Well, Im 24 now and also the only first generation hunter in my immediate family (living anyway). I too landed my first buck this season and he might as well been a 30 point because I was proud that I got to taste "the fruits of my labor". I grew up in the suburbs of Dallas/Ft. Worth and never hunted a day in my life till i hit my late teens and wanted to try it. Lemme say there is NOTHING like the rush that comes when you see that deer come into your FOV and line it up in the crosshairs! That rush alone will keep me coming back. Now I just have to get that stupid hunters education out of the way
Congrats on yours as well, and don't let the veteran hunters give ya too hard a time they started somewhere too! I am proud of my "4 point" spike (he had four little bumps on one of the spikes haha)
If your interested, here is a link to my post and pics
