RE: how many years
techniclly I would have to say my second season,although my first season consisted of just one bowhunt,the offseason I got serious about it and bought a new bow and setup and that year I killed4 deer with my bow,3bucks and 1 doe.My first buck ever was with a bow and up until that time only gun hunted,I was 22 yrs old when I started bowhunting.I still gun hunt but I have killed more bucks with my bow than with my gun.
