RE: Who as actually taken a deer with a bow?
 
Alot,a whole lot.But if you don't live in Maryland,it might be hard to understand.Unlimited bag limits on does,good bag limits on bucks.Top that off with 6-8 quality hunting spots within 10 miles of my frount door,it's no wonder why I can't wait for the bow season.
I average between 10 -20 deer with a bow a season(no kidding).My hunting partner averages about the same.Some of the landowners refer to whitetails as "forrest rats",so they are more than happy to see them dragged out of the woods.
I might add a couple of things here.First off,We scout the woods we hunt,we know the land.Our eqiupment is in top condition(bows,stands,clothes,ect.),and we don't stop shooting just because bowseason is over.
It never ceseus to amaze me just how many people who call themselves bowhunters don't even pick their bow up till just a few days before the season starts.If you don't believe me,just ask Len(Macrotech)in Maryland,I'll bet he had 30-40 bows to tune from guys just like what I'm talking about...Bob

Lost count a few years back but I say I've taken somewhere between 25 and 30 deer with my bow.

I average 2-3 per year in archery season. 5 bucks the last 5 years with a bow and countless doe over the past 10 years of my bowhunting career.

Big game include whitetails...countless......a bull elk, black bear, coyote and then we get into small game and gamebirds.
