I did some bird hunting 20 years ago with my grandfather but have never deer hunted. Got on a lease with buddy this year. Never knew what I was missing!! We’re in central GA. Hunted every day morning and afternoon from 10/27 - 11/4 for my first trip. My buddy said just bust anything to get 1 under my belt. I had safety off and squeezing on a couple 4 pts but just didn’t want to shoot a small deer like that. Like spearing barely legal hogfish, not doing it. Was in a tent mid week, beautiful morning, facing E with breeze in my face. Just as the sun was topping trees out steps a nice 8 pt walking at me 100 yards out. Beautiful animal. My hands starting shaking so bad I could barely count the points through binoculars. Buck fever is real! The shaking only intensified once I got em in the scope 60 yards out and he turned. Thought I would never be able to hit him. The lord smiled on me though and I got him! Very thankful to have been fortunate enough to get this deer for my first! I’m hooked!!! Leaving the wife and kids Thanksgiving day and weekend to hunt! 169lbs
