199/2287My name is Briana Medema, I am 20 years old and I have been hunting for over 8 years. This past hunting season I shot my first deer! It was an 8 point buck, I shot it around 7:18 am, on opening morning in Mille Lacs county. I shot the buck on the property my boyfriend and I had just purchased. After taking this animal the feeling was something I could not describe!! The first thing I did was call my brother and boyfriend, they both say they could hear the shakiness in my voice, it was buck fever I guess. I was so excited that my first deer was so beautiful!

All the hard work and practice paid off-- a double lung shot dropped this 17" inside spread 8 point buck after 15 yards in Blue Earth County on November 2, 201. It won't be my biggest ever, but it will always be the one that means the most!

My dad has been gone from lung cancer now for 13 years, who was an avid hunter in his own right, so we feel for sure there is divine intervention when ever we are in the hunting woods!! My mom has harvested the biggest 12 point buck on their hunting to date and last year shot the biggest buck among any of us 8 hunters. I am so proud of my mom and we can't thank enough the farmers in the Lancaster area that helped us recover, gut, skin and load the huge elk, Joe Waupleski, Carl Chrisopherson, Daryll & CJ Peterson.
