Re: My First Deer!

Ok everyone.. while I was at school today, my dad had the pics of me and my deer developed. I just scanned them and here they are.. They are not of the best quality, but you can see me, the bow and the deer! wink.gif

In about 20 minutes we're gonna pick the deer up from the butcher and I'll scan the tag. Then post it on the Contest Entry thread..

Re: My First Deer!

Everyone I am still giggling like a kid as to what happend grin.gif Thanks for all the kind words, I can't get over what I did. I was convinced that she would make the water if we did not persue her. You have to see the terrain to see why , she kept rolling down hill. That animals willingness to live was incredible.

I thought outside of the boo boo on my finger blush.gif I was OK...But...My thighs are killing me!

Like I ran a million miles! That ice cold water contracted my muscles soo tight and my grappling the deer so she don't take off down with the streams force really did a number on my thigh muscles... My calfs were alright, they were in rubber boots, but OH! are my thighs killing me. blush.gif

Joe fed the family tonite by supplying backstraps tongue.gif

Its nice to have another meat gatherer in the cave grin.gif

And Yes...Traditions( the post above) was my 2, soon to be 3, boys hunter ed instructor. If anyone would've appreciated this story, it would be him!

Re: My First Deer!

Great Job on the deer. Congratulations. You will have to change your screen name to deerhunter (prob already taken, though).

Where I come from, if a narrow body of water has a current, we call it a river. I thought your dad was just going overboard but it sounds like jumping into the crik with a current needed to be done. Talk about commitment.

Congrats again.

Re: My First Deer! ( UPDATED 4/20/06 )

Ok.. you guys are probably all gonna be annoyed with me from bringing this one back up to the top, but I have to update you guys on this one.. My dad got the bill from the hospital a few weeks ago for his stitches, $1700!!! blush.gif Plus the $200 camera, $10 arrows, $30 broadheads.. yikes I went over $2000 with this deer. I made a promise to my dad this year, I will double lung them and get a pass through so we don't have to go swimming again. grin.gif He told me next time, I'm jumping in.. grin.gifblush.gifcrazy.gif
