I can always remember wanting to deer hunt but we always lived in the city..We moved couple years ago and my first i shot was when i was 15.,My cuz however shot a deer when he was 12(A 6 point no less)..kinda brags about it...How old were you?
 
16....

button-buck on a dead run at about 15 feet. 12ga, pulled the trigger with the stock about 3 inches from my shoulder. You don't make that mistake twice. Got him though.
 
call it lack of effort or lack or opportunities. I'm 29 and hoping to kill my first deer this year.
 
I was 15. My first deer kill was with a bow (PSE Fireflight 3D, Easton arrows, and Thunderhead Broadheads). It was a yearling doe. I thought it was a good sized deer. I killed on the Saturday before Veterans day. Dad went a climbed up in my stand that Monday (Veteran's Day) and killed a P&Y 8 point. When we hung the buck up next to mine in the tree, mine looked so small.
 
22 years old in 1985, that year my first son was born and the Chicago Bears would win the Super Bowl. I jumped a 6 pt.,as he ran toward a buddy of mine, I let out a holler, that deer turned on a dime and came at me full steam, The first shot didn't hit him but my second did, at about 8 ft, 12guage slug Smith and Wesson Model 1000. That's the only animal I hit with that shotgun, I traded it for my oldest boy's Rem. 700 3006.:D


Those were the days!:cool:
 
In 1973, I was 9. I killed a small buck with a Savage 99 in .300 Savage, it had a 2-7 Redfield Widefield on it. My Dad was there with me, he said he could hear my heart pounding before I shot. :)
 
19 with a mossburge 12 gauge shooting 3.5 inch 00 buck. late season. Buck had knocked off its antlers already. He was running (after being pushed) across in front of me at about 15 yards. Turned out he had been hit by a car. He was running pretty fast but probably would not have made the winter. No meat but he didn't suffer any more. I didn't know that when I shot him but felt glad after that he didn't have to suffer.
 
11, I shot two small does on my first hunting trip in North Carolina with a Ruger .243. Best part was it was all on film!
 
Some where about 8 or 9, shot it with my grandfathers single barreled 16 gage. That was a long time ago, still got the gun but ate the deer.
