    This thread is an attempt to research a conversation a friend and I had.

    What do your largest 5 archery bucks score? (list up to 5 bucks, if you dont have 5 archery bucks (no guns) list what you do have) Also, figure out the average score for the up to 5 bucks you listed .

    List whether they were from public or private land.

    Also, list you current age.

    Thanks!

    Mostly in a treestand
    Rounded to nearest inch....

    1. 106
    2. 106
    3. 103
    4. 98
    5. 91

    Avg. = 101"

    I'm 45, and I live in the triad area of NC. That's two 2.5yr olds (98 & 91)l; two 3.5yr olds (106's) and one 4.5yr old (the 103).
    All private grounds. I'd have to drive over an hour to get to public land.

    If you don't mind me asking, why age? Why not the number of years archery hunting? Or both?

    One problem being, there are 3 blacktails, a pronghorn, and a whitetail included there. :D I've been at this for 5 years or so, and honestly can't say i've been the most dedicated whitetail hunter around...if I cared more or took more initiative in it, I'd be more successful I'm guessing, I just can't bring myself to be wrapped up in it like I should be. I like other forms of hunting, fishing, and my social life too much to be 100% about bowhunting whitetails, but I'll be the first to admit it too.
