A bowie knife.
I came home from overseas and bought my first bow in 2009. I was also shopping for a Jeep. That same day I went hunting for the first time with my brother-in-law and near dark I had a phone call from the dealership. I had to pee so I went ahead and got down from the stand. While peeing and talking on the phone, 5 bucks walk up. I threw the phone, picked up my bow, and shot a 6 pointer in the now dark. It fell right where it stood and I though that meant I did the right thing. About 10 minutes later when my BIL came to my area, the buck got up and headed straight for the huge drop-off of a holler.
All 3 of us wrestled down that hill for about 10 minutes until my BIL finally got a good hold on him and I ended the suffering with his knife.
Noone ever believes it, but that was my first hunt. The next 2 times I went I also harvested nice deer. Since, I haven't got a deer in 4+ years.

With a 12 gauge shotgun with double 0 buckshot in GA. Little basket rack 5 point. The funny thing was when my brother threw him over his shoulder crap flowed out of where one of the pellets went in the gut and all over his shoulder...haha

I hunted for 10 years without being successful. Took my first deer at dusk with a Horton Steel Force crossbow. The shot was about 30 yds, downhill in the last moments of visibility. Scrawny Doe ran about 100 yds before she tumbled up. I will always remember that hunt.
