    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)

    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.

    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.
