Not top drag away from the site.... This is the link to the story... I don't want to have to rewrite it...

My son's 1st gun hunt in which he shot a doe and I shot a nice 10 point.
I was way more happy and excited for him and his deer than mine.

2nd would be Wis. gun hunt 2003.In the 1st 2 days I shot two 17 1/2" eight pointers with my grandpa's old 30-06 and a 20" 10 point with my pistol.

Mine would have to be my first bow kill with my mom !!! she has always taken me with her but i was to young to beable to kill one with my bow ! well last year i got me my first actual decent bow an she took me !! an well the magic happen here came a nice fat doe walkin down the trail at about 16 yards !! i busted her an well at that moment i thought i was king of the world !! I give all the credit to my mom who has been takin me an has gotten me in the great outdoors !!!

My first bow kill....



2007 doe.

Killing this guy on the mountaintops of Namibia was a top notch hunt!

My dad and I were running and gunning for turkeys a few years ago... He had made a homemade box call and got a gobbler to answer it... He dropped back and I snuck forward.. No blind or anything, but the bird came in to about 13 yards and I hit it perfect with a muzzy 3 blade, and he dropped straight down. My first adult Tom with a bow... 24 lbs, double beard (10 1/2", 7 3/4") and 1 1/4" spurs... All called in with a homemade box call. It was also the first bird my Dad had called in for me.

Ok earlier in this thread I said my best is yet to come with my 2 sons but I do have one that sticks out that actually did not involve the hunt but we were on ourdeer hunting vacation.
It was myself, father and his best friend at a hotel in Antigo, WI and it was the 9 day Wisconsin gun deer hunt.
We have this coffee pot that automatically starts at 4 AM. Well my father decided that he was going to play a trick on his buddy and set the coffee maker for 2:30 AM. Well 2:30 rolls around and that coffee maker kicks in and dads buddy jumps up and starts getting his cloths ready and jumps in the shower. It is nice and quiet and dads buddy comes out pours a cup sits on his bed takes a sip and all of a sudden you hear Son Of A Bitch!
Me and my dad on key start laughing so damn hard I had tears. Needless to say we all ended up just staying awake but it was good and well worth it. Now dad and his best friend as of this year are on the big hunt in the heavens.

Peace

My best hunt to date was watching my dad's '05 opening weekend buck expire in front of me...

I had been watching a couple of does milling around my stand for the first 15 minutes of shooting light when I pick up a deer moving from my right. I quickly realize it is a shooter buck and he is closing quickly.

In one motion I stand and begin to draw... He's at 25 yds quartering towards me, I'm waiting for him to give me a better shot... He's now at 20yds...

Wait... Did he just do what I think he just did???

Yep... the buck just pile drived head first into the ground and paused there for a second, and then ploped over dead as a doornail.

At this point I'm stillatfulldraw, unable to believe what just happened. I give my dad a call and it turns out he had shot the buck about 150 yds away in his tree. My heart was pounding as if I had shot the buck himself.

To this date that is the most exciting hunt I have ever been on.

Great stories guys. I'll add mine as well. This would be my Halloween hunt this past year. Here is the link to the full story and pictures.
