Thinking back over the past 33 years of Bowhunting and to the best of my memories I believe the game is still winning. Here is how it broke down for me as good a this ole brain can remember.
Deer - 10 kills, 12 misses and 2 lost (lost don't count as kills)
Hogs - 2 kills, 4 misses
Bear - 1 kill
Rabbits, squirrels and other assorted small game - many kills, many misses.
Guess that's why it is still so much fun after all these years. It was rough on the ole deer front until the early 90s when I was 7-0-2. I hit 9 deer in a row and all of them were good shots or so they seemed. The two I lost were both late evening shots with light rain and the only two I ever shot with a bow in the evening, so you don't see me hunting much in the late evenings and never in the evenings and light rain. I generally quit and hour and a half before dark and it might have cost me a lot of shots over the years, but I don't want to go through losen another one.
So I've spilled my guts, how are the rest of you doing...............
