Found it. Either 1988 or 1989. If I could only see which acid wash jeans I had on I'd know better!!

Here's mine....January 8, 1988. It turned around a VERY frustrating season          

   

A deer like that could turn "careers" around.

Trap

This was my first deer with a bow. If you can see the entry hole this one was a fun tracking job (all gut)    :rolleyes: . 58@29 zipper sxt longbow with woodsman broadheads. Shot her in October 1 of 2011  

Good stuff, guys.  Keep em coming.

Didn't have the thought to snap a pic, but mine was the mighty racoon.  I had missed a couple of deer prior to the coon, but somehow managed to bowl that masked bandit over on a dead run.  Go figure.

First trad whitetail. Many moons ago.Used first bow I ever built. Pretty crude but it worked fine!!

Unfortunately there is nothing old and grainy about these pics.  First trad kill was a catfish:



Still surprised and blessed that this was my first trad deer - also my best deer with any weapon:

This 100# sow was not my 1st trad kill, but an interesting one, 1984 w/my 1st Silvertip TD. Had to shoot this 27 year old to get a P&Y'er the next evening.   This is the P&Y Bear I got the 2nd day

Do not have a pic, but it was the biggest deer I have ever killed, 24.5" inside spread very tall and heavy chocolate horned 8 point killed in Texas in 1967 with a 55# Ben Pearson Cougar recurve, bear cedar arrow and razor head. He was bedded in sage brush with a doe, doe was standing and I was at 25 yards, at half draw, I whistled and he stood up, came to full draw and nailed him, he went maybe 30 yards and was down. Lost the pictures and the rack in a fire in 1970. Been trying to kill another like him ever since, LOL.

My first archery harvest ever. 6 yards on the ground. Holzrichter Custom Lonbow, 47# at 27", Beman MFX 500, 75 grain brass insert, 150 grain Woodsman Original. October 13, 2012.
 

Great thread. I love it. God bless.

First trad kill pic, shot in the heart on last day while she was trotting past. Pic taken by G Fred with my camera, great memories on that adventure. Bigriver flatbow, magnus heads & home made cedars.
