I can't tell what you are holding? Are those converse allstars on your feet?

Here is my first. I was a bit older then you were when I got started in trad hunting!

Bisch : That's a 13 stripe ground squrel . The shoes are blue tips .
I was also very hard on bull frogs with that rig .

Dale,
 Started shooting a bow like that when I was 8, also hard on bull frogs-Pops liked the legs. Rabbits were fair game and in '65 killed my first buck with bow-45# solid fiberglass Bear bow. Really a fluke on my part but sometimes better lucky than good.
 Fun to see the older pics.
The essence of the hunt for me is to enter nature and observe+ return safely occasionally with the gift of a life taken.

Well, I started around 57/58, no pictures, but I don't think you'd want to see it anyway, as it was a big east n.y Brooklyn rat.

You guys kill me, " are those converse sneakers "    :biglaugh:

Both nice trophies.

Good greif Dennis! Thats the way to get going. No digital cameras when I had my first kill and no film cameras around sadly. I think thats a major reason I take so many today.

Good thread and good looking "Firsts" guys.

Ooops, I made a mistake. This was actually my first kill. I shot a gobbler in the spring and the buck that fall in the same year.

This would have to be my first after reintroduction in 2009.

Somewhere in the "Historical Photo Albums" in my Moms' house, is a 5 y.o. Birthday pic with me and My Very First Bow. I don't think I will show the Corn Cob I killed.   :rolleyes:   Wasn't a record or anything.   :laughing:
