Great story and a great deer also.

Knowing the area that you are hunting goes a long ways towards success. It's nice to try new spots but if you know an area that has animals that are the quality that you are looking for then I would stick to that area. After a while you will learn where they like to feed, Where they like to bed, and what routes that they use to come and go. In archery hunting knowing those thing will help your success rate go way up.

Great job hound. that is a great first deer with a bow. And I loved the story to. It won't matter how many you kill with a bow all of the stories will be that exiting.

Congrats, and really liked your story.
I also really like the way you posed the deer in the second pict. Thats a nice, natural way to show your trophy.
