My first bow kill was a sparrow with my first bow. Age 3 in 1955.

Still haven't gotten my first griz, moose, caribou... There are still a lot of firsts left to go on my 'want to' list... If I can live long enough. ;)

My only first with the bow isa rabbit. All others were by gun. Unless we count carp, as my first carp "caught" was by bow.

I took my first nutria rat with a bow at about 16. :D

They are a nuisance down here (tear up levees and now you get paid to kill them in Louisiana).
They would all come to this one spot in a neighborhood pond at my buddy's house. We had
gotten in trouble for using a 22 in the neighborhood (with good reason), so we decided to shoot
them out of a second floor window with my bow. It was a blast, got about 6. They didn't know
what was going on due to the method utilized.

All other firsts were by gun.

I don't think I have any firsts with my bow. I didn't get into bowhunting until a few years ago.

Now I'm gonna have to go outside and take a dog or something.;) ....J/K

I've only ever taken 1 elk (bull) and 1 bear (black) and they were with a bow.

All my other animals fell to guns before bow and now I'm exclusively bow except for an occassional shotgun turkey. Although I've taken other turkeys prior I did take my first turkeys with my bow in KS this past spring.
