Hey guys, I've been reading the thread about What the top Five teams will be at the end of the season, and thepoint has been made that the winning team will likely be the one where several hunters on the team just flat out shoot a buck, since the belief is that less than a third of us will actually score on a buck.

With that said, and I believe it is correct, what has everyone's success rate been on bucks the last 3 years? This is what I posted on the mentioned thread. I'm not bragging, because I'm not a great hunter, just lucky with my location.

I've only been bow hunting here in Nebraska for the last two years and have shot 3 bucks. I'm not bragging, in fact it diminishes my success a little to say this, but where I hunt it is more a matter of when will I shoot a buck as opposed to 'if'. The buck to doe ratio is almost even, so calling and rattling works great. It's suburban, so they are accustomed to human scent and don't spook at it as readily. There are a lot (i've seen 4-6 this year) of decent (90"-100") eight pointers walking around with a smattering of 120 inchers thrown in for good measure. I guess there are some 140+ inchers out there, but I'm probably not a good enough hunter to either find them or get them close enough for a shot. I saw one last year that was that big, by my guess, but I set my stand in the wrong place and didn't clear a shooting lane to the path he traveled that day. I only saw him that once, in late October.
