I went on my very bow hunt when i was just 7 years old but i still remember it like it was yesturday. My first ever hunt was on Casper moutain ( it's a section of the rocky moutains located in Casper Wyoming) it was about 0530 and it was still dark. we got out of our truck and began a long hike up into the moutain to our tree stands. As we Hiked in along a dirt road we could hear something behind us. About 10 or 20 yard behind us there was a pack of coyotes lol. It must have been a good work out for my dad because he practicaly walked up this moutain with me and my sister wraped around his legs lol. When we arrived up at our tree stands we sat down and waited for daylight. The day seemed to fly buy as soon as the sun came up, It was incredible watching game threw the spoting scope. There was so much beauty in the world but all you had to do was have your eyes open, be very patient and have a bow in your hand. Well it was about 1500 hours and we were thinking about widing down for the day but just as my dad was packing up he saw a small mule deer drinking in a clearing about 15 yards away. He gave me a nudge and told me to take the shot. WOW i remember picking up my little matthews and puting one of my small arrows onto the rest. i was shaking like a leaf lol. My dad gave me a reasuring smile. then i lined up the small deer and pulled back. I breathed calmly and then let the string slide off my fingers just like my dad said. As soon as i released i closed my eyes. when i looked up i saw the deer bounding through the clearing. I thought i had missed. but then my dad pated me on the back and said Good shot. We climbed down from the stand and walked over to the spot where i had shot it. There was a small dab of blood on the ground. We followed the line for about 40 yard, there it was. i had gotten myself a small 4 point mule deer.:P. that was the greatest momment of my life.http://img223.imageshack.us/img223/3122/k2ef4.png
