not sure about how many deer I have killed but until this year, I had missed on all 4 bucks bigger than 3 points that I had shot at. Guess I had buck fever bad! All of the does, spikes, and 3 pointers had all dropped or not gone. Finally got my first two bucks this year with a new gun! Missed my only shot with a bow...probably pushed it a little for my first bow shot 40 yards just glad I missed.
