Bow 3-4 years 1 Pronghorn Buck, 1 whitetail doe, and 1 whitetail buck
Gun another few years before that with another 4 or 5 kills.

Until this year, I have had zero interest in killing does, just never wanted to, with smaller bucks as well. I limited myself from early success, and tasty meat. From now on,I plan on a few does a year if all goes well.

I was thinking about this before the season started. IF I counted correctly before the season, my first buck this year was number 100, so that would mean I would have 106 whitetail kills total in 25 years of hunting. 1 with ML, 14 with shotgun, and the rest were archery kills. There have also been a couple of hogs, 1 bear, and a two rams as well with archery.

Enough to know I'm not a rookie, and enough to know I'm no expert! Each one has been a kick in the pants!

kickin buck and davidmil......impressive...very impressive...I pass a lot of deer up every year, probably 10-15 a year, mostly bucks, in fact I passed on 11 bucks this year, and only one doe, I shot every doe that came into bow range that I could. If wasn't a picky I could a lot more than 25 bow kills, but ain't no way I could have as many as you two...that's just sick awesome..86 bow kills....man I bet that has been a ride David...kickin buck...over 90 bow kills?? Geez dude....that is sick!!! awesome guys!

Well coming from such a limited tag state like PA my numbers are not that high. Seeing for more years than I can remember (27 bowseasons) and I've only owned 2 doe tags for PA in the last 9 seasons.

In 27 bow seasons I've probably tagged 20 bucks, 17 with a bow. My early years, recoveries came hard and I wish I had the internet. When it comes to does, probably another 20.
