How old were you when you started?
 

I'm 17 right now, and a lot of my friends are just recently getting into deer hunting. My dad started to take me out to the stand with him when I was 2 years old, and just try and teach me to be quiet and watch and listen. I killed my first deer when I was 7.

22.... this was my first real season :)

i've been small game hunting since the beginning of time, though...

RE: How old were you when you started?
 

I started hunting when the Grandparents bought me my first air rifle when I was six. Our state required that you be 12 years old for your first deer permit. My dad was a work-a-holic and seldom hunted but Uncles and older cousins got me started early. Thios year ,with my broken foot, was the first deer season that I missed in 50 years.

I think my dad had me in the woods before I could walk.. but I started Deer huntin' when I was 8. Killed my first deer at 10

RE: How old were you when you started?
 

I was walking with my dad at 8, hunting with a gun by myself at 12, first deer at 13, bowhunting at 14.

I was tagging along so far back I can't remember, and hunting on my own at age 12. I'm 32 now.

I went on my first deer hunt the day after my 40th birthday.

RE: How old were you when you started?
 

Had a BB gun in my hand at 5, can remember I had a funny way of loading it. I would put the end of the barrel on my foot or a rock and with both hands push down on the lever to get it cocked. As time went on it got easier. I started into big game at 16. Still love hunting but Iam very fussy in what I shoot now. Heck squezze the trigger the work begins:D

12 i shot my first deer.

RE: How old were you when you started?
 

I got a really old Daisy BB gun from my uncle when I was around 5 I think. I wasn't allowed to have BB's for it for a couple years, so I took the cap off of the end of the barrel. Took the inner barrel out which allowed the air to be released into the outside barrel that was about the sized of a 12 gauge. I'd take plastic chess pieces or anything small and light and drop them down the barrel. they'd come out pretty good but not accurate after a couple feet. Couldn't hurt anything either. Still fun to shot my older sister with though.

i was 12 when i first went out

RE: How old were you when you started?
 

I took my first deer with a bow at age eleven (1981) for you math experts.

Ohio raised here too!
Went out with dad for the first time when I was 8, passed hunter's safety a year later and got my shotgun for X-mas. He made me prove I was safe with squirrel and rabbit hunting with my 1 bullet in the gun (Barney Fife style) before I was allowed to bring my shotgun out and sit with him deer hunting for a year (we didn't see any that year). The following year, I got my own spot in the woods and dropped my first deer, a small doe at age 12 on jy first opening morning.

Got my first bb gun and started plinking around with it at 7.

RE: How old were you when you started?
 

I was 10 when I started, got my first buck at 15 an 8 point, its in my photo gallery the was 1979.

RE: How old were you when you started?
 

I first started hunting when I was 10. Went for squirrels with my dad. Got my first deer at 12, that is the legal age in MN for deer.

RE: How old were you when you started?

RE: How old were you when you started?
 

Ive shot many things with bb and pellet guns through the years and thought it would be easy enough getting a deer when i was 25....nedless to say I came up empty handed. Ididnt know what the hunting really meant until this past year when I actually put forth the effort to watch tracks, make food plots, look for hunting areas, game trails, etc. So I would have to say that I was 26 when i first started hunting.

RE: How old were you when you started?
 

not sure at what age i started going with my dad, but i know i was 10 when i started shooting grouse with him, and been hunting ever since, i am now 29. i would have to assume i started going along for the ride with him when i was probably 5.

RE: How old were you when you started?
 

My first hunt when i was 5 my dad told me to be quite and dont move.He killed one that day it was a small 6point.I killed my first when i was 10 years old.I dont know about you good folks but I thank god i was born a country boy and have a dad a family who love to hunt.And taught me from an early age respect the animal your hunting and respect the art of hunting yall know what im trying to say I hope.Just a good ole boy form texas living the simplemans life.

James, you could be my Grandfather! You Old Fossil!!!!:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

RE: How old were you when you started?
 

Out in the woods since you were 2? I'm taking a wild guess and saying that at the Age 2 years old you were not out hunting. And if your dad was bringing you into the woods while he was hunting when you were 2 years old something definitely is not right in his head.

RE: How old were you when you started?
 

I started deer hunting when I was around 8 years old with my dad. Killed my first buck when I was 9, 147 pound 8 ponter and still have the mount. Oh, I'm 58 years old now, so it has been awhile

RE: How old were you when you started?
 

I've been in the woods since before kindergarden, but we're not allowed to hunt in wisconsin until we're 12, although i remember many times when dad would hand the gun over for a shot on squirrels and rabbits and other small game...he even let me shoot a doe for him when i was 11

RE: How old were you when you started?
 

Well, my father bought me a J.C. Higgins Mod.51-.30-06 (FN Action)at Sears & Roebuck in 1952 when I turned 13 and took my first Doethat season.
