1st buck with my pistol.

Before Illinois opened up the regular gun (shotgun and muzzle loader) season to include pistols I had to take anterless only deer in the late (mid January) firearm season because that was the only time you were allowed to use them.

RE: Season of Firsts!

First time in 51 years of Bowhunting I did not hunt in Nov. during the rut or basically any hunting atall.
Wife was critically ill starting Sept. & is still battling a bone infection from a back operation & very ill.
No Bowhunting is a small price to pay for her to get well.
I hope everyone gets a 1st in 2008. Good Luck to all.

First mature buck from from the ground. Talk about a rush, I want to hunt from the ground more often from now on.

ORIGINAL: BowHuntingFool

Well this year was a "season of firsts" for me so to speak! I had a great year!

1st opening day kill
1st buck I ever killed, 7 pointer with rifle.
1st deer killed off my property in Michigan.
1st Michigan deer I have ever killed.
1st deer killed with snow on the ground, young Doe
1st late season deer, young Doe
1st deer I have ever processed myself, young Doe..... I processed this Doe yesterday and was surprised how easy it is to do. I will be doing this from now on unless time is an issue due to unexpected early season heat!

Did anyone have any firsts this season???
