I bought a McPherson hornet from a pawn shop one morning. Took it to Quint's sporting goods put a new string on it and a cheap sight and a pack of rage broad heads. I sighted in 20 30 and 40yd pins when I got home and hunted that evening. I was in a ladder stand off a road at last light and a doe stepped into the road I guessed 30yds and let her fly.. Double lunged her ill never forget the sound of that arrow hitting her, I have been hooked every since!

Deer were eating neighbor's roses down to the nub. She gave me permission to hunt.
There was an oak flat surrounded by cutover pines. I noticed squirrels shaking acorns out of the trees. Snuck in there one morning carrying my Grizzly ladder. Set up, settled in and saw a doe. Shot, stuck her far back but she didn't go far. M

First time deer hunting with a bow I was 10 and had a cowhorn come in at 15 yards and was shaking so bad I couldn't keep the arrow on the rest. That was the first deer I had ever seen while hunting as well. Adrenaline is a killer. Still waiting on my first with a bow

Cowhorn spike, PSE Nova, about 13 years old.

Aimed for body and hit in neck. Was shaking bad. Had killed a lot of deer, and some good bucks with rifle, but bow was different. It still is.

Was my first year of bowhunting and I had made enough errors for a lifetime of hunting. I was walking back to my truck through a grownup cow pasture and walked up on a big 7 pointer eating acorns along the fence row. I only had one arrow left and hit it high in the chest above the heart but actually hit an artery. There was blood everywhere. I tracked the deer about 50 yards in to the woods. Been hooked on bowhunting since.


I came, I saw, so I killed them all......Vern

First morning I ever bowhunted I was hunting at the bottom of the mountain next to the creek in an old lock-on. Bout 20 min after light, I saw a deer coming down the other side of the creek, but couldn't tell what it was. It was cold enough that morning that you could see its breath. Anyways, as it crossed the creek about 15 yards, I could tell it was a buck and slung an arrow. I knew the shot hit high and I only got about 3 inches of penetration. Watched him run up the mountain wide open. Trailed very little blood and wound up jumping him two different times. A year later, a buddy of mine finds a dead buck within 40 yards of where I shot the one opening morning. All he took was the head. Went back and found my broad head. Missed the spinal cord by about two paper widths. The deer lived at least long enough for the vertebrae to grow back around the broad head. I guess he eventually died of infection. Wish I would've found him sooner cause I would have had him mounted. Got a free euro mount though. Still my largest bow kill.






Yeah, well, I always heard there were three kinds of suns in Kansas: sunshine, sunflowers, and sons-of-bitches.

Hunting with 2 customers in Starkville, Ms mid November 2006. We had steaks the night before and they drank way too much beer and whiskey and decided to sleep in the next morning. Weather was very nasty and wind blowing like crazy. I drove 370 miles to hunt so I decided to go anyway. Got in the middle of a ton of acorn trees hoping the deer would feed here before the storm since the wind was blowing down acorns like crazy. About an hour after sunrise, I saw a small buck cross the road where the acorn trees first started. I kept looking and counted 8 more bucks after him. And the last one was a nice 10 point still in partial velvet. They all fed towards me. The big 10 was walking straight towards me with a huge oak directly in front of us. He stopped behind the tree and had to turn left or right. He turned left and gave me a 25 yard broadside shot. I shot and it hit him and sounded like a paper bag had burst. He looked left and right and fell over dead. I took my bloody arrow and walked back to the camp where the guys were fixing breakfast. Boy were they surprised.
About 3 hours later, a F2 tornado hit Starkville, MS first then went on to hit Tuscaloosa. In total, killing 11 people.


As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.

Went to the kitchen to get a cookie...had 4 deer in my backyard eating my soybeans. My son always makes a point to tell people I shot a deer from the kitchen in my boxers.

Killed my first deer with a bow last season amongst the palmettos in a swamp on our lease in Dallas county. It was a good sized doe, she came in with 6 other does and I shot her at 15 yards.

The adrenaline was unreal. I have no idea why anyone would wanna do drugs when they could just take up bow hunting.

Don't remember the exact year, but I'm guessing mid-90's. One season I joined a club across the highway from Maplesville high school. There was a nice house at the entrance of our club (dirt road to our club turned just beside this house), and just behind that house was a SMZ with white oaks. This was just a tiny little triangle of our land right on the boundary line, literally might have been 2 or 3 acres right there. From the tree you could see that house. I had scouted in there the week before season opened and there were already some acorns dropping and a few piles of poop. Opening morning of bow season I climbed in there before daylight and had deer come in before I could see. One of them stayed just a little too long, and I smoked a big ol doe! She ran about 75 yards and it crashed!! #hookedforlife

I was in Atlanta, behind Georgia States baseball field. I was 22 and it was my second hunt ever in a climber and with my bow. First hunt was the afternoon before and shot a huge 8point right in the shoulder with very little penetration and no blood. Went back to the same spot in the morning to hunt a little before I looked for my buck. Well early on a doe and yearling come in. I shot the doe and she ran off. The yearling was still standing there and I wasn't sure if I had hit the doe so I shot the yearling to make sure I'd have at least 1 deer dead out of the 3 I had shot at. Ended up finding the doe and yearling piled up within 5yards of each other, but of course no sign of the big buck.

You should try bow hunting while on crystal meth
