Now this thread takes me back quite a few years! Pre-kids and way before the "gray" hair took over....             1988 I believe    

     

[LoneWolf73]

First Trad Deer

[RAU]

This is my 1st. I think this was 2004. 50 lb great plains recurve and magnus stinger.

 

[memo]

Fox longbow and Ribtek broadhead did the job on this rabbit down here in Australia.

[DRR324]

My first trad deer- Bob Lee Hunter, Beman shaft, wasp stinger broadhead.  Shot from the ground, went 50 yards.  Wow- my son has grown some since then!  2004
 

[canopyboy]

Last December (2010).  Hoyt Dorado, 45#.  Happened at dusk, she appeared almost out of nowhere.  I took the shot from the creekbed as she put her head down behind a tree to nibble some berries.  15yds, you're looking at the exit hole.  Couldn't find her until the next morning, even though she was only about 50yds away.

 

Thanks for starting this thread!

Last season was my 1st Trad year, didn't get a pic of the 1st deer i shot, which was a nice doe, cuz i was hunting by myself that night, but got these other two kills for last fall. Smaller of the two from Wisconsin, bigger one from North Dakota.                    

[joe skipp]

Never took pics of the first few deer but here are a couple.

From the 70's.......



From the 80's.....

[BoonRoto]

Great thread!

[ScottV_7]

My first with trad gear.  Without a doubt one of my happiest moments and memorable hunts.

[sonofabuck]

03 or 04 i think. Sky skyhawk 55# 2216 with bear broadhead went maybe 20yds. Not the biggest buck i have killed but my favorite.

[Manitoba Stickflinger]

My 1st Trad buck from 1989. I killed a Trad bear a year earlier but still searching for the pic?
