I got a longbow and put away the wheels in Jan. i'm 15 and I have killed a couple with the wheel bow and a bunch with the shotgun and muzzleloader. But come October 6th I will be looking for my first trad kill. And I think it will mean more than all my other deer put together, including the 2 I have mounted. Of course I will try and arrow a trukey too, i've never killed one in the fall before.

I'm looking for my first with a trad bow. I had a doe and 2 fawns under my stand yesterday. The doe presented herself more than once but I held off. The fawns were still going to her for milk. It would have been legal but it didn't feel right to me. Plenty of deer here. I'll get my chance. It just felt good to be in the stand after being out of it for some time.

Good luck to everyone.

Hey Kenny I thought you'd be a season veteran at this. I'm looking forward to my first too.  :)

That'd be me too. I finally got good wind tomorrow and am taking Dad's Ben Pearson up the ladder. Been waiting for this east wind to quit.

Called Dad tonight, and we talked about his bow...trying to remember the day he brought it home back in '74. I remembered.

His Spectre and Me. We're both looking for that first Trad blood.

Now I think I know why I missed that stinkin' groundhog with Miss Hope. My first Trad kill is supposed to be with Dad's bow.

Good safe luck folks. Everyone here deserves it.

I had my first kill (deer) with a longbow in 1975 in Indiana, and then I made a mistake of switching to compound, two years ago I switch back, hunting public land, but I was choosing areas too close to the large cities, now I've moved 20 mi. north, and I hunt 51 mi. north of that.  So I think I will have my first kill again over this year.  First time out on opening day, I got busted.  All I got a chance to see was, a big butt, with that white flag going the other way.

I will be back at it for my 14th year this year still looking to connect with my first traditional deer.  I got the first deer of my life last year with my muzzleloader so this year I am hoping will be the year.

I'm with ya...after 22 seasons with a compound this will be my first with traditional gear.  I've shot more this year then any in the last ten and have been humbled several times.  

I'm taking the 1st of October off and will be in the stand opening night.  Can't wait and I'm a nervous wreck.

I just started shooting trad this summer.  I'm having a lot of fun just practicing here in the backyard.  I'm not sure if I will try to take a deer this year.

I'm in the club.

While shaking like a leaf, I shot at a deer two seasons running.  First shot was from the ground and I nicked her hoof.  Next season I shot at a buck and skinned his back.

Maybe I should pick a spot instead of trying to hit the entire deer.  Ya' think?

Wish you all the best!! Remember to stay safe-no deer is worth sitting on the sidelines.
 Any deer taken with a stick is a trophy in my book-so pick a spot and have at it.
 Above all enjoy the time in the woods you are given-if you listen you will learn.
The essence of the hunt for me is to enter nature and observe+ return safely occasionally with the gift of a life taken.
