Here are 2 pics of my first deer taken. It is mounted on my wall. I'll have to see if I can find some pics to see when I shot it. I think it was back in 1989. the year my first daughter was born. Damn several good firsts that year.

Fun post! Not my first Deer but my first Archery kill and yes we really did haul it out on that pole. I do not recommend that procedure either as we must have fallen down a dozen times ;D This is a scan of the original from Dad's collection, had to brush out the expletive

Cool old photos ! My first was a button buck in 1977 with a Ben Pearson 35# recurve. Started hunting in 73. Didn't see many deer back in those days.

Here is Woodmaster's first kill. A bow kill button buck. I think he was 14 at the time/. 1976 in Ballard county in Kentucky. I missed 3 deer that morning before I finally connected. I saw more deer that morning than I usually see in a year in Indiana. I remembered thinking that I'll never kill one in Indiana. Dad and I killed does with our bows the same day in Indiana a couple of weeks later!

LOL, that's all brains I have stuffed up under there. ;D HAH! Either you had a giant hat or a tiny head lol! You know, I kind of miss that camo. I think I need to get some ASAT or Predator. I like how it looks. Oh yah, my first two deer there were killed in the exact same spot and fell not 15ft apart. Pretty keen!

This is my very first deer. A 4 point buck shot in Massachusetts on the opening day of archery. Got it with my brand new browning compound and the first time ever hunting out of a tree stand. I made a homemade climber that I copied from a friends Baker Tree Stand. This is a hunt I'll never forgot. Gee I was skinny then. LOL! This is one of the best threads ever on this site.

HH, funny you mentioned it but Dad & I made our own climbers copied from a Baker too, boy Baker was the real deal back then. Your Browning bow looks alot like the one I used to hunt with and still have...

It took some digging, but I finally found the old pictures. Here is my first deer. That's me in the truck. JUST KIDDING!!!!! That's my dad's buck he got in the early 80's. Here is my first deer. I was in the sixth grade and was hunting with my dad in a tree stand. As I raised the gun, I accidentally hit the trigger. I hadn't even looked through the scope yet. Somehow, I grazed her stomach and after she ran about 50 yards, she jumped a small creek and it ripped her whole belly open. There wasn't any gutting needed, they were scattered all over the creek bank. I used my mom's 16 gauge and her hunting boots. I am wearing my dad's home made hunting jacket. After looking at some old pictures, that camo outfit killed a lot of deer over the years.

This is a cool thread! I would have responded sooner, but I had to scan my old pictures first. I didn't have digital pics of my first deer. This is my first deer. It was a doe taken on the opening evening about 9 years ago. My brother-in-law had actually shot at this doe and just barely grazed her belly enough to shave some hair and bring a trickle of blood. I saw her run toward me and I put her down with my (brand new, at the time) Rem .870. It would have been my brother-in-law's first deer if he had been a better shot I was sick as a dog that night and really didn't feel like getting up to hunt the next morning, but my father-in-law and brother-in-law sort of shamed me into going out by razzing me about being a wussy! As it turned out, I went out and killed my first buck. A whopper of a spike! I didn't care, it was a buck anyway! You can tell by my grin that his is was a "booner" in my book at the time! I have really enjoyed seeing all these old pics and reading the stories.

Woody's scrapbook is something to see. It was awesome thumbing through it at the picnic this summer. I have a pic but unfortunately it is back in Indiana. 8 point buck I shot in '93 or '94. It was extra special because my Dad was with me hunting a little further down the ridge.

Thanks for this thread.... it is cool to look at these old pics and I was motivated to take some old pictures into the kodak scanner at wally world and have them put on CD, something I have needed to do. A 19 year old Sasquatch took this large doe at 15 yards with a 57 lb Bear "black bear" bow, no sights, giant aluminum arrows and a three-blade Cabelas Lazer Pro Mag. I was hunting in thick cover watching a trail. I sat on a stool with a lot of stuff behind me but no blind. The year was 1995.

Don't have any pics of ths buck but the first one I ever killed was taken outside the Proving Ground fence over near Nebraska and it was an 8 pointer,and the year was 1965.At that time there were no deer around this part of the country except near the Jefferson Proving Grounds,I killed this one with a slug gun. The next year outside of the fence near JPG I took my first bow kill,it was a doe and that one I will never forget,we had to drag this does from the fence out to Highway 50 because the snow was so deep that you couldn't drive back the roads to the fence,that was a very long drag!!!!!!Since then I've lost count of the number of deer that I've taken.....
