First ever was a button buck in 1997 with one 20 gauge shotgun slug to the heart. First bow deer was in 00 - a doe in youth season at 18 yards that fell after trotting out to about 40. First deer seen bowhunting - not to mention first ever drawing on an animal and first ever shot - it ruined me for about 2 years as I thought bowhunting was a peice of cake and I got lazy. It only took about 345,328 screw-ups in the next couple seasons for me to know better and really start having fun.
