Guess I was in the 3rd or 4th grade and my dad came and got me out of school. He had bought me a new mossburgh 20 guage bolt action shotgun and took me to a dove lease that his company had. We walked and waited and watched, I was itching to shoot for the first time. A sparrow or some such Small bird was all that was flying around at the time and I kept at him till he said ok. I raised my gun and followed, followed,led little and squeezed the trigger. Bird was pretty close and the only thing I found were feathers. Great times back then.

With the Red Ryder BB guns?  We also used them big old grasshoppers for target practice.  Got us into shooting more accurately! 

Good practice for later on.  My daddy always preached to make the first shot count.  They thought ammo was expensive back then. 

Good luck and good smoking.

Here is my first bow kill. Not a monster but a nice 6-pointer. There all the same size in packages....

...Your 17-pointer is a beauty!

 

[pike2]

nice  at least you got one,    you would think that they would be bigger the further north.

Very nice buck!

 

[idaho hutch]

My first was a spike. Well actually one side was broken off, so I call it a single.

But my best was a four point 29 7/8" wide Muley. Just short of 30"!! You white tail hunters would call it a 10 point. But out West we call this a 4 point.

I don't have a pic of my first deer handy, but it was a 4x4 mulie.  Yes, that's 4x4, not an 8 pointer.  I've never understood why you whitetail guys count them on both sides.

He was a super deep forked buck.  He trotted out of some quakies at about 50 yards, quartering away.  I only had a quick second to decide to shoot.  I saw some really tall antlers and lots of points, so I took him.  He was 21" tall and 14" wide.  Kind of a bizarre set of antlers on the guy.  I got him mounted, and he's currently on the wall at my buddy's cabin in Montana.

Here's my first elk.  Any bull permits are tough to get in Utah, so spike hunting is all you can do.  I have a European of this guy that's on my office wall.

I've got video of me taking a bite of my first elk's liver.  I used to have it on youtube, but I took it down.  It's pretty graphic and I didn't want to give those PETA freak shows something to talk about.

I guess it started when they counted how many points there were. .....Kidding

Not counting birds and slugs dispatched with a BB gun when I was a kid, mine was a small 2-point mule deer in eastern Washington, in the Winthrop area. I was about 16, so this would've been in '77. Used a pre-1940 Winchester model 94 30-30, which I still own. And yes, it does have a side-mounted scope. It was on there when I got it, but I've never relied on it for short shots.

I'd been hunting with my dad and his buddies since I was 12, but this was the first one I'd ever had an opportunity to shoot at. I remember I was alone, tramping the hills for miles all morning near our camp, when I came upon it on my way back--about 300' from the dang camp! Still a heavy drag back, though.
