My first buck came at 8am the very first morning I sat out with a Bow. that was some 14 yrs ago I guess. small 4 or 6 point, can't remember, but a small deer, I was young, and just wanted a kill. I Was not concerned about QDM, and nor was anyone else in the area I was hunting.

Up until this year, that was the only buck or animal I've taken with a bow, simply because when hunting in Quebec, once your Tag was gone, your done. And while I enjoy bow hunting, I love to hunt in November, so I put the bow down for a few years. I did hunt Moose with the bow, but never connected.

I recently picked it back up, because I can now tag 2 deer a year, or more with party hunting in Ontario, and I also have the option to Hunt in another Province in November with the Gun, so I now don't mind taking a deer early in the year, it doesn't mean that all my hunting is over.
