RE: how long did it take
rifle i killed my first the last day of our 2 week season my first year...
bow, i killed my 2nd season...
flintlock? i lost track...but got my first kill last year(deer kill atleast) its been 5-6 years hunting with that thing...i was beginning to think it was cursed...just never happend right...admittedly missed a pile with it because i keep picking my head up...took a while to realize that....id come home every day and shoot a can at ranges FARTHER than i missed deer and nail it pretty much every time. i couldnt figure it out till i felt myself lifting my head....trying to beat the smoke cloud and watch the deer i guess...
dont worry about killing a deer...it will come. if you worry about it and try to make it happen, its gunna be a long frustrating ride....sit back and enjoy it...when it happens it happens....believe me, the time adding upto it makes it all the more sweeter...took me 5 years to kill a dang turkey....boy that was an awesome feeling carrying that longbeard home....
