HuntingInMaine Posted November 12, 2004 Report Share Posted November 12, 2004 After three years of hunting I finally got my first deer this morning!!! I don't think I have been this happy since I had my kids. My youngest son was with me as we sat on a stone wall just looking around. I told him I was going to go up ahead and see if we would have a better view further ahead. I hadn't taken 10 steps when he shouts "Mom, it's a deer! It's a big one!" I have never been so happy that he has trouble keeping quiet in the woods. LOL His yelling to me scared the deer and he ran straight in front of me and I shot twice. He dropped a couple yards away, and I was thrilled beyond belief to see it was a very big 8 point buck and he weighed in at 212.5 pounds. This made the long wait all worth it, and it was even better that my son was their to see it all happen! I already have a spot cleared on the wall to hang this one!!!

HuntingInMaine Posted November 12, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2004 Re: Finally got my first deer!!!!! Thanks for all the congratulations guys! I still can't stop smiling. I am going to learn how to cape it out for mounting today (my fiance will be doing the actual work, I don't want to mess this one up!) and hopefully the weather stays cold enough that I can leave it hanging for a few more days. First I need to get a few nicer pictures that aren't in the back of a truck! Linda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HuntingInMaine Posted November 13, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2004 Re: Finally got my first deer!!!!! Mainebuck, He was just getting into the full swing of rut, there was a little staining on his legs and there was a very distinct odor! LOL I think this next week is going to be a very active one for some eager bucks....good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
