Make your first shot count, it might be the only one you get.

I first hunted deer when I was 15 or 16.  I shot my first deer with a rifle at age 26.  Thirty one years later I shot my first deer with a bow.

Shot my first deer when I was 12 with a 20g.  I can still remember it like it was yesterday.

Didn't start deer hunting tell I was 18. Thats when I shot a doe with my Marlin 36" barrel bolt action goose gun. 150 yards one shot. Took the deer home to my first wife and she didn't do a very good job of cooking it. Didn't go again for about 10 years. That's  when I went up north with the step dad and shot a 4 pointer with a 30-30 marlin.  Been hunting deer ever since. When I was about 42 I started bow hunting. 2 years later I shot a doe. The next year I shot an 8 pointer. Ever since then I've waited for the big guy.

I shot a doe with a shotgun when I was 17, shot a buck with a rifle the next year and haven't used a firearm for deer since.

12 years old 30-40 Craig bought a bow when I was 22 didn't hunt with it until I was 26 and shot a doe and a buck the same year. I have shot a deer or 2 every year but a few with my rifle between the ages of 12 - 26 and only the bigger ones get a rise out of the old blood pumper...and that don't happen too often, but when I am in the stand with the bow.....any deer I see gives me that rush! Anyone who hasn’t tried it, you’re missing out!

I was 20 or 21 when I started bow hunting. Shot one a year later.

I shot a doe with a muzzleloader as my first gun deer at the age of 31.

First one at 12 years old with a 20 ga. Winchester. Decent 10 point. Remember it like yesterday. First bow kill about 18 years ago. First with a smokepole about 10 years ago. First with a rifle about 5 or 6 years ago out west.
