I'm 49 and have been hunting for about 35 yrs. I've been fortunate enough to have taken a lot more deer than the yrs I've been hunting, thanks to states that have generous bag limits like Va and NY state. Out of those yrs of hard hunting, I've really only taken 2 what I would call "wall hangers" but every one of them have been a challenge and I'm grateful for each of them. Hope all the younger hunters out there can say the same thing in the yrs to come!
