Guest kyhunter1 Posted August 27, 2005 Report Share Posted August 27, 2005 Re: how old where you when... My first deer was taken when I was 14 years old. I shot a doe with my my brand new muzzle loader I got for christmas the year before. She weighed in at 135lbs. dressed. I was the happiest guy in the woods! Ill never forget my first deer, especially because I got to take it with my grandfather the year before he died. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PAbowhunter4life Posted August 27, 2005 Report Share Posted August 27, 2005 Re: how old where you when... I started hunting when I was 13 and got my first deer at 14. Should have had a nice 9 point my first year but I got a BAD CASE of buck fever, and I mean BAD. I know he was a nice 9 cause my uncle that was with me shot him since I couldn't raise the gun lol. At any rate, I got my first deer, a doe (actually a buck that lost antlers) during our extended doe season in Allegheny County using my 870. Shot it on Jan 4th I believe it was and man was it COLD.

christsavedme Posted August 27, 2005 Report Share Posted August 27, 2005 Re: how old where you when... I took my first deer when I was 11 Y/O with a 20 ga shotgun. It was a spike buck with 11" spikes. First with a bow was at 14, another spike in full velvet with acorn tips. Haven't killed another spike sense then. Guess I got smart as I got older!

BowJoe Posted August 27, 2005 Report Share Posted August 27, 2005 Re: how old where you when... I didn't grow up in a hunting family so I started at 20. I didn't get anything my first year, but my buddy videotaped my first button buck. To me that's a good a trophy as any. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VTbowman Posted August 27, 2005 Report Share Posted August 27, 2005 Re: how old where you when... I was fairly old when I got my 1st. Shot archery since I was 12 but never hunted really until I went into the USAF. I started seriously hunting when I was 19 and was 21 when I got my 1st with a borrowed 30.06. It was a nice 4 pointer. I had hunted quite a bit before that but never closed the deal on a deer. Got a few wild pigs on Guam with my bow though befoire that. I did go out hunting with my dad abnd grandfather when I was younger but never got a shot off on any of those trips. I did not go much when I was younger. Sports a girls took up most of my time.

dg Posted August 27, 2005 Report Share Posted August 27, 2005 Re: how old where you when... I was 10 and shot a spike with a .270. I didn't prop myself right while leaning against a tree on a hill and it rolled me! My granddad was laughing his head off! Put a nice hole in the neck and dropped it. Thank goodness, because that's not where I was aiming........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbeck Posted August 29, 2005 Report Share Posted August 29, 2005 Re: how old where you when... I took my first deer with a bow, 3 pt. I was 17. I then took a buck with the bow for the next 15 yrs. not bad in Pa. Then I started getting fussy, I took a 20 inch 7pt. 4 yrs ago. took a 18 inch 8 pt. 2 yrs ago. I still fill a doe tag every year with the bow, but save the buck tag for a little better deer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
