Shortest hunting trip ever with my wife today. We barely sat for 10 minutes, she grunted twice, this guy showed up and she dropped him right where he stood with a 12 gauge slug. Her first deer!!

Shot this one this morning off hand at about 60 yards while stalking through the woods. Shot it with my Ruger American Ranch 7.62x39. Happened quick so I wasn't able to get any of it on video, just had to take the shot while I had the chance. It's the biggest buck I've ever shot. 16 points.

You got a really nice buck for your first on as well. I’d be embarrassed to compare my first one to yours.

Quiet the experience today, I had my neice in the blind with me and she was after her first buck. We saw a couple good ones this morning, but we balked on the first one because it was so early in the season. We saw 6 or 7 bucks and about that many does. The bucks were on the move today. We watched different bucks tending scrapes at least a half dozen times if not more. Twice we watched 2 doe stand up on hind legs and box it out for a few seconds. This evening movement was hot and heavy as well. We had 1 good buck that showed up often but would only give a 20 second shot opportunity before back after the ladies. You or I that may have been plenty, but this was her first opportunity at a buck and nerves were getting to her. She ended up making the shot after having the buck at 65 yards for nearly 5 minutes. My nerves were getting to me more and more as time ticked by. At one point I even whispered shoot it please!. She dropped the buck in his tracks with a 100 grain .243.
