Likewise, my first deer was a spineshot doe. I never will forget that hunt. Thanks for the story.
Congratulations.
As far as his size, what matters is whether or not you are happy. My first buck was a spike and I cherish him. Again, congrats.

RE: Pic and story of first kill....
Awesome! When I was 12, I shot a doe at about 50 yards away (I'd missed a 10 point in the same stand a week before) and we never found it. We even got dogs out there after 4 hours of searching.
So I waited another 3 years, and I shot my first deer... a spike (spike 4 inches) that weighed 83 lbs. I shot him from 200 yards!
First blood is an awesome thing! I've never shook so much in my life.
Congratulations!

Congrats on a fine deer and a memorable hunt. My first deer was a small 9 point buck that I took with a bow and still my most memorable hunt. You'll never forget that first one. Now get out there and get another.........

I do have to admit that there is a stoy behind this that makes it so much more special to me. Our bow season opened yesterday, Sept. 1st. I was in the stand at 6am. It was one year ago, on Sept. 1st at 5:30am I got a call from my mother telling me my brother-in-law had been killed in a car accident on his way home from work. Ironically, it was caused by a deer. He was a deer hunter and loved deer as much as he loved to hunt them.
I got into hunting because he was supposed to take my son. It would probably have been this season. I've hunted since Thanksgiving last year because my son wanted to hunt. We took a turkey our first season and now we have a deer. I was hoping for the first to be on Sept. 1st but I think it brightened up my niece and sister's day to hear about this one. Like I said, it isn't big and it wasn't perfect, but it has a place in my heart. And that little buck is going to have a place for his European mount on my son's bedroom wall.

Beezer, sorry to hear about the loss of your brother-in-law, a sad story!
Congrats on you 1st!!!!!!
I would have to disagree with you on one thing, it is perfect!!!!!!
