Marcel's First Big Buck
Hi Marty
I have been hunting for over 14 years and only bagged 4 does until this year. I bag the big one .I’m not a great hunter but I get better every year .I learned some of my tips the hard way like walking to fast I jumped a lot of deer like that before I realized I was doing something wrong. Waking in the woods when it to early in the morning. Driving to fast, calling with the deer caller before looking everywhere first or to loud when the big buck is really close and scare him away. Patient would be one of the main one that I learned about. Especially after taking to Marty this year. If it’s true what they say about a person learn from his mistake that would make me a dam good hunter by now. But I learn new things every time I go hunting or read a good book but they are not too many of them that I know of. Coming back to my big buck this year I took the first hunting week of, second day 3 big does came right at my tree stand all at once they were about all the same size really big does I did have my doe licence, but decided to wait for the big buck I figured 3 big does the big buck must be around so I –decided instead to take a picture with my new digital binocular that I just bought. I hunt for food that so that was a hard decision to make. Specially after taking a picture of them it was even harder when I saw them walking away and no big buck around to be seen the day when by steel no buck, I was kind of sad about it but I taught well at least I got picture of them about 50 feet from me. My brothers and uncle would never believe me without it. That something I did not think I would ever do in my lifetime taking picture of 3 deer and not bagging one. That when patient comes handy. Got home that night ask the wife to unload the picture on the computer then (surprise) somehow I had deleted the only 3 good pictures of the deer the only one that stayed is when where they were almost to far to see any thing. Did I ever get bugged by my family after that? The week when by steel nothing, I was running out of patient ,one night I went on the internet and search for beginner hunting tips, It to me to Marty Prokop site I email him my story and ask him if he thought I did wrong not to bag one doe. Thanks to Marty he put me on the right track and reminds me to be patient and not to give up. I’m glad Listened to him .thanks again Marty you’re the man.

what is url?
Marty I saw the picture of my big buck with his tongue sticking out it and it reminded me of a deer hunting tape I watched last week.
They were saying a hunter should take a picture of the deer as is in the woods where it was shot, then another one at the same place but with the deer all clean, meaning no blood on it`s body or it`s face and specially place it`s tongue back in it`s mouth.
I never tought of that but it would look better when you show it to anybody that dislikes deer hunting.
You might want to put something like that on your site so other people dont do the same mistake that I did .
Thank`s again for your time.\
P.S. I took a picture of mine home the next day.
Marcel
Marcel,
Thanks for your comment.
I agree that some people who dislike deer hunting would find any picture of a dead animal disgusting.
I personally place the deer's toungue back in it's mouth before I take any pictures. For me it is a form of respect to the animal I just harvested.
In regards to showing a picture of the deer I shot, I make sure the people who see the pictures are fellow deer hunters and try not to show photos to anti-hunters or people who do not like deer hunting.
By sharing your deer hunting success photos with fellow deer hunters, they can share your excitement and happiness with you and appreciate the hard work you put in to getting your deer.
Good Luck and Great Hunting!
