Hey All,
I have read stories of peoples first hunts on the forums and thought I would share my own.
Last November I went hunting for the first time with my fiance and our best friend. Knowing that I did not want to interfear too much with the "guy time" I got them to drop me off on a feild that we had tried out the weekend before, so they could go off and crawl through the bush together!
I didnt expect to get a thing, honestly. I had traffic on the dirt road not too far behind me, always stoping and watching... well I would watch too. Picture this, some girl sitting on a white bucket behind some cheap walmart blind... I hated having myself exposed to the road, IT WAS LIKE i WAS ON DISPLAY!
Anyway I start hearing this noise in the bush to my right, and I start freaking out on the inside... I have never, ever in my life shot a gun at something that was alive!! I hear a snorting sound and Im trying to pivot 90 degrees on this ******ed bucket without making any noise.
And I saw my first deer up close.. he was in the bush no more than 30 meters away. So I pull my gun up and try to find the damn thing in the scope and I cant.... There is too much bush so I sit there, I look at him with my naked eye, see him... look through the scope... and cant! Hes stomping his feet and snorting real loud and all I can hear in my heartbeat in my ears!
He walked off and I could no longer see him. A couple minutes later he reappeared, this time no more than 15 meters away from me, and the only thought I have is that Im going to get charged by a dang deer!!!!
I pulled the gun up, saw nothing but the deers face in my scope (pretty sure it was on 8 or 9 power..) and did not hesitate to pull the trigger.
Then it was quiet and I wasn't sure what to do next. I knew that I had to track it if I wounded it... or my worst fear at that point... slitting its throught... Also at this point I had some guy in his truck watching me from the road!! YES, YES Take a look ... Brandy is on display!
So I walked over and there was this little guy dead on the ground, only about 2 meters in from the edge of the bush. I had shot him clean through the neck!
And honeslty I had no idea what to do... thank god my father in law was coming down the road because he heard the shot.... I helped skin and quater my first deer without hesitation.. The only thing I would not do was drink a shot of its blood... which apparently is a tradition that this blonde was NOT dumb enough to fall for!!!!
