I didn't start hunting until last year when I was 37 years old. I am 38 now and took my first deer ever. I shot it with my PSE at 20 yards. I didn't realize it it at the time I shot it that it was a button buck, but I got one on the ground. I double lunged it and it went about 80 yards. Now it's time to look for a big buck. I had a good friend show me all I needed to know about gutting and fully processing that deer. I won't ever forget that feeling of seeing that deer on the ground. As if I wasn't hooked before, now there's no question. Attachments:

Thanks, I have never gun hunted, and wanted a challenge. I never imagined how much of a challenge it was going to be. Well worth the wait! Looking forward to the next. Hopefully a nice buck!

Awesome! Hope that one is the first of many!
By the way, since your username is "bassrangerr81", I have to assume that you have a Ranger R81? I have an R83 and love it!
