Mine was all luck!!!! Had a group of bucks walk in to my feeder at 25yds. so I picked out the biggest one! Took a shot and he jumped the string and ran towards me and stopped at 12 yds where my arrow met right behind his front shoulder! her ran 25 yds and down he went!!!! 8pt with 19 3/4 inch inside spread and had 10 3/4 inch G-2s!!!! Very nice buck! he had 4 1/2 inch circ. thick bases!!!! couldn't ask for a better first bow kill!

Copied from "how many arrows" post.
The first deer I got many moons ago (around 1987) was a button buck that I thought was a doe. (hey, I was new at this stuff and every deer looked like it weighed 200 lbs from the treestand). Anyway, I took only four arrows with me that morning. About 7am, a nice little spike walks thru at about 30 yards. I draw down and as soon as he steps clear of the brush, I let the arrow fly. I watch and in slow motion I see my arrow arching perfectly toward the deer's vital area. And just as the arrow is almost there, things speed up really fast. The deer turns inside out and is gone by the time my arrow strikes the ground.
So I sit there a bit and calm down. This is when I realize that buck fever only bothers me "AFTER" the shot. After I calm down and nothing else has come thru, I get down from my stand and go retrieve my arrow. I put it at the back of my quiver so not to use it again. I wasn't sure if it was straight or not, and I'm sure the blades were now too dull to use.
About 9am, I see a deer heading my way and I get ready. As the deer closes to 20 yards, I can't take it any longer. The deer is quartering to me, but I figure that from the height of the treestand that I can take this shot. Again, the deer jumps the string and my arrow is sticking in the ground. (two arrows down, two left!) Now this deer did jump the string, but it didn't leave the area. I guess it was confused as to which way to go, so it stops only 15 yards from my stand, quartering away from me this time. I reload, with my 3rd arrow, and I shoot. Again, the deer jumps the string, but this time he didn't duck far enough. My arrow strikes him in the spine sounding like a .22 going off. The deer falls and makes a bleat sound that sounded like a sheep on steroids. This about completely did me in and I'm shaking like a leaf now. I'm trying not to fall out of the tree when I realize that this deer is trying to get up! Uh oh. So I pull my last trusty arrow out, reload and take aim. The deer had fallen where only his belly was facing me. I take aim, and seem to calm down and revert back to the many sessions of shooting practice. When the time is right, I let fly and the arrow dead centers his heart, putting him out of his misery, and me too. I grab hold of the tree because the shakes have returned.

I killed my first one when I was 14. I shot her at about 15 yards after I had shot over her back the first time at 25. She ran in after the first shot looking back at the sound of the arrow in the leaves that I shot over her back. I got another arrow out and spined her. It was a great day. I will never forget it.

My first big game bow kill was in 1964 hunting Fl. Stewart Ga. I killed a dry sow hog with recurve and Bear head.
