i've been at it for 6 years. I could have probably gotten one by now but I want it to be a great shot and so far no real great shots. my only bowkill to my name is a fox squirrel.

Been huntin since i was able to tag along...been bow hunting since 2000 (i'm 28), so 8 years...Killed a 146 gross 9 pointer first year out. passed on a 150 inch 3 1/2 year old 9 pointer i got a picture of in 07, and got him 11/4/08...he blew up into a 4 1/2 year old 178 6/8 gross with 17 scoreable points. I try real hard not to take anything less than 145 inches and younger than 3 1/2 yrs old. love waxin does too!

Hmmmm, Been hunting about 20+ years and picked up a bow 8 years ago when gun kills became less challenging to me. The 1st deer I ever saw with the bow in hand, went in the freezer; a doe, with a used bow that didn't even fit me right.

My 1st buck was a tall spike 2 years later and my best was a 6pt non typical 3 years ago has been my best with the bow.

At least a doe a year has made the freezer.

well, i got a 15 pound roy rogers recurve bow when i was 8 years old. christmas morning of 1955. lots of rabbits (and the occasional cat) wished they never met me. lol

Steve, you had a Roy Rogers Bow? Awesome. I had a pair of his six shooters strapped to my hip that I 'shot' countless ducks with when out in the marshes with my Dad.

As for archery, biggest buck to date had 10 points and scored about 115. I started in 1996 - let's see, this would be my 13th season.
