My First Whitetail ever. Dec 5.

Congratulations. Curious as to why the orange. I assume it's just archery season where you are? When i sit in a treestand during archery season I'm in full camo.
 
Nice. You must be so excited. I got my first whitetail buck this year too after years of only getting muleys; a 5x6 that is in the process of being mounted.

Orange has zero effect on deer and makes the hunt safer in populated areas. Why not wear orange is the real question...


OP, congrats on the buck. He's a good one.
 
Nice buck. I"ve wondered what hunting with a cross-bow was like. I see you are wearing the same apparal that is mandatory over here in Manitoba. He will supply you with a fair bit of meat.
 
Regrding the orange. It was muzzle loader week here.

THanks for all the kind words everyone. I must admit I am surprised that I still feel almost giddy a day later.
 
Well done Daver! I don't know about you, but I think I'll be buying a crossbow next year. The buck I got was shot with a borrowed one as well.

Edit:. Reading comprehension. I see you did buy your crossbow.
 
Very nice. Congrats!!!!
I still have my tag...I will be out with my compound next week.

If you are looking to display the antlers, have a look at a "Do-All Outdoors Iron Buck Antler Mount"

Here is my update for today:

Dinner made just in time for my wife to come home.

I cut both inner loins out yesterday, and did one as bacon wrapped in a cast iron pan last night. Today I made simple marinade and BBQ'd to perfection.
Spicy Mashed potatoes with butter, and Broccoli with a light 2yr aged white cheddar.

Tonight my wife asked what the next hunting season is :)
