Season of Firsts!
 
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???

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.
