Congratulations! Every animal is a trophy in my opinion and I hope you have many more.

Form the picture that you posted, I would say you are correct in calling the buck a 7 point.

Nice one, Paul! My family doesn't hunt either, so it is cool seeing how well you are doing, being self-taught. You learn mighty quick!

That is so awesome!  Great story and pics.  I was right there with you!

I just bury my skulls in the compost heap and dig them up next year.  But, my first buck was mounted and still hangs on my wall.  It's dang near the same size too.  I was poor at the time and really had a hard time justifying the $350 I paid for it but now it was worth it.
Take a kid hunting!

Nice one! I too come from a no-Hunting family and learned on my own and this site. My first deer was last season a doe however. A buck on your first Trad harvest or any deer harvest is really cool!

WAY to go!!! Man, his not the biggest but in this case size doesn't matter. You probably would have been just as happy with that big doe. Good for you.

The thrill from your first is something that you won't forget. Congratulations on your first and self taught at that.

WTG and congrats on a self taught first-he's a beauty.
The essence of the hunt for me is to enter nature and observe+ return safely occasionally with the gift of a life taken.
