I can't tell what you are holding? Are those converse allstars on your feet?

Here is my first. I was a bit older then you were when I got started in trad hunting!

Bisch : That's a 13 stripe ground squrel . The shoes are blue tips .
I was also very hard on bull frogs with that rig .

Dale,
Started shooting a bow like that when I was 8, also hard on bull frogs-Pops liked the legs. Rabbits were fair game and in '65 killed my first buck with bow-45# solid fiberglass Bear bow. Really a fluke on my part but sometimes better lucky than good.
Fun to see the older pics.

Well, I started around 57/58, no pictures, but I don't think you'd want to see it anyway, as it was a big east n.y Brooklyn rat.

You guys kill me, " are those converse sneakers "

Both nice trophies.

This was my first trad kill. Beginners luck!

Good greif Dennis! Thats the way to get going. No digital cameras when I had my first kill and no film cameras around sadly. I think thats a major reason I take so many today.

Good thread and good looking "Firsts" guys.

Ooops, I made a mistake. This was actually my first kill. I shot a gobbler in the spring and the buck that fall in the same year.

Pine · January 22, 2015, 11:15:00 AM

Here is my first. I was not very good at pictures back then.

Graps...that old bear quiver sure makes me wonder what we were or weren't thinking about in those days

Cyclic-Rivers · January 22, 2015, 05:35:00 PM

This would have to be my first after reintroduction in 2009.

Somewhere in the "Historical Photo Albums" in my Moms' house, is a 5 y.o. Birthday pic with me and My Very First Bow. I don't think I will show the Corn Cob I killed. :rolleyes: Wasn't a record or anything.

Crappy iphone pic...but my first harvest none the less.

5 Years ago I believe. Been hooked ever since.
