what was your first deer with a bow

RE: what was your first deer with a bow
My first was a 9-point buck. I think he was a 2 year old. Second season, first day. He just waked out in front of me (I was on the ground). He was small, but I got him mounted because he was my first. And it took 6 years to get my second deer. I hunt only with a bow.

It was a buck, about a 150 lb 7 point. Opening day of the bow season half an hour into it. About 5:30 in the afternoon. I went right after work since the place I was hunting was on the way home and closer to work than home.
First time I had ever sat in a stand with a bow!
The guy that was teaching me to hunt was ribbing me at work the next day. He was telling people "Some people wait years to kill their first buck, this SOB goes out drops one half an hour into his first hunt! All I can say is he must have a good teacher"
I did the same thing during gun season the next year, first time with a gun (inline ML) I killed a nice 10 point from about 80 yards away off the ground. Actually it was the second day of the season though.

My first deer was a 147 lb doe in my 2nd year of hunting, 1993. I have killed many bucks and does since then. But I still remember everything about that hunt.
