First Buck
Hi, my name is Haley Sorensen and I am 15 years old and live in Prior Lake, Minnesota. I have been hunting big game since I was 12 and this year I took my very first buck with my bow in Eastern Washington. My Whitetail buck is a big 10-pointer with an 18-inch spread and a very symmetrical rack. I was hunting out of a Double Bull ground blind on November 27, 2009 when the big buck came running in chasing after some does. I quickly drew back my bow, centered my 20-yard pin right behind his front shoulder, and let the arrow fly. It was a perfect double lung shot and the buck only traveled about 80 yards before he piled up. It happened so fast and I could not believe it. I guess all the practice I put in with my Dad really paid off and when the moment of truth appeared my instincts just took over. I was so excited to have taken such a wonderful buck and my Dad and Uncle Mike were so proud of me! Here is a picture of me and my big buck along with some additional information on the equipment I used:Equipment:
