Home made venison and bacon sausage rolls. Yummy. Went down a treat. One would have been enough but everyone smashed two........

I had a similar experience (in relation to it being unexpected) with a fox last year--face to face with it at 15m & my heart trying to bust out of my chest while trying to hold a torch & rifle, & i put the shot over its head--@ 15 bludy metres...!!
So you getting your first deer at 70m is a cracker of a shot in my book...!
Any hunter-be it a rifle shooter, bow hunter or even rock thrower who can find the energy to knock any part of your effort is sad sad sack of fermenting onion skins...!
Im as envious as i am happy for you.!
The situations where time & energy dont allow you to take the skin are a bummer hey...
I regret not taking many skins--in particular i really regret leaving 3 very unique & unbelievable quality goat skins.
So its a shame you dont have the skin of your first...
But atleast you've got the memory down on paper, along with gps coordinates & some really great pics...!

Forgive me for this silly question I've never hunted deer and I've led a very secluded life '' lol''
