    My 12 year old son Gabe shot a doe tonight on his first time out with a bow. He is really pumped and needless to say so am I. I will post picks tomorrow, we are leaving now to get it!

    Good job Gabe! An old tradition is to take a bite out of your first deers heart and eat it. I didn’t do it and don’t suggest you do either, lol. If anyone says you need to do that simply point to the loins and tell them those taste better.

    Hope to see some pictures.

    Congrats to your son
    If you want to talk about small , the first deer I shot with my bow could fit in a backpack
    But, like your son, I will never forget that day or the deer

    Congrats Gabe!

    I agree any deer taken with a bow is a trophy, much less your first.

    Congrats Gabe on your first bow kill! Do yourself and us a favor. Write a story about your hunt and what you did to harvest your deer. Share it with us and then keep it for yourself. Someday you may want to look back and relive the memory.
