Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Deer Hunting Pics of your FIRST deer EVER..........

Longbeardking:

I killed my first deer over fifty years ago and no one in my family owned a camera. But here's a photo of my son's first deer taken twenty years ago.



The rifle is a Winchester model 70 Featherweight, 30-06 shooting Sierra Game King 150 grain BTSP. We still own that rifle and it has done the job many times over the years.

Here is my first deer. I shot it in 2005 with my Model 7 .243 win, and my first ever handload (I4350 and an 85 Nosler Partition). My grandpa rattle the buck up out of an old grown over cut in NE Washington and I shot him in the neck at 50 yards. He is still my best buck to date.

Heres mine,2003,I was 15.Did it 100% on my own.Worked the summer prior saving money to buy the 30-30 I killed it with,and I gutted,and drug it out myself.It was definatly a learning experience..Also with my first truck too.

Doesn't get any better than that, now does it???? Congratulations. I hope you're still a hunter.

My first came in 1999, the year after I graduated college and started hunting. Never even thought about it until I got married and my wife bought me a lifetime hunting license as a wedding gift.

I had went out the evening before with my wife's sister's boy friend, now husband, and set on top of a old hay swather. We watched several dear come up off the river and up to the wheatfields to eat. One little spike buck walked traveed a path about 100 yards from us, and I never even thought about shooting him. On our way back to the truck, Kent said I should have shot that deer. I was like really, it was awful small. He said heck ya i should have. So the next mornign i got up before everyone else did, eat a slab of pecan pie and had a Dr pepper and headed down to the swather to shoot that spike and redeme my man card for letting it walk the night before.

As the sun came up this guy was following the same trail, heading back down to the river. He was walking straight at me, I placed the crosshairs in the center of his chest at the base of his neck, pulled the trigger, and he dissapeared. I jumped off the swather and ran over to the buck, didnt know what to do and went back to the house and got my wifes grand pa, who showed me how to gut a deer. Now I get to return the favor by gutting all his, and he sure likes to kill.
