Way to go!  I'm 20 and still looking for my first deer so a little jealous.  Grown up a bird hunter though.  Been hunting with my dad since I could carry a toy gun.  It's my biggest passion in life now!

Very nice! good luck to you!

Good job 243 ... enjoy these times ... your memories of your time afield with your dad and brother are priceless and will be even more precious as the years go by.

I started hunting "blackies" with my brothers and neighbors when I was 14 years old (but never got to share that with my dad who had a severe heart condition). I got a nice 2 pt the first morning with a 30-30 after sneaking to within 10 yards while tracking a 5 pt.  Started hunting with a bow the next year and had some pretty good success over several years.  However my brother, friends, nephew, and sons all were gun hunters ... several years ago they asked me if I would like to go with them ... never sorry I did .. I harvested 9 deer and 8 elk in the last 15 years with them (3 years of that my gun stayed in the rack during elk season while I took them with me so they could see what I was doing ... have called elk in the last 7 years straight and now they are calling) ... and I should have harvested many more ... but it was more than just harvesting another animal. I love it even more when my sons or nephews or friends or brother harvest a bird or animal.  Now, it's almost unbearable waiting until the day I can spend time with my grandkids afield.  Enjoy these times and remember its not about the harvest as much as the time spent and the memories shared ...
