First big game animal was a spike whitetail at 14.

My first animal was definitely some little bird out of my moms bird feeder when on my 7th birthday with my Daisy BB gun... Nothing like hunting over a bait! Lol

My first big game animal was a 4x3 mulie buck shot with my dads old 30-06 hes wasnt with me cause he was hunting up north for wt that week , but old farmer Mr.Bohnet took me out it was very fun hunting with him! Home made lunches, candy , gum, hot chocolate, farm bacon & eggs for breakfast, i remember like it was yesterday!

My first game animal was a pheasant taken with my 870 12 gauge on a trip with my Dad when I was 14. My first big game animal was a mulie doe shot with my Rem. 700 30-06 when I was about 16 on a trip with a friend's Dad. My first animal was a gopher when I was 10 or 11, likely with my uncle's pump .22, brand I long since have forgotten.

First animal was a 123 inch 4x4 that i shot 3 years ago when i was 14 with a 243.. got it mounted since my dad had his first deer mounted which was a 121 inch 4x4 so he decided we should get mine mounted too.

First actual hunt was a honker taken with my first firearm at 14, 20 gauge winchester. First big game was a pathetic spiker mule i got drawn for in my first season. Took it with an unscoped 30-30 marlin lever

[RoscoeT]

Blue wing teal with a .410 single when I was 14.

My dad was strict on not shooting things you were not going to eat or that were not pests, IE. Skunks. Not until I moved to AB did I enjoy shooting gophers and magpies. About 25 years late.

My first "big game" animal was last year at the age of 19 years. It was a whitetail buck, gross score of 166. Not the biggest, but being my first one I was quite pleased. Got him shoulder mounted.

Never let someone else determine the value of your trophies.

The memory of the hunt is most important.

I have saved the wing feathers from my dog's first goose. Not a trophy by anyone's standard but mine.

[SHORTMAG]

If you pushed real hard...you could feel the lumps on his head ...I was 16..had Dads old "thutty-thutty"...Mannnnn...I was so proud.....tied him across the hood my Dodge Swinger and drove him around long enough that I nearly had him cooked!!...I can close my eyes any ol time at all and see him stumble and go down right after my shot!!!...That one is ETCHED for good!...

[magoonpointboy]

Lots of birds and squirrels with the Crossman 760. Then a Canada goose with a bolt action Mossberg 20 gauge at twelve. A whitetail doe with my new Marlin 30-30 when I was 15.
