How many looking for first trad kill

[dannyvp]

I am.
This will be my first even Bow Kill.

I killed my first deer ever at 13 with a fiberglass longbow...then left for many years of wheels.  I switched to a longbow this spring, and I am ready for Oct.1st season to start.

Good luck to you guys! I know I'm really excited!

pseman,
A week ago I could have joined this thread.  I've been trying for 9 years to take my first 'deer' with my longbow.  I'll start that that 'First Trad Kills' thread.

I'm looking for my first trad kill also. This will be my third year with trad gear. My first year I got bit with that "looking at the whole deer" thing and missed.....twice.....on the same deer. Hopefully this is going to be the year. Pick a spot, pick a spot, pick a spot, pick a spot, pick a spot...

Good luck to everyone out there! And don't forget to pick a spot.....LOL!

This will be my third serious season with the recurve.  I don't count the first couple seasons as looking back I was way out in left field as far as hunting tactics to get stick and string close.

This year I'm not looking for my first kill...I'm doing it!!  In a couple weeks I'll be right behind Howard on that 1st kill thread.

You can count me in IF- you change the title to- the male species of whitetails.  Shot a few does, no bucks yet.

took off the training wheels last december.  had a dozen, or so, w/ the wheeley bow... but i'll be looking for the first with trad gear.

The last 2 times I hit the woods with my selfbow, I was not prepared. I had been overseas for 8 weeks prior to my hunting trips to Nebraska. My first trip, I missed a bruiser at 17 paces. My bowstring got caught on my armguard and the arrow landed at his hooves. The second trip, I missed 3 different does at less than 10 paces from a tree stand. Someone needs to remember to bend at the waist. There will be no excuses this year. I shoot about 50 arrows a day. I have a full month more of practice before I go back to Nebraska. If I do not connect, it will not be because of a lack of practice. Either way, a day hunting is always better than a day of work. Good luck to all. I hope to see your stories on the first trad kills post.

This will be my first time bowhunting at all tomorrow. I'm so stoked. Scouted the place 3 times this week, went early this morning to watch the place come alive, really cool. I'm going in tomorrow a little earlier, good thing for a bright moon.
