deerslayer06 Posted December 3, 2007 Report Share Posted December 3, 2007 Hey everyone, just reporting that I have shot my first Buck!!! I got him yesterday morning here in Indiana (2nd to last day of deer season). It was a nice morning about 25 degrees with a slight Eastern wind, perfect! I got up into my stand at 6:40am and legal shooting light was at 7:20. At 7:27 I could hear a deer walking the ridge over my left shoulder. I could see the body but I couldnt tell if it was a buck or a doe. The deer stopped at the end of the woods, looking out into the open clover easment I was set up on (the plot connects two large plots of woods). All of a sudden the woods erupted as several turkeys flew off their roost tree right above me, what a cool sight! Then, it was like magic. The deer stepped out into the open. I raised my Mossberg 535 12gauge and put the deer in my scope. I see antlers! I have shot a couple of does before but never a buck. I had soooo many emotions flowing through my body, as the famous "buck fever" set in. I used my left knee to steady my arm and the gun...BOOM! My Lightfield Hybrid EXP slug dropped the buck at 55 yards. There was no struggle or fight for life, the buck just simply folded. I couldnt believe my eyes, I had finally shot a buck. I thanked God and climbed out of my stand then walked up to the 7 point buck. No more wishing or waiting, the buck...was mine. click photos to enlarge [ATTACH]960[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]961[/ATTACH] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
