of us, lots of sightings, but all were too far to take them down....I guess they will be around for next year..

a few pics of a happy hunter.......

Cheers

Did you get into an accident? How do you eat with your face like that? Joking, gratz

 

[BigUglyMan]

You're ugly.

If it's any consolation, the deer should be good eating.

Congrats on your first!!
If we were to replace opening day to tuesday and rifle to shotgun and 200 yards to 100 and scope to Red dot that would be my story
oh its my first doe ever not my first deer

No rifle trip for me this year, but hope for next.

Shotguns only buddy.

Congrats on the deer, you always remember your first time eventhough it can be sloppy and you don't really know what you're doing but it usually gets better with more practice lol
