Re: How old were you when you killed your first de

I was 15. It was a button-buck. Smallest deer anyone ever shot in the area in a very long time. Weighed in around 35-45lbs. The buttons on its head weren't even formed yet. It was from some piebald genetics in the area so it had skeletal deformities of the face and in specific the jaw and eyes. Might been the smallest deer shot that year in our group, but the meat was like veal and the best meat I've ever ate from a deer. My father was just as proud of me at making a 200+yard heart shot on something that little. It was an easy drag job out of the woods. The warden said I did it a favor by shooting it, since it was wandering around alone it probably wouldn't have made the winter considering how small it was still in November.

Shot my first deer at the age of 15. I had I little bit of beginners luck. Shot a 130" ten pointer at sun rise thinking it was a doe.

I was 16, it took me 4 years of bow hunting and 5 years of gun hunting to finally cash in. Man it seems like yesterday, but it has been 17 years since I took my first. I've been able to harvest at least 1 to 2 a year since then.

My first year bow hunting. I am in my late 40's. I was taught by my 16 year old son who started when he was 7 years old on his own. He's got no less than 5 per year since and I got my three this year but they were all does, since those are what I like for meat.
