First one to post! I had a great morning with my daughter. this is her first deer and maybe one of the most exciting hunts i've ever been on.
we hunted a box blind overlooking a series of draws in some CRP. we saw one nice buck cross the property north of us but that was it.
there is a wheat field over the ridge and i sneak over there and take a look when i'm hunting there so we try that. sure enough there were three deer there so we use the weed line and some draws to work within 175 yds. this guy decides to come right at us and gets within 40 yards while we are leaning next to a tree for a rest. she decides to take a shot and he runs right at us! we had to dodge out of the way. he crashed into a dead tree knocking it down and then takes a dirt bath not twenty feet from us.
Great job, Alex!

Is the first one a doe or buck, looks like it has a really short antler
It is a button buck we thought it was a doe but it was a really young buck, but counts as an anterless on his tags because they are less than 3 inches. Of course we not have harvested it if we would have know? We donated him to Sportsmen against hunger so some family is not going hungry this week. It was truly a blessed weekend And one I'll never forget!
I hate it when that happens, at least he didn't have to burn his other buck tag tho.
I took my 13 yr old nephew this morning and he shot this one. I don't know who was more excited, me or him.
Took my Son and Nephew to our friends land up by Jet Okla. My son took a 135lb doe, and this 8pt Buck. My nephew took this doe, and passed on 4 different small bucks including a nice 6pt. this morning.
