RE: HOW MANY BOW KILLS DO YOU HAVE? AGE? YEARS?
I am 38 years old. Only been bowhunting for around4 years, My second night in a stand I shot a fair six pointer. Kinda wish I woulda let him pass but I had the new guys jitters. Next I shot a nice doe the next year. Then my 3rd year I shot a 152 gross 143 net whitetail that had 11 points. That is a story in itself. I also got a huge Iowa fed doe that year. Then last year I got another six pointer that I thought had a deformed rack and just wanted to cull him from the herd, I was wrong he had 1 side busted off. OOPS. So I guess Ihave 5 deer in 4 years not bad I guess. But I do live in Iowaand you can't spit here in western Iowa without hitting a deer.

I'm 53 andcrotchety, but not as old a fart as davidmil.[8D]
Got my first bow when I was 3 and started 'hunting' with it when I was 6. And yes, I considerstalking cottontails in the half acre veggie garden behind the farm house 'hunting.' Big time safari for me when I was 6.
Over the years I'vebow shota few deer, more hogs andlikely severaltruckloads of cottontails, jackrabbits, squirrels, prairie dogs, raccoons, possums, coyotes, foxes, bobcats, dove, quail, duck, rattlesnakes, copperheads, water moccasins, carp, gar, even a couple of snapping turtles... Practically all with a recurve or longbow. Never really fell in lovewith a compound for hunting. It never occurred to me to keep a running tally. Even if I had, I would've run out of fingers and toes years ago.

Been hunting for 22 years and have shot somewhere between 25-30 whitetails...3/4 of which with a bow. 4 bucks to date with two of those being in rifle.
