Guest nthewild Posted July 24, 2006 Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 just wondering how old everyone was when they killed their first deer with a bow. i was 14 and killed it with an old bear recurve. i had hunted with it for a few years before, but never got a shot. this was actually the first time i ever shot at a deer.

Jeramie Posted July 24, 2006 Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 Re: HOW OLD WERE YOU... Probably around the age of 21-22 or somewhere in there close. I hunted several years before I finally put down a small 50 some lb doe. It was amazing! I shot one of her friends the week before but hit the shoulder. It didnt put her down. She ran around with a limp for quite a while after that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8ptbuckpa Posted July 24, 2006 Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 Re: HOW OLD WERE YOU... well last year I shot and hit one but we never recovered. I felt horrible about that and still do. The shot I had was 30 yards broadside and had a steep angle and found 6 inches of my arrow and there was still 24 inches left in him with a muzzy broadhead all we found was bubbling blood and the last drop was on the yellow line of a near by road and deer skid marks on the side of the road. We think somebody picked the deer up for meat that night(we waited till the morning to continue tracking it). Oh yeah I was 15 years old but I ended up shooting a big 8 pt in rifle season.

c_lou Posted July 24, 2006 Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 Re: HOW OLD WERE YOU... 3 years ago. I guess I would have been 27. I shot a nice buck with my 10 year old PSE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mo_hunter Posted July 24, 2006 Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 Re: HOW OLD WERE YOU... I didn't start bow hunting till I was 30. I killed a doe that year at 32yrds so 30 it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
