Over the course of your entire bowhunting lifetime - what is your success rate of tagging at least one archery buck?

For example, I've been a licensed bowhunter since I was 15, and I've tagged at least onearchery buck every year but one.So, that's 15 seasons and 13 "successful" seasons.

13/15 = 87%

IT WILL BE IMPOSSIBLE TO HAVE MORE THAN 100%

And tell us what it is (personally) that explains why you have (or haven't) been as successful as some of the other guys.

Don't be embarrassed if your success rate seems low - the average success rate for a Pennsylvania bowhunter to tag a whitetail buck is just about 10%. We had 270,000 bowhunters afield with anestimated 27,000 bucks taken.

As another benchmark, our HNI contest had 490 entrants, with 130 bucks entered. That's a 26% success rate, on average.

My personal success rate probably a lot higher than average - and that's admittedlymostly attributable to shooting dink after dink after dink in my teenage years. I was happier than a pig in mud with a 4" spiker. LOL

EDIT: I voted wrong. There were 2 years that I got skunked in archery season.
