I Have been "hunting" since 2013.

3 does. 3 "bucks"

I went on my first hunt in January of 2013 on a friends lease, I had an opportunity but never had a clear shot.

I was out of a job in the fall of that year and another friend took me. I shot a fork horn at 10 yards with a muzzle loader.

In 2014 back at work, and I had been sucked in. My uncle had some property and was willing to let me hunt it, my parents had some small acreage and I could hunt there too. I worked really hard on learning to shoot a bow, and on November 9 of that year I took my first (and only) with a bow. A doe at 25 yards. Nov 28 of '14 I took a 7 point with my rifle. I shot what I was sure was a doe on 28th of December, turned out to be a 130 pound button buck. This was my first season of hunting by myself and my best yet. Lots of beginner's luck.

I hit a doe in the shoulder with an arrow on opening day of 2015 and never found her, but the arrow had less than 2 inches of penetration.
Calendar year of 2015 was void of any deer, but on January 9th of '16 at a friends farm I took a doe with my 30-30.

The next, final and most recent deer I shot was Dec 27 at the same farm of '16 and again another doe.

I've spent a lot of time on my food plots, and trying to scout and understand the terrain, so hopefully I'll be able to put some down this season.
