RE: How many years to get to 20?
 

It took me 5 years to kill my first ten deer.

That was before i started thinning the herd. I plan on taking around 10 deer this fall.

RE: How many years to get to 20?
 

For me,

1 year hunting with a bow = 1 deer (not to bad i guess :))

6 years hunting with a gun = 1 deer (not pround of that [:@])

In my area of Ohio, i can only kill 2 deer. If i got down south i can kill an adittional 1 more. Only 1 may be a buck, and if i want to kill more than 3 i have to go to aurban area.

7 years for the 1st 10, 12 years to get to 20.

I have opportunities to shoot more but 3 or 4 per year is about right for my family. Anything above that I give away.

I have 11 Grandchildern and cant remember their full names all the time, this question makes my head hurt!

11 seasons to get to 12 with a bow.

RE: How many years to get to 20?
 

I'd have to check my records to see how long the 1st10 took me. But the last 10 only took 2 years:D
For a long time we were only allowed 1 deer/year. But now I'm up to unlimited as long as I keep buying the tags.

I average betweenthree to five deerper year and about twenty critters overall (Last year I hit 36. I really think it had a lot to do with the Enigma camo. Being exposed to the woods and yet invisible to wildlife made a huge difference. At this point, it's just a theory. But I think this camo is incredible. I look forward to gathering more solid evidence throughout '07. Results pending...)

Geez well since I mainly hunted PA (rifle) only, when I started and there was a1Buck a year limit. It took me 16 years to get 10. Then I hunted a couple other States and seasons and got to 20 in 22 years.

RE: How many years to get to 20?
 

If i remembercorrectly 6 yrs, (during rifle and muz. seasons)
but you have to look at variables like season length, bag limits, management practices, etc.
as it will likely depend on that also.

Sorry for the lack of clarity.....but I'm mainly just interested in Bowkills. Nothing against gun kills ....I'm just not a gun hunter.

Sorry, again.
