Congrats. I still remember my 1st deer kill. My 1st elk taken was with a 375 JDJ TC Contender pistol. I shot a small bull looking straight at me at 25 yds. I shot and dropped it but it tried to get up so I walked up to it and shot it in the neck. Forgetting that the scope is 1.5" above the barrel and missed the elk at 2 ft. Had to reload and put it down at 1" from the neck. Never forgot those 1st kills and you will always remember your 1st kill.

Thanks again all for the quick replies, the sound advice, and the encouragement along the way! I learned a TON of lessons this morning, and can't wait to get back out there.
Most important lesson is to relax a bit when I see a deer, and make sure I'm confident in my shot. I shall be spending ALOT more time practicing then I have been, and ensuring that my gear is still tuned, and my shots go where I want them to from now on.


She might be a small one, but shes my first, and I wont forget her.
