    I've only been deer hunting 3 times in my life and today I got my first one, a five point healthy buck. Now I know what people mean when they talk about buck fever. I thought for sure I had missed him because my hands were shaking so bad when I shot. Found him about 100ft away dead as a doornail. :)

    Awesome, what rifle did you use?

    I used my new Savage model 10fp .308 with 150gr. Winchester ballistic silver tips. About a 150 yard shot. He was facing me the whole time and would not turn so I could get a broadside shot on him, so I just aimed at his chest. The bullet just missed his heart, but severed a main artery.

    Congradulations you are hooked for life. Once bow hunting I was shaking so bad the leaves on the trees were rattling.

    Yes, I think I am hooked. It was quite a rush.
