I shot my first deer when I was 9 years old. I thought it was a doe, and it turned out to be a button buck. It could have been a new world record and I wouldn't have been any prouder. 40 yards, Remington model 7, iron sights. Killed in Douglas county on our old place off hwy 166, on the Annewakee creek.
Spike in. Pike county Ga. near Molena.
I was 15 . It was 1980
7.5x55 Swiss rifle.

My first was a spike buck on our family farm in Carnesville, Ga in 1999. I was 11 and sitting with my dad. I used a 1970 Marlin 30-30 my grandfather had given me.
Wilkes Co., October 1982. Slug out of an H&R Topper single shot 20 GA.
That just aint right lol
Oct 1973, doe in Henry county,Marlin Glenfield 30-30.Shot a spike later that season at Clark Hill WMA. 47 years ago.
First one was a spike buck that bounced off the grill and hood of my Ford Fairmont.
I used a boy's axe to finish him off after a brief chase in the woods by flashlight.
Second one was taken with a 1979 Buick Riviera. I bent up a bunch of stuff on the undercarriage that time. Deer hair and guts all over the exhaust system-- smelled nasty for the next 300 miles.
It wasn't until a decade later, when I came to know another lawyer with a bunch of land out in the boondocks, that I got to shoot a deer with a rifle.

Mine was a doe, 2009 in Bartow county
I had a neighbor (RIP) who after retiring went back to work delivering the Atlanta Journal. He did that on the rural route for 20 years.
He told me in that time that he had hit 13 deer while delivering his papers and I have no reason to doubt him.
