I shot this guy 11/28/08 on my lease near Northfield (Motley County). He is currently at Animal House Taxidermy in Whiskey Flats, and should be on my wall in 8 or so months. I'm really proud of this buck, seeing that he's my first, and hopefully not my last!! Let me know what y'all think. His spread was 16.5 inches.

My first was a 5 pt, and I was sure proud. That one will give you a real challenge to try to top. Congrats on a great deer.

I know it. I was sitting in the stand drinking a couple of "kool-aid"s when he walked out from behind the feeder. I told myself all season I would just stay calm and breathe. Yeah, that didn't happen. I started shaking and got really excited. Then I pulled my gun up under a shootin stick and waited for him to give me his shoulder. Gentle squeeze, and when the dust settled, all I saw laying under the feeder was a set of antlers. I called my buddy to go get the truck. I was really proud. Great memory I'll never forget, and that trophy sure won't let me.

Real fine buck and extra fine that it's your first. Congrats!
When he was young, I told Dale Jr. that hunting and racing are a lot alike. Holding that steering wheel and holding that rifle both mean you better be responsible.

Congrats, most people don't kill thier 1st deer of that quality. I know it didn't. I hope it only gets better from here on out.
