20 years for me! God that seems like a long time! I'm 31 now and killed my first with a bow at age 11. It was 24 days into the season, but there were a whole lot less deer back then. I hunted every single day and that was the first deer I had in bow range. Oh how times have changed!

My first deer hunt was in 1987. I guess this makes my 23rd year hunting deer.

I have been bow hunting deer since I was 14, so 14 years of hunting under my belt. I took my first deer at age 15. It's only the past 5-6 years though that I've really started to figure it all out.

25 yrs ago for deer with rifle, 23 yrs ago for elk (dad wouldn't let me chase elk with him 'til 14, but didn't really start hunting elk 'till I was 16 even though I lived in the same spot and just went out the back door to hunt national forest land)
10 yrs ago picked up a bow

I killed my first deer when I was 10 with a shotgun. I didn't get into bow hunting till I was 17 years old and I didn't take it serious till I was 20. I was to busy chasing the other type of whitetails  and bow hunting went on the back burner. At 21 put down my old bear whitetail bow and purchased a X-bow and I killed my first deer with a x-bow that year. At 25 years old I was in a bad work accident and I couldn't bow hunt for 6 years, that was the worst 6 years of my life. In 2004 I purchased a new PSE and I wasn't able to hunt till 2006 with it. Now I am in the woods all that I can be and filling my freezer. So I have over 17 years chasing deer but really only about 8 years in the woods with a bow taking out the years I never could get in the woods. |
