It seems like we remember the firsts in such a different way.

Rob Terry was also a part in my first hog at Solana. He taught me how shot placement was different. The first hunt of that trip I had a hog on the ground. I also got hooked.

I bet if you ask Reed about that hunt it will still bring a smile to his face.

First buck with a bow many congrats.

There are more I know.

The 2011-2012 season was good.

My first traditional harvest.

An old wise doe.

I took this photo as I found her, about 30 yards from where the shot was taken. I wanted to snap a photo as she was found before touched by human hand. I placed the 35 year old Bear Super Grizzly by her.

(http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f94/Equismith/100_0410.jpg)

First traditional squirrel, with Faith.

(http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f94/Equismith/PICT1333.jpg)


First traditional pheasants for herndont, his son Hunter, and me. Mine was a ground shot on a flying bird downed by herndont.

My Brittany, Libby

Libby had the most fun I think.
