RE: How many hours....
I had an exceptional year (for me) with "mature" buck encounters.....
I had 5 shot ops (2 private, 3 public) this fall up until I hurt myself in early November.
I think I had logged around 150 hours on stand up to that point... resulting in 1:30 hours....
I would say my average years are 1:75 range on shot ops.... Some years better some worse [&:]
