I started hunting around the age of 5 with my dad in S.C. bird hunting mostly. He had deer hunted when he was in his 20's but never really took me. At the age of 14 I shot my first deer which was a doe with a .270. I got into bowhunting when I was 17 and have never hunted deer with a gun since. I've shot 4 deer so far with a bow (2 bucks, 2 does) in the past 2 years. I'm now 22.
