I guess I really should be thankful that I have been so lucky--seeing as many deer.
I started hunting at age 12 and am now pushing 38.(I stopped at age 21 during college and med school, but picked up bowhunting 2 years ago) Originally a typical Pa rifle hunter, one or two days and done, but without ever bagging one. I was lucky enough to arrow a doe on New Years day this year, which fueled the fire even more. I now realize that it is an extreme learning curve, and shouldn't be so hard on myself, but being a type a personality--I need to be an expert last year!!
