First Deer at 42

[whitsend]

I just started hunting 3 years ago and got my first deer on Saturday December 26, 2015.
I missed one my first year hunting and missed another with a bow earlier this year.

I plan to try my hand at a European skull mount.

WELL.........

I shot him at 5:29, still had 7 minutes of legal shooting left.
(That's my story and I'm sticking to it)

Thanks.

Congratulations! It is just as gratifying at 42 as it is at 14! Perhaps even more so because of your maturity and I hope, appreciation for the feat (and the money it takes)!

Congratulations! I waited way too long in life to get my first one. Makes the memory of it clearer and sweeter though. Nice going!

Congrats! I'm 50 and have only got to go hunting once and didn't see any. Unfortunately I wouldn't know what to do with it once I shot it. lol

You head to a buddies house, hang it on his skinning rack, watch his son skin it, wipe some blood on your face for pictures, put the skinned deer in a ice chest, take ice chest to processor, enjoy!!!!

At least that's what I did.
