			I started hunting in 89 or 90.  Before that "big game" was birds and chipmunks with an air rifle (one crow sat long enough for me to take him down - that was a big day).  My early hunting career was a little unorthodox: I shot a deer before I ever got a rabbit or squirrel.  Being in the midwest with a high population, we were limited to slug guns and muzzleloaders with a handful of pistol rounds being legal at the time as well (only 5 I believe).  1st deer was taken with a smoothbore 16g slug gun.  I've been really blessed to take quite a few deer since then, along with a few turkeys and a bunch of small game.
