On a side note I would not call it how long I waited, but rather how long it took for a deer to stop in range. I had no plans to wait on anything or let anything go...any deer in range was going to get an arrow loosed.

I Bowhunted for deer my 1st time in 1956-in 1958 I took my 1st deer (a yearling Doe) & have Bowhunted Biggame ever since-this is the start of my 52nd year-I just turned 67 & I took a Whitetail doe day b/4 Thanksging which is my umteeeeethhhh Deer.I have been blessed with a great family/kids & Bowhunts that many only dream of.
Ihave never purchased a biggame gun tag but see nothing wrong with those who choose that sport..

I guess two years..........It took me an entire season to get up in a tree and decide that my chances were better there than sitting, and stalking sandhills. About 3 days , first time in a treestand, I miss a doe at 35 yrds, first deer I ever shot at with my bow 30 min later a little 6 comes out on same trail, put it to him and watched him crash, an experience I will never forget.

I hunted about 30 times my first season (2005) and finally decided to take a shot (though it was ill-advised) on the closer, that season. I missed.

Sept. 30th of 2006 I took my next shot. I took this guy home with that shot.

I think I started bowhunting in 2000. I killed my first deer with a bow, a 7 point buck in 2002...so 3 seasons.
