Very first (and second) were with an old 40 lb Bear recurve. Both 8 pointers. First rifle kill was with a Savage 110 LH in .243. Boy I miss that old rifle. That rifle could shoot the gnats off a flys butt at 100 yds. But, being young and stupid, I traded it for something else. Don't remember what.

A slug gun (Remington 870 Express,grooved barrel) ,that's all i could afford at that time till i got my ".270",,took a Blacktail button horn on first shot, felled it over with that Remington slugger.

12 gauge DB, 000 buck shot, Doe, 40 years ago Best deer I ever shot. Much more exciting than a recent 10 point/142 B&C. Same thought for the other post about should a 12 year old shoot a 3" spike. Go for it it will still be his best deer.

First deer was taken in 1971 with a 7 X 57 Steyr Mannlicher bolt using express iron sights at 70 yards....way back when I could see well enough to use iron sights!
Still seems like yesterday though...I can remember the details clearly.

RE: what did you kill your first deer with?
 
First deer was with a Browning BAR in .30-06, big 4 pointer that would have been a monster if I had known better then. The rack is bigger than my 8 pointer I shot ;)

PoBoyHunter 10-12-2004 09:13 PM

RE: what did you kill your first deer with?
 
Two years ago, with .270 and core-Loks I dropped a doe with a shot to the spine then the next day dropped a very small six point (almost a spike) (very wierd) with the exact same shot to the spine. All the guys at the camp call me the cyropractor (cant spell):D I was 13.

:D Last season I dropped an 8-point with 19 3/4 in spread, 9 and 10in G2's 7 and 6in G3s,scored 137 B&C :D
Looking forward to my 3rd and most definately not last deer season:D

I went to gut him. Grabbed one leg and the other hit me in the head. I ran about 50 yds thinkin the deer was after me. I was about 12 years old.

30-30 great shooting little gun. I bet I'm not the only one to use a 30-30 on my first deer. Still a great gun for kids. Just thinking about it makes me want to pull it out and hunt. with it. Hard to put down my 7mm mag though.

RE: what did you kill your first deer with?
 
I dropped a nice 8 point in his tracks with a Remington 1100 .20 with Federal Slugs...I sure was happy:)
