Crappie_Slayer like you, having been well schooled in hunting, when the opportunity knocks your fiesty pup will know what to do and when to do it.

Your picture tells of a true hunting adventure, your story brings back many memories.

Your dad is proud. 👍👍👍

Congrats on a fine buck! Best part about an early buck is all the time it frees up for other stuff!

I was out and about yesterday, taking care of some things needing taken care of and on our way home just at sunset, we passed a field where what before our eyes did appear but, eight elusive Penna. White Tailed Deer. 😎

Didn't see any head gear and all were calmly grazing (or brazing🤔I can't remember which they do with no front teef) The deer I mean, the deer don't have no front teef.

No other traffic around so I made an exit from our vehicle to do a little C & R hunting.

All was going well and the animals acted like I wasn't even there as I peered through the sights of my camera..... err phone.

Then suddenly, the creatures bolted toward the underbrush along fields edge, only allowing for a blurred shot of two of the animals.

Guess I shouldn't have yelled "everyone look here and say cheese"

Stupid deer!!!

Congrats CS .. awesome story and yes Dad is proud of you 👍. My Dad has been gone 14 yrs and he was also my hunting buddy for yrs , I remember the first deer I got after he passed , I was very emotional realizing that was the first yr I got a deer without him being there .

Great story band experience CS.

I just bought carved deer piece of art because it reminded me of the last buck I shot hunting with my Dad.

Thanks again for the kind words everyone.

Took a walk back in this afternoon to try and find the bolt. Double lunged this deer, but hit the far side leg and busted it resulting in no pass thru. Glad I saw/heard where the deer went down 40yds away last night, because he didn't drop a speck of blood except for where he went down. Found the broadhead in him while gutting last night snapped off at the threads. No sign of my bolt anywhere??? Not that it matters, just find it odd that its not laying around somewhere close. Maybe he ripped it out and whizzed it like a javelin thrower as one last f-u.

Congrats CS,

Few years back, I hit a ten pt in the shoulder blade, while he was running away I watched him run past a tree busting off my arrow, the **** thing flew about ten yds away from the deer nowhere near where it ran, maybe the bolt started to work lose and did something similar? I got good penetration on that deer about 13 inches of the arrow was broken off and it only made it about 70 yds. No blood of course.

Sit 7,8 same results 2 does and a 3pt , different 3pts starting to get frustrated here where's the shooters at?

Beautiful calm, cool morning.  Didn't see a deer from the stand.  Stayed put until a little after 10, pulled a card (just doe), then did some scouting.  Only one small new scrape, one old one with leaves in it and only a handful of rubs.  Kicked out 2 or 3 UFOs on my walk and that was it.   Hopefully it starts to pick up.

Anybody paying attention to the tarsal glands (area) on the doe their seeing?

Good luck, be safe & shoot to kill.
