1st Deer
After years of trying (half effort really those years) I finally got my first deer!
Was walking out of the bush a bit early as we had to get back (hunting w/Wife) and look up and there he is standing 15-20 yards away.
took a few minutes to confirm it was buck and then took the shot. Went for a neck shot, as I don't care about mounting anything with the hide and didn't want to deal with mess of organs my first time gutting, etc.
Anyway he dropped on the Spot, kicked a leg once and was done. So he was little 6 (7 tech. as there was an extra small nub.point) Point, and not sure the weight, will update once i get the # from the butcher!
UPDATE - Hanging Weight (gutted, skinned, no head) was 107.6lbs, so based on what I was told that would be around 160-180 lbs live weight

So in 2022 I got my First Turkey, First Bear and now First Deer! Hopefully 2023 turns out just as good!!!

Congrats on your deer and the great year you had so far

Congrats on all the success

Congrats, a good neck shot is one of the best. Damages little meat and drops them like a tone of bricks.

Awesome man congrats! It gets easier after the first one haha.
Don't be afraid of a heart or lung shot. It doesn't make to much of a mess. The only one you gotta worry about is a gut shot. Had a gut shot last year. Man what a disaster. Had to cut alot of meat away , shame on me.
