Well I thought I'd share my story here too. I have been deer hunting for about 15 years or so. I started hunting with my dad when I was about 11 or 12 but never got a deer until I was about 21.Back then I only hunted for the 2 week shotgun season and I didn't see too many deer, partly because I only hunted the weekend and didn't put too much time into it. I got my first buck when I was 21 (a7 pointer). It wasn't real big but it was the first deer I had ever had a chance to shoot at so I was so excited to get my first deer. Two years later I got into bow hunting so I would be able to hunt longer and that year I got my first deer w/ a bow. It too was small (5 pointer) but hey it was my first bow kill!!! After those I got a decent 8 pointer and had it mounted because it was my biggest buckto date. Since then I have been focusing on quality deer management. I plan on taking more does to control the herd (there's tons of them on our land) and only take bucks that are at least 3 years old or older. Sorry about the bad pics. I had to take a picture of old pics with my digital cam, didn't have a digital cam backthen!

Sorry I dont know what happend to the pics???

Here's my first buck I was talking about.

And this was my firs bow kill.

Me & my teen girls with a Big Fat Iowa Doe
25 yd shot, double lung with 3 Blade Rocky Mountain Ironhead. Went about 80 yds straight down the bluff (like a cliff). Daughter in Camo was with-1st time she saw something killed. She was "shaking" like she shot it. It was hilarious.
Hope everyone has a great Turkey day. Haven't had a Buck close enough for a shot (except spikes n forkeys) but 3 different Biggies have "ALMOST' made a mistake...
