Thread: First red deer!

That's cool. Make sure that you record the memory in some sort of enduring way.

When you look back at my age your life will be a blur and the details of such a significant event will be likely lost if you haven't captured it. Its too precious for that.

For the last 5 years I have kept a hunting diary with all sorts of things recorded. Its random, but significant to me and when I shuffle off to a rest home it will come too.

Good job @Been Upto, delighted to see your success!

I shot a deer week before last, a bit of a "story" to it, and I made a note-to-self in the form of a video on my GoPro about how damned happy I was with the job. When I got back to the house around midnight I was buggered and happy as, really chuffed. It's something that we sometimes forget as older blokes with more "tails on our belts", that we must work hard to maintain the enjoyment of a good hunt, and the memory of it mustn't be lost in amidst all the crap of life. You young fellas have a massive advantage in that you are able to record everything digitally - use it wisely and back it up! I lost a lot of the celluloid photos of my early hunting days, mid-80s to late-90s, in a burglary. I was completely torn up about that.
