So I finally took my first deer ever as a 26 year old man. I have spent many hours in the stand and tried to stay as patient as possible. This morning I saw a decent sized buck approaching my shooting lane however my earplugs got snagged on my shirt and as I fumbled around he kept walking out of my lane. I tried to call to him but it did not work. I felt like my heart just got ripped out. I finally had a chance and freaking blew it. I then turned to my left and guess who is standing about 90 yards away. He started to enter the woods and I took my shot with my grandfathers rifle. He made it about 20 yards. I can't explain how excited I am. I am getting a shoulder mount and the meat is being processed. I want to thank each and every one of you that have helped give me tips. I don't think I would have done it without all the informative posts on this forum. Just wanted to share my experience with you guys. There are a few more pictures in the album on photbucket. Thanks again everyone. [img] http://s1343.beta.photobucket.com/user/s...?sort=3&o=1[/img]
