Big Buck Bowhunters-survey
1-How many hours did you hunt-estimated? me-120
2-How many shooter Bucks (in your mind) did you SEE? me-5
3-How many lesser Bucks did you see ? me-9
4-How many shots at the trophy bucks ? me-none
5-How many of the lesser Bucks could you have shot at? me-ALL
6- at what yardage? me-less than 20 yards
7-How many Bucks are you allowed in your state Bowhunting me-ONE
8-did you shoot at any does? me-ONE
9-How many Does did you shoot at? me-ONE
10-How many does do you think you saw within Bow range me-over 30
Just something for you all to think about & lets not get technical on this one. I believe (not really sure) the average (guided & unguided runs around 10-12% success) for Bucks 125 & over. Lets not put a number on the rack-just what YOU feel is a trophy for you & your area. Pic is my Doe. 25 yard shot-dropped in 25 yards-donated to needy family.
