Mine was a large doe shot at 100 plus yards with a Savage model 99a in .243 right through the heart. Can ya tell I remember it like yesterday. I can still see the huge smile on my dads face.

RE: What was your first deer???
Well... no option for me. I shot a HUGE buck, probably weighed in around 200 lbs or so, and it had no antlers. LOL It had a funky looking lump of hardened mass at the base of his head, where his antlers USED to be, but he had done something apparently when they were in velvet, or maybe had an injury that prevented them from developing properly. He had ONE point coming up from the base of his head, which we were told and had assumed was an extra point coming out (not a browtine). The deer was huge and far outweighed the nice 9pt my husband took a couple of years prior.
My second deer was a 7pt., and my third deer was a button buck.
Still waiting on my 4th, hopefully will fill that tag tomorrow morning.

Shot a 6pt years ago with a Mossberg 20ga. slug. He was coming down a hill towards me and turned broadside at about 40 yds. I shot and he rolled down the hill. I was shaking like a leaf. Waited about 10 minutes and started to get up and go after him. The little bugger jumped straight up and looked at me. I unloaded one more round into him and he ran about 20 yds and dropped. When I got to him I had found out that I had grazed him across the spine with the first shot and temporarily paralyzed him. Craziest thing I thought.I thought he wasdead from the first shot and just shocked the crap out of me when he jumped up and looked at me. Never forget that first deer!

RE: What was your first deer???
My first ever deer came when I was 15, a doe I shot with a 30.06. My first buck was at 17 with a .30-30, a 3 pt.
My first "recovered" deer with a bow was a doe at age 22 and my first buck at age 25, a 4 point seen here with a Jennings Carbon Extreme XLR.
A much younger Rob/PA...lol Notice, no grey in the whiskers..
