Got a javolina in south Texas. Better than any kill I ever had with training wheels. Sure glad I made the switch.

I actually had two...hard to say one was more significant to me than the other.
I shot this buck in 1990. It took me four years to get him and the only time I saw him was when I shot him. He turned out to be a NH State record for a bow (152 7/8") and held that spot for 10 years. Two other bucks have been killed with higher scores but as far as I know they were compound kills.
I shot this cow moose the last hour of the last day of the '07 moose season. The sense of accomplishment was one of the most gratifying of my hunting career.

Ooooopppppssss! I misread the title of the post. I thought it said "finest" bow kill. My first bow kill was actually a chipmunk I shot when I was 13 back in 1956.

I killed this buck one week after I killed my first animal with trad back in 1997. My first was a small doe but I can't find pictures of her right away.

First trad bow kill was a blackbird when I was eight. First big game kill was a caribou in Alaska many years later...

My first traditional kill was a feral cat out behind the shop. Perfect shot behind the shoulder, I don't remember drawing or releasing just the arrow punching in right behind the shoulder.

Had to think long and hard on this because it was so long ago, it was a mourning dove with an old Howatt Cavalier.

My first trad kill was a grey squirrel. My second trad kill was a 10 point buck, which was also my first deer ever - remember, it's better to be lucky than good. Both were taken with a 45# Ben Pearson gamester recurve in the early 70's. I still have that bow.
