My first weapon was a Marlin 336 in 30-30 but my first sucessful deer hunt was accomplished with a bow! I was a greenhorn bowhunter and was amazed at how many more deer I was able to see during bow season here in Missouri. Well it did'nt take long for a doe to come into range and I was able to control my nerves and the shakes and make a nice shot! Needles to say I was hooked for life! I much prefer to take my game with a bow rather than a rifle but I am still a diehard gunhunter, I have taken all my best bucks during gun season. A nice 11 pointer last year fell to my custom model 700 in 338-06. My most memorable bowhunt took place in New Brunswick in 1999. I took a nice black bear at just 15 yards! Man was my heart pumping for that one! Someday maybe I'll get a digital camera and I'll be able to post pix of my mouted critters.
