RE: How long

RE: How long
 

Took till the first 45 min of my second year. It was a lucky shot i think though...

RE: How long
 

I killed my first one, a doe, my first bow season. I think there are varying factors to how long it will take once you start bowhunting - how much you practice, how much time you spend in the field,how much you try to learn about bowhunting including low/high percentage shots and what to do after the shot, deer population of areas you hunt to name a few, and of course luck doesn't hurt.

Opening weekend of my first year. He was a mighty tastie spike.

my second bow season

RE: How long
 

First Bow season right before the start of the second firearm season here in Illinois,, missed at three big doe thoughout the season and had a string loop come untied while drawing on a doe, then i turn around and shot a button buck at 10yrds, so all in all my bad season turned out to be a good one.

it was opening morning of my third year , then the flood gates opened and i harvested 7 that year

1st season about the middle of November during a steady rain. It was a young button that I mistook for a doe.

I got lucky and had a 4-point and two does come into range the afternoon of opening day bow this past season (which was my first). The 4 gave me such a perfect shot that I couldn't resist and took it with a lung/liver pass through at about 20 yards. I was feeling good until I missed a doe 3 times in a row about 2 weeks after that.

It took me the second week of my second season. My first season I passed up multiple doe wanting a buck. Then my father-in-law talked me into shooting a doe because 'it will be the best practice you can get for when a nice buck does come along', so I did and she only went about 30 yards.

About 20 years or more!

Sevenyears ago when I was twelve...it was my first season, second week into archery season and I hunted with my dad. It is a hunt that i will never forget. I shot a doe and tracked it for 70 yards. Good times

The evening of opening day during my third year of bowhunting is when I had my first oppertunity to harvest adoe, but I missed her at 20 yds. I didn't follow through and I shot right over her back. Since that day, my pre-shot motto includes the phrase, "Follow Through".

I passed on a small doe the next year, my only chance of the year, so I didn't get anything that year either.

Finally on the second day of my fifth year hunting, I got a solid oppertunity. Thethree point came up from a river bottom at 15 yds, and I plugged one through him. That was my first archery deer and first buck ever. Not a bad way to start off my archery hunting career.

Till my third year. I thought Id never get one.

RE: How long
 

2nd night of opening weekend in my 1st year. I started late and was 23 when I picked my 1st bow. Shot a doe from a groundblind, have been hooked ever since.

Yepper know the feeling, though I would rather be out for turkeys, can't wait till I can get one again. I think everyone has it figured climb a tree, shoot a deer and get down. Not that easy. Now if I could just get a buck to cooperate!

RE: How long
 

Ive been bow hunting for three years now and it took me till last year to shoot a buck

RE: How long
