Got a photo of your very first Deer? Here I am with my very first one. I shot this 130 pound Doe at Crane on December 17, 1977, when I was 28 years old and 50 pounds heavier ;D I guess many of you weren't even born yet. Over the years, since then, I've shot many-many Deer, but the first one is always the most memorable. Even if it's a Doe!  |

I love old hunting pictures. I need to scan my old ones so I can share them. Does the old tiller still run?  |

Cool post, I'll play. A strapping young powderfinger in 1986. My first one was a pretty good one. I was 16 and 100 lbs lighter. He was 210 lbs and a 12 pt.  |

I don't think there were any pictures taken of my first deer (a fawn doe in '92) or my first buck, but here's a pic of my first "wall" buck, taken in '98 I believe.  |

Browning Ambush Bow @ 55# with cheap wal-mart broadheads. I think he scored a whopping 90". This was after 6 unsuccessful seasons of no kills. I am guessing I was maybe 30# lighter!   |

I love old hunting pictures. I need to scan my old ones so I can share them. Does the old tiller still run? It's interesting seeing everyone's first Deer. No that is not a tiller but rather an old Yazoo Lawnmower in the background. |

Great thread drs I just went through a TON of pics at my parents a few weeks ago looking for old hunting/fishing pics to make an album for our website(still need to get them scanned) Just love looking at those old pics Thank you, greendog. That photo was in my scrapbook, my Brother took the photo of me & the Deer. The date, I shot the Deer, was both my Granddad's & Great Aunt's Birthday. Also my Cousin Mark's Daughter was born about the same time I got the Deer on 12/17/77!! I got my second Deer (Buck) in 1981 during the M/L Season. |

This is my first bow kill.. 1972 - I believe. I killed one with a gun a couple years before that. 41 yard shot with a Carrol Gentleman Jim Take Down Recurve. Magnificent non-typical 3 pointer. The young man to my right was my neighbor 15 year old Jeff Smith who killed his first the same evening. A 7 pointer.  |

Still looking for the photo of my first. I know Turkeyscout has seen it so it isn't a figment of my imagination. Still not sure if it was 65 or 66 but it was a huge(they were all huge back then) 8 pointer with about a 10 inch spread. Took it with my trusty old 48# Ben Pearson I got at K-Mart and wood arrows with a bear broadhead which I do not think I sharpened.

Well I went a little overboard. I have my first deer in '95 a large doe, first buck in '96 a basket 8, and first archery deer in '03 a spike that had a couple nubbins at the base. I'd never used the scanner on this printer we have and it took forever because I had to find a patch for the problem that arose. Good times lol.    |
