RE: How long did you wait?
 

I took my first on my 3rd hunt.

RE: how long did you wait?
 

My 2nd year of bow hunting I shot my 1st deer (13 years old). I didn't go out much my 1st year.

RE: How long did you wait?
 

I killed a fawn my first year.

RE: How long did you wait?
 

I killed a doe the first year I went out.

RE: How long did you wait?
 

I've been bowhunting for about 4 years. I just started doing it seriously this year though, and have killed one.

RE: How long did you wait?
 

second year i got a button buck

RE: How long did you wait?
 

I shot one the second year I bowhunted. A big doe.

RE: How long did you wait?
 

about a week.

RE: How long did you wait?
 

15 minutes 2.5 year old 8 pointer [8D]. I later discovered it really isn't that easy.

RE: How long did you wait?
 

3rd day 4th hunt. Saturday nothing, Sunday morning nothing, after school on a tuesday right before dark smoked a 7pt...14 years old.

RE: How long did you wait?
 

On a side note I would not call it how long I waited, but rather how long it took for a deer to stop in range. I had no plans to wait on anything or let anything go...any deer in range was going to get an arrow loosed.:D

RE: How long did you wait?
 

First year, when I was 16, I shot a doe.

RE: How long did you wait?
 

I Bowhunted for deer my 1st time in 1956-in 1958 I took my 1st deer (a yearling Doe) & have Bowhunted Biggame ever since-this is the start of my 52nd year-I just turned 67 & I took a Whitetail doe day b/4 Thanksging which is my umteeeeethhhh Deer.I have been blessed with a great family/kids & Bowhunts that many only dream of.
Ihave never purchased a biggame gun tag but see nothing wrong with those who choose that sport..

RE: How long did you wait?
 

I guess two years..........It took me an entire season to get up in a tree and decide that my chances were better there than sitting, and stalking sandhills. About 3 days , first time in a treestand, I miss a doe at 35 yrds, first deer I ever shot at with my bow 30 min later a little 6 comes out on same trail, put it to him and watched him crash, an experience I will never forget.

RE: How long did you wait?
 

I hunted about 30 times my first season (2005) and finally decided to take a shot (though it was ill-advised) on the closer, that season. I missed.

Sept. 30th of 2006 I took my next shot. I took this guy home with that shot.

I think I started bowhunting in 2000. I killed my first deer with a bow, a 7 point buck in 2002...so 3 seasons.

RE: How long did you wait?
 

1 month

RE: How long did you wait?
 

I was lucky enough to only have to wait two weeks from the first time I went till the first time I was able to take a 4.5 yr old doe. Now, from the time I bought my first bow it was several months as I didn't feel it was ethical to buy a bow one day and head into the woods the next. :)

RE: How long did you wait?
 

I waited 3 months.

My first bow kill, oddly enough, was a Caribou in Quebec Canada.:)

RE: How long did you wait?
 

My first year of bowhunting (this year) I killed a doe on the 11th day of the season, eighth sit.. Since then, Ive had some awesome encounters, and passed some young bucks,but I'm still waiting for a buck I'd be proud of.

(My brother killed a doe on his first bowhunt ever, after sitting in stand for 20 minutes) Lucky punk:D.. I guess it just works out that way for some people sometimes.

RE: How long did you wait?

RE: How long did you wait?
 

my second year bowhunting (this year) after probaly a combined 70 hunts I scored on this guy

RE: How long did you wait?
 

It took me litterly 5 years. Bowhunting wasn't that hot in the late 70's early 80's. So we or I didn't hit it very hard. More like screwing around mostly.

RE: How long did you wait?
 

Tooktwodoes my firsy season. Killedmy first P&Y,my 3rdseason.

RE: How long did you wait?
 

Wow, I guess I'll take home the trophy. It took me 10 years to get my first bowkill. :(I started in 1987 (was in jr high) and then got into cars, girls, etc. I still got a permit and hunted some, but didnt start bowhunting seriously until 1995. Killed my first in 1997, stacked them up ever since then.;)

RE: How long did you wait?
 

I killed a doe on my very first bowhunt.

20 minutes in. :)

RE: How long did you wait?
 

2 years and counting...mabey ill hunt the deer and not the girls next year.
