I try not to shoot them because I don't want to burn my any sex tag on one and I love to see them grow and develop. That being said, not everyone has the luxury of a family farm that no one in the family hunts anymore.
When my 14 y/o brother goes out next season for the first time, I will be just as excited as he will be if he shoots a wall-hanger or a doe. First deer are special.
Sorry to hear about your dad. I know how hard it is growing up without one. On the bright side, you have an uncle that takes you hunting. Nobody in my family hunts anymore and I had to teach myself.
