Went hunting for my first time last week with my father in law out in Eakly. Had a late lunch Thanksgiving day, had a nap and then headed out about 3:30. Drove into the field and counted 13 does running for the tree line. Got into the stand, about 20 minutes later saw a doe with a fawn getting chased by a young buck. About another half hour or so saw another doe head over by the feeder/peanut pile. Decided to take her, she was about 150 yards out. This was my first deer ever so I was a little amped up before the shot, had to really concentrate to slow my breathing down, crosshairs were figure 8-ing all over the place. Got calmed down and broke the shot with my suppressed 18" AR, SPR style, with a Black Hills Mk262, 77gr SMK. Hit her behind the shoulder, she ran through(not over) the fence, found her about 50-75 yards away. Figure she was about 100 lbs and around 3 years old.

Congrats on deer hump!

Was watching some geese and ducks pour into a field this evening and glassed over the edge of the field. Seen two really good bucks chasing a doe hard. Beautiful sunset.

A friend of ours got her first deer tonight. With her Camaro! DOH! Luckily she and her daughter are OK and the car surprisingly wasn't hurt too bad. It was a young 6 point. GW said there's been a bunch of young bucks getting killed on the roads lately.

5 bucks, 7 doe this evening, no shooters. Was distracted all evening by constant flights of ducks so I may have missed a few deer lol. A buddy shot a nice one this morning that was chasing hard.
