Just took my first buck and did it on the archery opener on public land. Many seasons worth of hours went into that one. It leaves me humbled yet with a tremendous sense of accomplishment. I'm truly grateful for the experience, it couldn't have been drawn up any better.

I got up and settled into the stand about 6:15. Him and another little buck came in not even 20 minutes later, barely shooting light. I almost got taken off guard and was super excited so I was struggling to keep my sight steady. I let one fly and the impact sounded good but both buck ran about 10 yards, stopped and looked around, then just slowly walked off. They didn't even seemed spooked so their lack of urgency to get out of there convinced me that I straight missed. I hunted for another two hours like it never happened. About 8:30 I see another deer walk in and just lay down about 20 yards in front of my stand. I looked at it through the scope and it's the deer I shot going belly up and died two or three minutes later. I couldn't believe it.
