RE: Do number of deer kills confirm thorough skills?
Lots of deer killed does NOT mean you have great skills. If you have the opportunity to hunt several states, and spend LOTS of time in the woods, your gonna get more deer.
While most of the professional hunters (Adams, Keller etc) have damn good skills....learned from spending MONTHS of the year hunting (vs. a week for me this year)...the number of animals killed does not mean you have skill...doesn't mean you don't....all it means is that you killed a lot of deer.
