How long before your first deer?
I was just wondering how many years it took everyone to get their first deer, or how many years you have been hunting and have yet to get one.

RE: How long before your first deer?
You'll hate me for this, but it took me 6 hours of hunting to kill my first deer. A nice 6 point.
A buddy just shot a doe last week, his first deer. Hes been hunting most of 15 years!

Probably 2 yrs...of course alot of that was in the old days before camo came along. But back then I was never really serious about hunting or knew much about it. I didn't start hunting seriously until 1996 and it took me 2 months to get my first deer. It was a doe and I was damn proud of her too.

RE: How long before your first deer?
Went hunting for 1st time when I was 19. My buddy put me on a layed over try on the edge of some woods near a field. Probably just to keep me away from him and the others. 20 min. later a 190 pound wide 7 pointer walked out right in front of me and BOOM! I shot him 4 times with a borrowed 20 gauge. He's on my wall and I will never forget that day.

I got a doe the first morning of my first year(12 years old) of a 3 day hunt up north with a 308. On day number 3 I shot my first buck a basket rack 4 x 3.

RE: How long before your first deer?
I shot my first deer my first time out hunting for anything. Was in the stand at about 3:00am (way too excited and way too early!) and slipped an arrow through an 8 point buck at 20 yards at exactly 7:00am. He fell right where I shot him.
