Default RE: How many years.........

Scott:

I think you and I both agree that 3.5 is "mature".

That being said.....

How many years did you bow hunt before you saw a mature buck from stand?

I was in my second season.....3 days into the season. I saw the second mature buck of the '06 season on Thanksgiving Day, that year.

How many years did you bow hunt before you had a mature buck in bow range?

Again......3 days into my second season.

How many years did you bowhunt before you shot and recoverd a mature buck?

December 9th of 2006......my second season.....1st full season.

Scott:

I often think about what the answer to these question would be if I'd started hunting deer with a bow as a young man. I have MANY luxuries that a lot of younger guys don't and didn't have (not necessarily monetarily). I'm quite certain beginning deer hunting at 40 has made things easier for me.

Another funny stat.....I've only seen 2. I killed them both.
