The Adventures Of Boogerhead and Me

I went hunting Wednesday with Dad and Boogerhead. Well, I was by myself and Boogerhead was with Dad. So, I am playing Uno on my cell phone when I hear rustling. I look up and see what I think is a hog…..it was not. It was deer butt. And then he lifted up his pretty 4 point head. I was so excited. However, I had no shot out the front window. So, I had to quietly pull in my gun and move it to the side window. But, the bugger wouldn’t turn! He just kept eating and looking in my direction. I decided it was either take a shot or let him walk. I am 39 years old and this was my first deer ever! I was not letting him walk! Finally, he turned just enough….I took the shot. He jumped and I hit him low. He ran some but I heard him fall pretty quick. I was shaking and freaking out. I just shot my first deer and it was a BUCK!!!! I texted Dad and waited for him. We then walked the tree line to where the buck ran and found him just inside the trees down a small hill in a puddle of water.
 
While a lot of people hate the thought of poor bambi being shot, I look at him as food for my child. We live off the meat we get till the next hunting season. This buck means months of meals for my family. Yes, it is exciting, but I don’t hunt to cause the animal pain. I want to hit him so he dies quickly, not suffers. I hunt for food not for thrills.
 
Sorry, I just wanted to clarify before I get hate mail.
