Thank you for the details Cade, that is one hunt you'll remember forever!  I remember mine like it was yesterday...

Congrats again!

It doesn't get any better than this! Congrats to you Cade!

"AN HOUR LATER..." That part made me laugh out loud!  
Congratulations Cade... The first one is awesome! Great to have your dad in the tree with you too!

Well, done Cade!!

I saw the arrow fly. It hit him a little above where i was looking at, soon to find out he ducked a few inches and i would have hit him right where i was looking. I saw blood come out as soon as the arrow went through.

He ran away over the hill and i knew he wouldn't go far. I wanted to get out right away and go get him but dad said no, there may be more deer coming and we should wait. AN HOUR LATER, he finally gave in and let us get out of the stand a find him.

We went to the spot where i saw him and saw blood on the ground. It was a great feeling. Then we followed the trail to where he went over the hill. I looked around for a few seconds then i saw him. My heart skipped a beet, we had finally done it. I had killed my first buck.

As we got to him i saw that he was a 3 pointer. He was the nicest looking 3 pointer i have ever seen (in my mind).

This is a day i will never forget. The day i killed my first buck!

Curt, did you manage to film this endeavor? [/b]

Yes, every bit of it!!!! [/b]

Be sure to let us know when it is available.    

My first bow buck 35 years ago yesterday. He had a MUCH LONGER 3rd point (over 2")but not as much mass. Fine work Cade! It is a great honor to watch you growing up with bow in hand.

Outstanding!  Congrats to both of you!  Great tale, too.

You bet bud!!

Way to get it done Cade!!

A few things I'll never forget about this morning....

Halfway to the stand,as it was getting light....the powerful smell that hit us like a brickwall....I whispered to Cade...."smell that?"...Cade says...."that's a buck!"....at the time I thought that hopefully it was sign of things to come...

Cade's reaction after the shot was priceless....and....all caught on video!

This was a big hurtle for Cade....his first "adult" deer....he's killed 3 deer prior. Two button bucks and one doe fawn. He'd set his mind on not killing another fawn this year.
In the past he'd figured out ways to botch up his opps at antlered bucks or big does.  Just two weeks prior he'd messed up again on a buck.  Not this day....on this day he'd "done it right"!!!!

He said he'd been "looking at the heart" when he shot, but had hit high in the chest...a great shot and we knew was a good one.....Cade says on the video," I think he ducked a little"...the deer had in fact "ducked", we have the video to prove it.  We've slowed it down and 2/3/s of the way to the deer, his arrow was covering the heart. His shot was pinpoint perfect.   It's amazing how far they can move in a fraction of a second!

What a morning!!!

Congrats Cade! That's a great morning for both you guys!  

DUDE! I can't believe the old man made you wait an HOUR either...I'm sure that will go down as one of the lonnnnnnnngest hours of your life! Way to go man

Aint that just dandy!!!

When will we expect to see the video???

CONGRATS AGAIN SIR CADE!!!          

Very cool Cade and Dad, my first buck back forty some years ago was a three point. Obviously your Dad is very proud of you and rightly so. Congrats on a fine shot and great moment for both of you!  

Congrats Cade       very nice buck.

Yeah, I know right!!!   But I explained to him that it was early and it was a great opp to double up....he's was good with it for about 5 minutes
