RE: How many deer have you taken with a bow?
 

I' ve been bowhunting for over 20 years and the majority of them we were only allowed one deer (buck or doe) per season so I' m guessing between 20 and 30. There were years that ended with tag soup but there were also years within the last ten years that we could legally harvest a half dozen deer where the most I did was fill my freezer with three.

RE: How many deer have you taken with a bow?
 

Big Country, Youre right I think more than half are born with P&Y racks. I will see between 5 and 10 P&Y deer a year getting them in range is a different story. It helps alot when you get to hunt next to a game perserve that is 1800 acers that dosent get any hunting presure only trail walkers. The state took all that land for a bike trail.

RE: How many deer have you taken with a bow?
 

I started bowhunting when I was 14 years old with a bear recurve. I hunted from the ground, and went three years without getting a deer. I then bought a pro-line compound bow, and the second season I hunted with it I hit a big doe, and she got away. I sold the bow and gave up bow hunting for 21 years til my wife decided it was time for me to expand my hunting opportunities, and bought me a golden eagle pro formula bow. In the five years that I' ve hunted with that bow I' ve probably passed on 30 rack buck, either because the shot wasn' t perfect or it wasn' t the buck that I wanted. And I' ve killed 3 doe. I' ve also started passing on doe. If the shot isn' t picture perfect, I don' t take it! The modern bow equipment is so advanced compared to 20 years ago that I' ve found a new love, and I' m not looking back!

RE: How many deer have you taken with a bow?
 

I have been seriously bowhunting for 3 years now, prior to that I predominantly gun hunted, and have killed 8.

RE: How many deer have you taken with a bow?
 

I' ve been bowhunting for about ten years and have killed about twenty whitetails and one very large black bear. I have come very close on turkeys a few times, but haven' t managed to make it over that hurdle yet. It sure has been fun trying though. [8D]

RE: How many deer have you taken with a bow?
 

3 seasons with a bow, one kill. Got a new bow to replace the 20 year old Black Bear I got my first kill with. Man what a difference, I let a lot of deer walk with the old bow that I could have easily taken with my new bow. Man I am itching for next season.

RE: How many deer have you taken with a bow?
 

It seems that there are a lot of us with under 15 deer. I am choosing to take that as growth in bowhunting rather than a lack of skills. Keep getting others involved.

RE: How many deer have you taken with a bow?
 

2nd year. Still working on my first.

RE: How many deer have you taken with a bow?
 

It took me a couple of seasons to get my first, but since then I have gotten at least 1 every season. I' m working on breaking into double digits.
