My first deer was back in 2002 opening day of shotgun season I was 15 at the time. This was the first time I have ever gone hunting and went with a family friend down to public land in southern Ohio. I sat in stand all morning not seeing a thing so we started to do a few drives in the warm weather. I was only on stand for maybe 5 minutes when I heard movement in front of me and a small 6 point was trotting down the hill. I line up on him when he was about 50 yards away and pull the trigger and I completely missed him. As disappointed as I was I still sat there about another few minutes went passed and I hear movement in front of me and I think its the 6 point coming back down. When I look up I'm surprised to see a bigger 8 point so I let him get really close and pull up on him and squeeze a shot off and he starts running up the other side of a hill and I watch him drop about 30 yards from me.
