Good choice on the Vortex spotting scope. I recently bought some Vortex Diamondbacks (all I could afford) and absolutely love them. I compared them and the Nikon Monarchs for a couple months and decided the Vortex were better. They've got a better warranty too :thumb .

Thanks for all the kind words. I've really enjoyed this forum and have been given a warm welcome. Thanks again.

Archer11 - most of this hunt was luck. I think that if you just keep putting yourself where the deer are you will get your opportunity. Stick with it and good luck.

Linder - I think I'm sold on the diamondbacks. I'm tough on binos so don't want to spend a lot but love the idea of their warranty.

Thanks again everyone. I figure I won't start any new threads but wanted to share my other 2 kills that I got. The first one is my first ever kill that I shot at 15 yards from a tree stand. I had a big learning curve my first year and learned a lot through mistakes but finally was able to get a whitetail deer.
My moose I shot this past season a month before my mule deer. He walked in on me and came to 8 yards. I was ground hunting and had myself hidden in a little corner of trees and had him stare me down and snort at me. It was a little scary until he turned and I was able to take my shot. He only went 25 yards and fell over. He isn't big by any means but was my first ever moose and tastes delicious.
