    My first 2 bucks were both spikes and all of my bucks have been firearm kills. I have yet to harvest a buck with a bow. I had my first doe kill with a bow on 9/21/12 and just stuck another smaller doe this morning at 0745 hrs. I'm outta the woods giving her some time and will pick up the blood trail in a few hours. :)

    Mine was a little 8 point. He was my first deer, and it was my first season hunting. He came in chasing a doe, and it happened so fast I had to pinch myself to make sure it was real.

    My first buck was a monster 3 point ..when I was seven. He was around 200 yards..I had only practiced at 100. I shot, he jumped straight up and was now facing the other way. The next shot, I held high ..don't know how high, just above his back. He went down..I practically ran across that bottom ground to get there.
    My first bow buck was about ten years later. I had an old whitetail hunter 2 bear. This bow had to be 40" axel- axel, with probably a 32-33" draw. This thing didn't exactly fit me..it was a gift. I rattled and grunted in another monster 5 pointer this time. I think I shot at this deer three times before I hit him..good thing to, thats all the arrows I had. He ran about 30 yds and done.
    Neither of the two hunts are say "buy the book on how to hunt deer", but I've learned alot in my hunting years now. Shooting these two deer has made me the hunter I am today.
