All I can say is I looked down the scope and didn't see horns or spots lol And your right I don't have a recipe for horns so being a buck don't matter |

Congrats on your first deer. That is some fine eating right there. Pith on horns. Your right you can't eat them. My first deer I had to run to it real quick. A Crawfish was dragging it into it's hole when I got to it. Matter of fact most of them were little. LOL

Ok
So I got in the stand about 615 with overcast heavy rain and strong wind About 635 I see a white flash in the road where the feeder was as it got a little lighter I could see her at the feeder eating. So I check to see if she had spots or horns and she didn't but I couldn't get a shot on here. About 650 a rabbit spooked her and she took 2 steps back. I shoot. I miss. She jumps up and looks at me. I chamber a round and aim again. This time the .243 does the job and I hit just behind the shoulder and she drops. Ross will have to confirm the distance but I think she was around 75 yards or so. Anyway it was nice to get the jitters out and I def want to kill another. |

The jitters is why I keep deer hunting. Nothing like the time right before you pull the trigger. Congrats on your first,will be nice and tender.
