Interesting Statistic.....

RE: Interesting Statistic.....
Last year....I "averaged" a kill just over every 9 hunts. So far, this year.....it's just under every 7. Who knows where it'll end up? I certainly don't count on anything.

I usually run that satistic up. If I start the begining of Oct and I usually kill my deer the first two weeks of Nov I'm hunting at least 25 to 30 days. Of course that is buck only and only allowed 1. I hunt 6 days a week, rarely missing a day...
Now we don't know if that statistic is in hours....or if it's just counting as a day if you only spend an hour in the field.

RE: Interesting Statistic.....
Sounds like a reasonable number. But, I wonder how the heck anyone can even come up with a stat like that. Whoare they polling? What about the thousands of bowhunters not being accounted for in that stat? It would be an interesting stat to see if EVERY bowhunter was accounted for. Seems like a shot in the dark number to me.

They apparently haven't interviewed me...I hunted for 8 years before I scored on a deer. Definately, like the 400th day out I finally killed a deer.

My friends and i have definately helped that statistic in getting up to 20 hunts...we all have yet to shoot a deer...they have shot at deer, and i am too damn picky with my shots
