Thread: Iv'e just lost my virginity

Hi there,

I'm new to the site and thought I would introduce myself. Until 2 weeks ago I was a 48 year old virgin however after 6 months of hunting with a deer hunting expert (big brother) I can happily say I have now shot my first deer. I was suppose to be at my brothers house at 3.30 am but I had set my cell phone alarm for Monday to Friday so my alarm never went off, it wasn't until I received a text from my brother at 3.45 am saying where are you that I jumped out of bed, pulled on my clothes, jumped in my truck and high tailed it up there. We still arrived at the hunting spot just before first light so all was not lost, we walked briskly to a spot where my brother had previously shot 2 deer and we had seen others. We got out our bino's and glassed the area, there was no sign of life however after a period of time a hind and fawn walked out into the clearing. Although I had never shot a deer I wasn't tempted to take a shot as these animals are our future crop, after they had a good feed they disappeared back into the bush. I asked my brother if he thought any more would come and he said we should probably go and check out some other areas, we had packed up our stuff and were just about to walk away when I looked back and in virtually the same spot there was a 4 pointer grazing. We quickly got our gear ready, ranged the deer which was 362 meters ballistic (391 meters) and I was soon ready to take my first shot. I took aim and squeezed the trigger, the bullet appeared to just miss the deer's head to the right so I quickly reloaded and took aim again this time hitting the deer in the left rear hind leg. I had to crash through bush until I reach a clearing, my brother had to talk me over to where I shot the deer using a radio. Once there I saw some blood but the deer had gone, I spent about 20 minutes tracking the blood trail until I heard it splashing around in the creek. I moved quickly to the creek scoped up the deer and with a head shot it was all over, I had finally got my first deer (great feeling). https://youtu.be/CJh2GQ5hNjk
