Default Saw my first buck

This morning I saw my first buck! Im 14 and just got my license this year. It was a 4 point but out of my range. I don't think I could have shot it anyway cause I was shaking real bad because I was so excited.

way to go man, it'll just get better and better, you showed real self-control not just shooting the woods up, someone has taught you well, just remember to breathe

oh yea welcome to the board

Ive been teaching myself to hunt because I have no one to hunt with. My dad said I could get my license but I hunt by myself behind my house(we have 8 acres).

my dad does not hunt anymore either and he never took me hunting, he loves to fish though, he said he had all he wanted of guns in the army, i was very fortunate to have a uncle that was willing to show me "the ropes". and your in a great place here to learn just about anything you need to know about hunting.

best of luck young man

read all you can, hunt as much as you can, keep your grades and school work up and you'll have a bright and enjoyable future, and stay away from girls, there the devil, except for my wife[:-]

Congratulations, Ryguy! You must have been doing a lot of things right to get to see that buck, because they're pretty careful as you know.

Good luck. I hope you get a nice one.

congrats on seeing your first buck. ive been hunting about 6years now and I still remember the first buck I ever saw out of a stand. that buck was a 4pt also. just like you, i was shaking so bad i dont think i could of gotten a shot even if i wanted to. he came to within about 40yds but i was hunting witha recurve so it was way outta range. come to think of it, i was 14 also. sounds like we have the same story to tell....

there will be many more to come

Ryguy!

Sound's as though your hanging in the right spot ,I've read that you've already gotten yourself a doe ,now you can choose the buck of your choice .Just be patient and the big boy will show sooner or later.
