I hunted deer for the first time in second grade. I got my first deer in seventh grade. So I guess that means I hunted 5 years before I got a deer also.
I hunted 3 years before getting my first.
My first year, I was 7 years old. That was 40 years ago...
I was 21-years old before I first went huntin'and got my first deer!
i havnt gotten a deer yet but im hopefully this year i might get to go
I got one in my third year hunting deer.
So you hunted 5 years before you got your first deer?
Just think, it makes you to appreciate it that much more and not take it for granted!
I’m impressed, very impressed!
About 2-hours. I was very lucky.
I have begginers luck at almost everything. My first deer was an eight-pointer that walked out 30 minutes after the first time I ever climbed up in a stand to hunt.
It was my third hunt when I was twelve years old. Sheer dumb luck is what it was.
Yea it is hard to sit still but if you see a deer it is WELL WORTH IT. Thats speaking from experence. I got lucky and my first year out with a gun i got a deer.
2 hours into the hunt , I shot my first deer, a 7 point , +200lbs , whitetail!!! His pic is on my profile.
SORRY, it was the first deer hunt I had ever gone on!!!
Killed one on my first hunt when I was twelve---a seven point, and killed him with a 20 ga. loaded with #3 buck. I'd never let a kid try with than combo now, but I wasn't in charge back then, over fifty years ago.
I still hunted for only one year before I shot a doe with my bow, and then a few days later I shot a spike buck with a rifle, that was when I was fourteen.
i hunted 3 years but only 1 of those years i hunted deer
For the first many years of my hunting life, i was only welcome at camp the last weekend of buck season.(not because i'm a jerk, because i was a kid) It took me several years, maybe even 10, before i took my first buck. Since then i've done ok!
I hunted two seasons (ages 16 and 17) without success, and enlisted in the Marine Corps shortly before my 18th birthday. I wouldn't have another opportunity to hunt deer again until I returned to the continental United States and was 21 years old. That first season after my return yielded a successful hunt, and I dropped a muledeer buck, so I guess you could say I didn't connect until my third hunting season...or you could say it took me five years to bag my first buck.
Oops1 Sorry, It was 2 hours into my second day. It's been awhile.
i got my frist deer my second season thanks to a great teacher merl nappier and his willing ness to work with a young kid and learn me ethics and skills of hunting . the hunting camp will not be the same this year we lost merl in may at 87 years old a great hunter and teacher .
Last year which was my first deer im 16 now so i was 15 haha. But I saw a doe as soon as I got up the bank since we parked up the road I had to walk down. I didnt have my gun loaded but he ended up chasing that doe right back to me. it was running too fast but along came another and i squeezed the trigger. Turns out it was a button buck but hey it was my first year and i couldn't ask for a better day.
And i forgot to add I started to hunt last year and im lucky to have an awesome uncle and his brother who taught me everything i know about hunting and fishing.
4 years
I killed my first deer at about 23 years old and had hunted for 3-4 years. My dad didn't hunt deer and at that time there were not an abundance of the animals in the south like today.

about15 minutes after legal light my first day hunting a got a button buck.
my first deer was my second year hunting
i got one my first time hunting
I got mine the first two hours when I was 8 years old!!!
