I firmly believe a 1st timer should shoot pretty much anything. Small buck, small doe, doens't matter. Then if you want to get picky, that's fine. Deer under your belt will do wonders for confidence and learning.
Great point, if you wait you will eventually have a big boy under you and you will have no clue, get some deer under you belt so when the big boy shows up you will be a little calmer.
