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.

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!

Took me until my this year, my second year. It took me one hour into the season to get mine in my second year.

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.:)

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.

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.
