My first archery hunt (My 12th birthday...first hunt ever): 2000
My first archery shot (didn't follow through and watched the arrow go over the does back): 2002
My first archery kill (rabbit at 20yds): 2002
My first archery deer (also my first archery buck and first buck ever): 2004
My first(only)wounded deer: 2005....not a proud milestone, but one I remember
My first difficult tracking job: 2006.....finding that doeis probably my proudest moment ever
My first NR hunt (in NH while at college): 2007


There are others, but those are the big ones. Almost every hunt has a special moment within it. I hope I have many more to come....
