My first deer was a six point whitetail buck and I shot it in the afternoon on opening day of deer season. I shot it through the heart at around 80 yards with my Savage 110 in .270 Winchester using my handloaded ammo - 150 grain Nosler Ballistic Tip. I'm not sure on the deer's weight, but I would quess 120+ pounds. I got the head mounted and it hangs on the livingroom wall.

My first one was a nice doe, maybe 130-140 pounds, I shot her with a 20 gauge and slugs during my first year of hunting (Iowa youth season). The shot was about 15 yards, and I hit her perfect - broke a shoulder and took off a chunk of the heart, as a matter a fact - but she still ran over 100 yards, never have been able to figure out how she went that far with that kind of hit.

I was a stander behind an old stone wall in a brushy field. The drivers who were walking toward us were now visible, and had not scared/driven any deer out in front of them.
Suddenly I saw a buck quartering towards me as nonchalantly as could be, from BEHIND the drivers!
I tried to signal some of the drivers who were much closer to the deer, but couldn't get their attention without alerting the buck, which must have been a few hundred yards away from me.
So, I had to take the shot myself, and the buck imm-ediately dropped. Were the drivers ever surprised!
It dressed out at 135 pounds.
