The excellent thread about your very first deer got me wondering how we could expand on a great idea. How about your very first buck? I realize some might have got a buck for their first deer and already posted it, but who cares? Post it again!  Maybe this has been done, I dunno, but it's a fun topic. I rattled in and shot this buck in 1996 with a NEF bull barrel 12. I was poor and supporting my parents then, and had to save for that gun, which I still have and wouldn't sell for $1000.00 for these days.  |

I dont remember.
I remember my first deer .... a button buck killed when I was 9.
I remember my first deer with a bow ...... a spotted fawn when i was somewhere between 10 and 12.
I cant for the life of me remember the first buck I killed.
Early on I killed anything and everything that I had a tag for. I would guess I killed 100 or so deer by the time I was 25 years old. Not 1 picture. Not 1 set of antlers kept.
In the ten years since I have killed few but remember each of them. Pictures .... antlers ..... memories.

My first buck was taken in the early nineteen fifty's.
I was setting in a pecan tree on my uncles farm in northwest Florida,using a single shot Springfield 22 cal rifle. A Small 4 pointer walked under the tree and I dropped him in his tracks.I found at close range a 22 hollow point behind the ear would do the job.A buck was no big deal as we were there for the meat.Not much excitement,just helping feed the family.
We usually had three or four deer and several wild hogs hanging in the smokehouse year round.
My family never purchased meat from a store during those years,and pretty much grew every thing else needed.

My first buck was my first deer too. It took me 5 years to get one. I haven't had much luck since then. He was a 10 ptr that weighed 213 lbs. He ran right to me and stopped 13 yds away. Not a very hard shot with a 12 gauge!  Got him hangin' in the living room! ;D  |
