RE: Do number of deer kills confirm thorough skills?
I would have to say sometimes, and not all thime.
If a hunter is killing (not wounding) large number of deer on a consistant basis, then he must be doing something right.
However, there are hunters out there who will only shoot trophies, and let a lot walk.
I'm kind of in the middle, I will shoot deer to put them in the freezer, but only as much as I can eat. Those are mostly does though. I ussually won't shoot a buck under eight points. This year, I didn't get a buck, but did get three does.
