Trisha's first MONSTER deer

I know, I know..its huge! :) Justin & I went up hunting on his parents property tonight & seen this deer. Justin talked me into shooting it. I don't think I would have had a better chance to shoot one though because it just stood there. It took him about 10 minutes to talk me into it & for it to turn sideways to where I felt like I would actually be able to hit it. I had to get down & use the tri-pod deal cause I had to shoot up hill, not to mention I got scoped in the face a little bit... Good thing the gun didn't have too hard of a kick! :) (rifle 22-250)

Here is the big guy! Yup-still in the velvet
I am proud to say I dropped him with my first shot (shooting up hill & about 350 yards away) he laid down then stood back up a couple seconds later, so I had to shoot again.. I must say it was quite a rush & I was pretty nervous for my first time. I look forward to many more huntin' trips...I'm officially now a true hunter!!

I can't believe you shot a deer. That's awesome! Brett is trying to get me ready for my first one this coming week... We'll see how it goes.
