I was 9 years old, stand hunting, with a .410
I was 9 in a ground blind with a .243 and shot a 9 point buck.
19 years old. There was no one to take me deer hunting as a child. Archery kill. Nov. 11th 1982.
10 yrs old. 16ga. Remington. 00 buck, 8pt.
11 years old. My first was a 5-point buck, taken while sitting against a tree with my dad and another friend during a juvenile hunt.
I forgot to mention that my first one was a doe.
10 years old out of a ground blind killed my frist doe
12, .260. doe
10 years old, spike buck with slug out of a single shot 29 gauge and brass bead for aiming.
11 years old on my first deer hunt using a 12 gauge single shot i got a big 12 point that i got mounted
12 years old, .50 caliber CVA Optima witha powerbelt on December 2 2006 10 pointer heart shot
19...I shot a little 4 point scoring 65 B&C. Not too impressive but the antlers are mounted! When I shot him you'd have sworn I had just dropped a world record I was so excited.
I was 12 yrs old with a $25 yard sale special bow. No idea what brand the bow was the finish was very poor, but i still own it, probably never get rid of it.
13 years old, doe with a 6mm.
I was 11 in 1981. I shot a doe with a Marlin .30-30 on the juvenile hunt.
Twelve, back in 1957. A seven point with a 20 ga with #3 buckshot (which I'd NEVER use now that I know better). I was on a drive, sitting on a stand with my dad.
13, spike with a .30-30
6, 30-30 while setting in a box blind with my dad 43 yrs ago this november.
7 years old 10 pt buck...8 years old got mi first doe..both with mi open sights 3030 winchester..100 yards...1 shot 1 kill
7 years old. Marlin 336, 35 Remington
27 years old - .30-30 lever action. Just started hunting 3 years ago, but I am absolutely addicted and hunt as often as I can now. Sometimes, I think I am trying to make up for all of the years that I thought about getting into hunting, and never did.
9 4pt. .243 with my grandpa
never!!! i hope to get one this year.
Keep at it ltmssbb! You'll get him! good luck
I was 14 years old when I got my first deer(a spike)
but last year I really picked up the pace and got another spike, a doe, and a five pointer.
12, 2 with one shot from Granpa's sporterized 1891 Argentine Mauser....
sixteen 8 pt. 243 win. missed a few at fourteen and fifteen with with my bow
I was eight years old. A three pointer (western count, which is three on each side) , a mule deer.
I used an old Savage model 99, take down model without a pistol grip in 30-30 caliber
remington 30-06 at about 120 yds.11 yrs old.killed a big doe.
I was 13, I had to wait until I was 12 to "start" hunting legally.
By the way the 9 point was about 75 yards away.
I was 7yrs old and i was with my dad i had a 410 single barrel shotgun with a slug it was a spike and i will never forget it that day changed my life it turned me into a avid outdoorsman and to respect mother nature and all her beauty i was excited and then sad but thats the day i learn to respect all wildlife that i encounter year after year alive or not.Thanks dad!!
16...took me 4 seasons of solid hunting to even see my first buck...when I did, I dropped him on the spot. It was a small buck, but it was a trophy in my book!
14, I started when I was legally of age and I shot a 7point (bow), 6point (sluggun), and 2 doe's (sluggun). all in the same season, it's legally.
14, the earliest legal age. I got a spike buck at 100 yards with my dad's .35 Remington. It was a great day of hunting.
!@ i used a 12 gauge and shot a nice 10
12 sorry
i was 6
I was fourteen and used an un-altered .303 S.M.L.E. No.4 MKI* Long Branch to take a spike mule deer. I had missed a big four point (western count) the day before. I had "buck fever" so bad I almost puked and missed 3 times from only 30 yards!
