As soon as I could shoot a BB gun, maybe 6yo? Got my first bow around 10yo. Killed rabbits etc. Went through most of my 20s without hunting with a bow. ( Im 42 ) Didnt get serious with a bow again till 2005 or 6. Killed my first deer with a bow a year or so later.
I haven't hunted a year yet.I killed my first deer last November so I would say that's when I started.Killed another one a couple weeks later and after the season I bought a bow and want to start bowhunting this coming season.
Im 40. Hunting ducks to squirrels since I was old enough. Lucky for me we've had deer family owned hunting property since 1971 and had a house on the coast to duck hunt from. Never had to deal with the lease stuff other than birds
First deer with a rifle at 5, first deer with a bow at 13, first black powder deer at 15. Ive been 98% archery for about 7 or 8 years.
My main focus for the past 3 has been to get my wife and son an animal with their bow
I'm 54. Started with rabbits and squirrels when I was 7 with a pellet gun, and trapping coons and foxes. When I was 10 I got a single shot 20 gauge and was roaming the woods by myself for all kinds of game. Started seriously bowhunting for deer when I was 13. So...hunting 47 years, bowhunting for 41.
