I'd say once I broke the code. 3 seasons for 10 and I guess 2 more after that till I killed 20... I was averaging around 5-9 deer a year just with the bow then add another 1 or 2 with the rifle then another 1 or 2 with the muzzle loader... Some years I've killed 9 or 10 deer in a season... Most of these being does...
