Im 12 and have been hunting for three years. How old were you when you started hunting??? :D

RE: your first time hunting
 

I was raised to hunt, I started killing things when I was 5 lol and never hunted legally with a gun until I was 14. Started bowhunting a month or so ago and im now 16.

RE: your first time hunting
 

I'm 14 and have been hunting since I was 7.

RE: your first time hunting
 

got my shotgun license at 14 and my bow license at about 25

RE: your first time hunting
 

I started hunting two years ago. I hunted only one day of that season with my 20 gauge. I wouldn't have shot a deer because I was not very accurate with my gun. I guess you could say that I was watching the deer, although I didn't see any. I started bowhunting last year.

RE: your first time hunting
 

I started hunting when I was about 8 at that time I was a bird dog for my father and grandfather, I started carrying a gun and buying tags when I was 12(legal age where I am) started bowhunting at about 13 or 14 that was about 12yrs ago. and have been hooked ever since. Got my first deer with my bow at about 2 seasons into it which was a doe(can still taste her tender backstrap to this day) it took me about 4 seasons before I got my first buck with my bow(what a feeling that was).

My mom and Dad divorced when I was 6, and until she re-married my "dad" ( I call him dad because to me he is, I have the utmost respect for him) I had no prior experience with a firearm. My first kill was the back window of his 1973 Bronco. Shot it dead center with a Red Ryder. No doubt. I was 9 at the time, been huntin ever since. I have, however, found that squirrels and quail taste much better than glass. :D

RE: your first time hunting
 

i started squirrel hunting when i was 9, took the hunter safety course when i was 12????, started turkey hunting and deer about the same time 12, but didn't seriously start with deer(scouting preparing and scents) until 15, now i have to start buying licenses and such at 16(my current age).

RE: your first time hunting
 

I started bowhunting when I was probably about 9. My parents thought i was kidding when i told them I was going hunting, but the cottontails probably didn't like it one bit. I've been hunting off and on since then, but seriously have started getting into it the last couple of years... I'm 44, lol. Not many deer to my name, a couple of turkeys, but I have a great time every time I get out.

RE: your first time hunting

RE: your first time hunting
 

I started hunting when I was about 4. I started carrying a gun while hunting (dove) when I was about 7.

RE: your first time hunting
 

I took the hunter's safety course at 12 and started hunting squirrels. I didn't hunt deer until I was 20 and got lucky with a 6 pointer my first year bowhunting. I have been hunting off and on ever since but have really gotten into to it the past 5 years. I'm 39 now but sometimes I feel like I'm 60. :D

Hi AllyKat!!

Glad to see you on here. You will get alot of great advice here. I am 34 yrs old and have been bowhunting since I was about 20. In case you haven't figured it out yet I am your Uncle Bubba.[:'(]

RE: your first time hunting
 

I started hunting around the age of 5 with my dad in S.C. bird hunting mostly. He had deer hunted when he was in his 20's but never really took me. At the age of 14 I shot my first deer which was a doe with a .270. I got into bowhunting when I was 17 and have never hunted deer with a gun since. I've shot 4 deer so far with a bow (2 bucks, 2 does) in the past 2 years. I'm now 22.

RE: your first time hunting
 

i was shooting rifles and bows ever since i could hold one. but i started hunting small game when i was 12 then i practiced shootin my bow for a year so i bow hunted when i was 13. im 14 and i was able to rifle hunt last season.

RE: your first time hunting
 

I'm 43. Started huntingwith guns last year. Bought a bow and will be using it this year. I never saw a gun (used for hunting)until I moved to West Virginia from Long Island.
Most kids here get thrir first gun before they get their first bike. I guess "when in Rome"

RE: your first time hunting
 

I can't remeber the first time that my dad took me hunting. The first time I actually harvested a deer I was 8. And I have been after them ever since!:D
Along with just about everything else I can get close to. I have been bowhunting since I was 12! Haven't harvested a deer or elk with a rifle since that special day I picked up a bow!

RE: your first time hunting
 

Nine years old when you started. What kind of training did you have before the first day? Mine was all on my own. No one in the family hunted. Been after something for as long as I can remember.
