Well I've been bowhunting about 12 years now, give or take a year or two. I can't tell you what my longest streak without a deer kill is because keeping that precise a track of numbers just isn't that important to me. Just like I can't remember which year, exactly, that I started bowhunting. But I haven't shot a deer with a bow for probably 3 years. I've had plenty of opportunities but just haven't pulled back on them for several reasons:
1)Making a kill just isn't as important to me anymore. At least not just any kill
2) I've started passing up deer for opportunities at a "good" deer, not exactly a book trophy but a decent buck by my standards.
3) I've had lack of facilities to store meat and my son's illness limited time out.

Now that I'm in my new house and have a freezer I plan on taking some does out of the herd behind my house with a bow. I just have to decide when. Early in the season I figure it's a good time to get a decent buck while he's in his summer patterns still, then all the mast in my yard comes ripe (pears, apples, chestnuts) and the deer are pouring down the mountain to my yard, so I think I can get a shot at a hungry decent sized buck. Then it's the rut so I don't shoot the does because they may lead a buck by. After that sightings get scarce. I wish we could shoot two deer a day like the eastern part of the state can. It would make it easier for me to decide.
