Bowhunted 32 years....not sure how many killed but I have never killed more than 4 in any one season, its usually 2-3. My family only eats 2 deer a year and anything extra goes to landowners/friends. I pass up a heck of a lot of deer each season. The first few years of bowhunting we were allowed only 1 permit per season.
Firearm: hunted sporadically 3 different years with a shotgun or muzzleloader when much younger. Never killed a deer with a firearm.

I don't know my exact numbers either. Over 24yrs...roughly
Bow - 30+
Gun - 40+
Probably 75% of those have been does, by choice. I pass at least 10 bucks each year during bow season...and way more does. To me its not about bragging rights or impressing anyone. I just enjoy being out there and getting a few each year...which is why I've never really kept track. Sometimes I wish I had, just so I could go back and look at my seasons.I do have alot of pics though.
The only number I know for sure is my son who just turned 11 has taken 4 deer in the past 3 years...and those have been some of the funnest hunts of my life.
