My 11 year old son got a doe on his first bow hunt ever tonight. Story and pics later. I found the deer at 10:30 and he is in bed and I am heading to bed. Story: Ran home got my son after work and headed to the woods. My son found a spot and I walked about 150 yards away and climbed a tree. He was sitting on the ground and moved 4 times I think. He ended up overlooking a grass road at the bottom of hill. The deer suddenly appeared on the road in front of him and he shot right with about 20 minutes of light left. I headed to the car and drove around to help him. I found the arrow right away and knew it wasn't a great hit so we left and came home. He went to bed and I went back out at 10. I found a little bit of blood that was trackable and she did a half circle and I found her laying right in the middle of the road. He did not even get to see the deer until today. The deer was really skinny and and some marks on it. We think it may have been hit by a car.

Congratulations! I didn't get my first bow kill until year before last at the age of 36. I had bow hunted for a few years and then gave it up for about 17 years or so. Got a doe the first year I tried again.

I was one of those guys that saw everyone else shooting deer every year. I actually hunted for 5 years, 3 of those with a bow before i got my first deer. I eventually shot a buck during shotgun season. It was an 8pt buck and I was brought to tears when I realized that I had finally harvested my first deer...
In some ways, it almost made me appreciate the hunts and years that had passed in prior years.... But it still would have been nice to be one of those guys that is lucky enough to get one right out of the gate....
Congratulations young man. I hope you are hooked now and ready to get back out there. Don't forget to thank your dad on a regular basis for sharing this tradition.
