1st deer !!! Brennan has had a heck of season starting with youth hunt and choosing to pass a couple smaller bucks as his sister shot a 6pt. We hunted opening day and he said he wanted to shoot a buck with at least 3 on 1 side. We saw 8 different bucks and tons of doe. Then it became too far or too dark and it just didn’t happen. We then decided that taking a doe was the plan. We then couldn’t any in range during muzzleloader. Finally after hunt #18 this season, he finally connected on a doe. Dropped it with .243 @ 100 yards. We both jumped out of chairs. What a feeling for both us. He says a few hours later ” I can’t stop thinking about it”.. hooked for life… And yes, she didn’t go 20
