RE: what did you kill your first deer with?
It was two years ago and I'll never forget it. I was 26 and am now hooked for life. Sitting in a tree stand in W Central MN snowing to beat hell and waiting and waiting. Finally broke a golden rule and lit up a ciggy. Wouldn't you know it a doe jumps the fence from the field right into the woods where I was at. Coming straight at me about 80-90 yds in front of me. Threw the cig in my mouth released the saftey, she ran up to 30 yds directly at 12:00 then broke to my left and gave me a beautiful broadside at about 20-30 yds. What a RUSH>
Ohh by the way I was using a WIN .308 w/165 grain and a leopold .3/4-5 x variable scope.

Remington 1100, 12 ga. (inherited from grandfather). Third day of the season, ground hunting on a very, very cold morning, four years ago. At about 8:20 AM, a 6-point and a doe stopped in front of me to graze at about 60 yds.
i took a neck shot on the buck using the iron sights. The air was so cold that the vapor from the shot lasted a good 2-3 seconds. When I could see down range, I saw the doe standing there, looking around. I thought the buck had run off. I was half way to her before the doe finally ran, and I saw the buck laying there. I could have had two if I'd had a DMP that year.

My first deer was a button buck taken with a mossburg 12 ga. Half a dozen years and numerous other buttons and does later, I took up bowhunting and learned how to kill bucks also.
I took 3 bucks with a bow before I ever got one with my shotgun.
