RE: First deer!
ORIGINAL: Planter
I always like to hear how your first field dressing went. Did you retch and get dry heaves. Were you enveloped in the steam of a hot gut pile?? How did you do on the butt?
If you have not taken her to the butcher yet you should clean her up a bit and have someone take a pic with you in it. Good pictures will make your trophy last forever. Maybe send the hide out to get tanned. Will cost about $30.00 but worth every penny. I send mine to WB Place but off hand I forget where they are.

Hey bud, congratulations on your first deer. That is an awesome feat. Not tryin to rain on your parade or take anything away from your deer, but be careful with shots like that, they are not high percentage. Sometimes if you don't have the right shot angle it is best to just wait for the animal to turn or to pass up the deer altogether. I don't want to come off like i am preaching to you, just don't want to see you lose a big buckby taking a very marginal shot. Best of luck to you this season bud, you have the bug now and there is NO CURE.

I’m always open to constructive criticism, like I said I am new at this, so any advice would be appreciated. The last thing I want to do is wound a deer and not be able to recover it. If a similar situation comes up in the future I will be ready to make a better decision.

Thanks guys! This is all new to me, I didn’t grow up hunting, I’m 40 now, and this is my third season, first season bow hunting. Everything I have learned came from other hunters and reading a lot. I wish I had taken this up twenty years ago.
