Default Trad Kills?

How many of you have ever taken a big game animal with traditional gear, and how old were you when you at the time? I know I have killed five deer with my bighorn recurve (all while I was in high school). When I got to college I didnt have the time to practice enough so I went to compound bows. Now that I am graduating I think i am going back to trad....

We had nothing but (what we now call) trad gearas I was growing up and shot a recurve till 1978. Went to purchase a new bow in 78 and could not even find a recurve, they had to be special orderd, so I bought my first compound. Some where in the mid 80's I picked up a Super Kodiak T/D and shot it extensively for a few years, But since then I am what you woud call a Flip Flopper! What everfills my mood.
A few recurve pictures.

I was 20 years old when I shot my 1st animal with my recurve, it was a black bear in Minnesota. Since making the switch 13 years ago I've had nothing but awesome luck so far with my recurve. Here's a few pics...
