On December 28, 1973 I killed my first deer, which was a good 7 point. After all these years deer hunting is still my only hobby.
That was probably a mighty fine deer for back then! I'm right there close with you. Killed my first in '78 I believe. Sure weren't many around back then, but just enough to get me hooked!
Congrats!
