8 pt. buck my first year of bowhunting....Oct. 17, 1977. I did hunt the gun season before, never shot anything. Fact: I have never killed a deer with a firearm. Bowhunting just rules.

First deer... 8 point shot in Dec. 1995. I was 12 at the time and had been hunting for a total of a whopping 30 minutes 
First bow kill was Oct. 1998. I was 15 and shot a doe off the ground. She walked into a clover field and gave me a 15 yard broadside shot, she went about 40 yards and fell!

The first deer I ever killed was with a shotgun in Southampton County, VA.... November 23, 1989...I was 6 years old. Big old doe too. 19 years ago now.
My first bow kill was in October of 2002 on Hope Plantation in Jacksonboro, SC. I was 19 years old. That was my first fall bowhunting... and was my first bow hunt.
So in answer to your ? Jeff about how long I hunted before killing my first deer with a bow.... about 90 minutes.

Got my first deer in November 1996 when I was just 6 years old. Shot the doe with a .22-250.
I was forunate to take my first deer with a bow, also a doe, in my first year of bowhunting. It did take me about 5 shots and misses before though
. Not on one deer mind you!

How many years did some of you guys go before you killed your first bow deer?
Just interested.
