Pig: These were my second and third deer after many many misses. The ten has a perfect rack. The funny thing is that the spike and ten weighed almost the same.

It was Thanksgiving Day back in the early 90’s. My girlfriend and Ihad finished dinner andwere just kicking backwatching TV. I had a lock on tree stand in a tree just down the road. I looked at my girlfriend and said “I think I’m going to go hop in that tree stand for the last couple hours of daylight.

I went there and jumped up a group of does, then after getting settled in I grunted and they came right back into my area. I clipped the lead doe’s left lung at 12 yards with an XI Impact, Easton Gamegetter aluminum arrow with a muzzy broadhead.

I called my buddy and asked him to come help me out since I had never killed a deer before and he basically lent me his knife and told me to learn how to gut a deer you should do it yourself. Man, that gut sac smelled terrible when I accidentally cut into it. He told me to watch out for it, but I got careless.

One of the most exciting days of my life and one of the best Thanksgivings!!

My first bow kill was in 1997, with a PSE Lightning Flite II, xx75 arrows and a satellite broadhead. It was a 4 pointer and I shot him 25 yards uphill. He ran about 20 yards and crashed. I will never forget that day.

I had one of the first compounds ever built for a youth. It was a prototype built by Pearson Archery. Dick Tone delivered it to my dads house whenhe came for a visit some 25 years ago. I missed my first whitetail with it. A doe came in and let me shoot at her 5 times. I ran out of arrows and had to watch her the rest of the evening feeding less than 15 yards. I was hooked on bowhunting from that point on. The next compound I owned was a Hoyt. I don't remember the model but it was before they were very popular. The bow shot great though and I got my first deer with it. I have shot Hoyt bows ever since.

American, all wood laminated, baught it in 87' Light as a feather and still have it . My son is gonna shoot it as soon as he is able to pull it back!
O, life time warrenty,don't know if there still in buisness but I don't think I'll have to hold them to it!! Killed 3 deer w/ that bow. lost interest for a few years, build up of excess testosterone I guess, soon after I got married those levels fell back to manageable levels.

My first bow kill came with my first bow, a 1983 PSE Vulcan. I think the first bow kill was a button buck. I took a ten point buck with it in 1992, then the buck that is my avatar in 2005. Early spring 2006 I bought a used Mathews Legacy and retired the Vulcan.:D
