1st year bowhunting i killed two with my bow, nothing big a 2x1 and a 2x2. this was 3 years ago. last year i did not take a deer with my bow. this year i took a 3x3 (western standards) with my bow.
IMO if you want to wait that is your right, however on the smaller deer and young bucks i would practice drawing back on them and holding as if you were going to shoot..this will help your nerves....because when the time comes you will get nervous
