Mine was a monster button buck with my bow!!!!! I was so proud!! The deer dropped 30 yards from my tree, I called my dad while still in my tree, while telling him the story a huge 8 pointer comes over the ridge and starts smelling my deer that was down! I'll never forget that! Sure do miss you Dad!:)

Greg I agree with Rob...respect! After reading your post on you clothes and set up I thought I would elaberate on my first last Oct. I don't have a lot of money to spend on my hunting stuff so I bought a $100 Fred Bear bow last Aug 2005 in a package on clearance. I bought 3 arrows at walmart and their cheapest grizzly broadheads. I practiced almost everyday for a month before the season opened. I used army fatigues from a friend who was out of the reserves and was going to get rid of them. My boots were $2.50 Gortex from a garage sale across the street. I had a $6 knife and orange tape for the blood trail. I couldn't afford a tree stand or have land to make one on so I used a fold out chair and hunted off a rock cliff to get some height and scent advantage. I called this little guy in my 2nd time ever bowhunting. He was a 6 pt when I shot him but one side of his rack broke when he jumped off a rock towards the river and died in mid-air and hit rack broke on the ground. I've shot deer with a gun but I'm most proud of this little guy because he was my first with a bow and I didn't have a lot of $ to start. Sorry for the novel, just wanted to share the experience!

My dad never hunted so in a lot of ways, I was on my own too.




I was on my own too thought im only 20 years old now i taght my self how to clean all my kills from ducks to deer. though im not the best at it i can still keep meat onmy deer. My dad never taght me, though he wanted to, because he was in prison until i was 13.He tells me almost every time i call him how proud i have made him with all i have accomplished.Anyways my first deer was a spike i was 16 hunting with my oldest brother

First bow kill was a 5 point buck with a Bear Whitetail II. I'll have to scan the pic sometime to post.

RE: HOW BIG WAS YOUR FIRST DEER
 

My first buck was an 8 pointer, 12 inch inside.

RE: HOW BIG WAS YOUR FIRST DEER
 

First was a spike back in 1974. No pictures.

In those days if we saw two bucks in a season, it was a good season.
