[QUOTE="Hunter 257W, post: 4013731, member: 12277"] I didn't have any single event that got me into deer hunting. It was more of a gradual thing. I do recall very clearly the 1st deer I ever saw on our farm back in the mid 1970's. I was in my mid teens and had been out shooting blackbirds sometime in the Fall and when I came back out of the field into my Grandparent's garden, there were 3 does just inside the pasture beyond the yard. My jaw almost dropped to the ground. I started pestering my Father, who wasn't a hunter, right away for some kind of gun to deer hunt with. I didn't get one for several years and that just made me want to go that much more. I was already a rifle nut motivated mainly by sniping groundhogs from across big fields. Deer hunting was just another excuse to get and shoot more rifles. At that time, big antlers didn't really have much of an influence because NOBODY had even heard of the Boone & Crocket scoring system and ANY buck was something to be proud of. [/QUOTE]
