My first deer

He's not much, but they all taste good, which is all that matters.

A Swiss K-31 in 7.5 Swiss.

I'm a curio and relic guy. This was the only one I had that had a scope mount that doesn't require butchering the rifle; I don't drill holes in old guns.

Congrats on your first deer. Make sure you keep that rack because there still isn't any thing like your first deer.

I noticed you had a K-31 in the picture and I thought "Cool." Then I saw the scope and I was like "Noooooooooooooooo." Then I saw that you didn't have to drill holes in and now I'm back to "Cool."

Those K-31s are great shooting rifles. My hunting partner's father has a K-31 and scoped it too but had holes drilled in it. What a shame.

Congratulations on your first deer and may there be many more ..........That brown Carhart and tan pants would make me a little uneasy in the woods around here.

I was in Sterling City, TX.

Unfortunately, I didn't keep the rack :-(. Didn't really think about it. I wasn't hunting for sport, just food. He was just a spike, it didn't even cross my mind.

[b] congrats on your 1st deer[/b]

That's a very nice deer. Hopefully you kept pics since you didn't save the rack. My first was a doe so I had the hide tanned..... Guess it doesn't matter because you'll always remember the 1st.

Great job!!!!

I kept mine even though it was a button buck. Either sex bow season and I thought I shot a doe until I found it. LOL.

But the memories are the most important. And despite no big-ol wall-hangers, I don't consider any of them "just" anything.

I would definitely keep a button... Would be awesome to have on the wall!

You will NEVER forget your first kiss, your first car, your first speeding ticket or your first deer. I envy you the eating part. Good job.

Nice job, congrats. I've used 2 different Mosin Nagant rifles in the past 2 years to make venison.
