How many deer have you killed?
I got to thinking the other day, about how many big game animals Ive killed, and how many died within sight, or within a few minutes. How many went far, and even need to be finished off when found, and how many were never recovered.
I know some will perceive this to be fodder for the antis, but Im curious, so heres my question:
1) How many deer, bear ,hogs, elk etc. have you killed total?
2) How many probably took longer than 30 minutes to expire ,or had to be shot again when found?
3) How many were probably mortally wounded, but never recovered?
Mine-
I estimate Ive made around 45 kills on mostly whitetails, a handful of hogs, and 1 black bear.
5 took longer than 30 minutes to expire, and a few had to be shot again when found.
3 probably died at some point, but were never recovered.
I figure I have only an 80% DRT record, and 94% recovery record and I am dedicated to improving it every year.
