The Story Of My First Deer
I hope you’re having a merry Christmas, or a happy Boxing Day for those listeners up in Canada. Christmas has an especially important place in my heart for many reasons. Similar to Thanksgiving, I really associate deer hunting with the Christmas holiday. Like many people, growing up I’d quite often go deer hunting during the Christmas break from school. This was actually when I shot my very first deer.
Today is December 26 and that is the exact date I shot my first deer many years ago. For that reason, today I’m going to share the story of that particular hunt with you on this episode of The Big Game Hunting Podcast.

Sponsor
I’ve been a GoHunt INSIDER member for the past few years and I’ve used the information they provide to research what hunts to apply for and find those “hidden gem” units where you can have a great hunt, but still have a reasonable chance of drawing. That cost of that membership has paid for itself many times over with the number of tags I put in for, drew, and had a great hunt on that there’s no way I would have known about otherwise.
These hunts don’t require a lot of preference points either, so don’t let anyone tell you that you need 10 or more points to have a quality hunt. Every tag I’ve ever drawn has required 3 or fewer points (usually 0 or 1) and I’ve had a great hunt on every single one of those tags. There’s no reason you can’t do the same thing either.
So, sign up for an INSIDER membership at GoHunt.com and you can get the information you need to plan a great DIY hunt on public land for yourself. Use promo code BIGGAMEHUNTER when you sign up to get $50 in store credit at their gear shop. Not only will you get the information that will help you know exactly what units to apply for in order to have a fun hunt with a reasonable chance of drawing, but you’ll also get $50 in store credit that you can use to buy some good quality hunting gear at the same time.
