For research purposes... Keep it simple. Number of years bowhunting. Number of deer killed. Number of trophy bucks killed. (By trophy, i mean big/mature in your eyes...no details needed)
This will be 18th season bowhunting I would estimate I have killed around 30 deer with bow 4 bucks on the wall
11 years bowhunting. I estimate I have killed around 25 deer with a bow. I have only ever killed one 3.5 year old buck (trophy to ME).
Thats awesome Rob, I had no idea....seen a couple (maybe) on HNI over the years. Got any pic's of the other 10?
18th season, I think. I have no idea how many deer I've gotten. I don't pull the trigger much anymore, but when I was a kid, I used to buy and fill quite a few doe tags. That said, I haven't shot a doe in ages. 8 bucks hanging that were at least worthy of euromounts. A lot of those, I wouldn't consider to be true trophy caliber animals by my current standards, but they were top-end deer for where/when they came from.
12 seasons hunting. 13 killed I think, but most of those came when I was younger. Learned a little patience over the years. 3 on the wall, but only 1 was what most would consider "trophy" size.
1 season #2 coming up 2 deer no trophies, One in the sights for this season. Have to see if I can pull it off.
this will be my 29th year bow hunting. goodness , i cant give an exact kill count but i usually wack atleast 3 doe's a year and have been on a roll for the last 12 years for Bucks and all of them were trophys , mabe 120 kills if i had to guess probally alittle more if i really put some thought into it .
Well crap, I didn't realize I was only supposed to list bow kills. Make that 0 bow kills the two were with a 30-30 and a shot gun (12g Slug) This year is a total bow year. Now powder of any kind. Sorry about that guys.
