Does not matter how many deer a person kills a year to be considered a good hunter or not. Some of us have our set standards. I do not shot does I leave them for my city slicker neighbor's who use game cameras to scout and never set foot on the ground and never ever even see a buck except button bucks still with MaMa. I only will shoot a 8 point or better if I can only get one buck tag.
I have been hunting for nearly 55 years and all I have learned is put to use, and am not above learning new stuff.
But I do no own a game camera and I do put my feet on the ground 7 days a week 365 days a year hunting some thing. Except during a driving rain storm other than deer season.

Well, I shoot a couple of does every year and I'm a long ways from a "city slicker." I've never seen a set of antlers I can eat and the only reason I hunt these days is for meat. So for me, does work just fine since they tend to eat a little better than a buck. So I leave the bucks for those obsessed with antlers for the wall. To me they are just one more thing to dust or to throw away.

That was to make a point some people do not kill a deer because they have set stiff standards for them selves. Not that they are poor hunters.
In my area any green horn should be able to open their door and fill a doe tag.

For me it's all about getting your boot out there and getting some game. My Grand-dad taught me well, with his old time skill & knowledge. The new, modern tech is great, i use it, but it doesn't make up for skill.

Killing a deer or many deer can be easy, depending on where you live.
The mystery of this post remains... he through out a riddle and didn't come back yet. LOL
It could he's talking about equipment... maybe he has a 20yr old compound bow... which by todays standards is ancient technology, but back in the day was rocket science. Alot of things have changed in 20yrs, all across the board.

Where are you located Yoop? Just curious since I'm in Michigan too. I hunt in the Clare area and around Manistique. We've got deer but the numbers are down since those back to back brutal winters.

Killing deer, even good deer, IMHO is more about the spot than the skill set.
Seen too many idiots who score too often.
Some get multiple chances per season, flub a couple and then score.
I don't understand the mentality where a miss is OK. Sure it happens, but it should be a rare thing that burns the hunter's arse so bad he finds out why it happened and works to make sure it doesn't repeat.
