Today was opening day for firearms in Georgia. I was so excited I couldnt get any sleep last night.
I got in my stand at 6:00am, dozing on and off. At 8:10 I hear rustling so I hit the grunt tube and out comes a deer. I got so excited I must of moved around a lot because he looked straight at me. I sat still for about 3 min as he got closer and presented a shot. He stumbled 30 yards and collapsed. I was pretty scared to even approach it to see what I had done.. I built up courage and saw in laying in a pool of blood. My sidearm drawn, just in case. I nudged it with my foot and blood squirted out, I nearly fell backwards.
Note that this was my first shot ever on a deer. Let alone my first time tracking and field dressing.
