2008 I shot a 142" 10pt
2009 I shot a 128" 11pt
Those were my two largest bucks. Many smaller ones before that.
2010 didn't shoot a buck but passed on many waiting for something at least 130". Saw 5 or 6 shooters but didn't seal the deal!!

I finally got one this year, Nov. 4th. That's him in my avitar, he was aged between 9-12yrs.old. As I said back in Oct. I have passed on a number, taken a few does, but this is my 1st bow buck, and only my 2nd in my hunting history. hopefully it will change from here on out.

I had shot one when I was 15 and one when I was 16. Then I went on a 3 year drought and shot one last year and am at 2 this year going for 3.

Never shot a buck with my bow in my life. Got 2 does last year for venison. I quit gun hunting 3 years ago for bow hunting. I have several 140s on the wall from gun hunting but bow hunting has put the challenge back in the game for me - just my opinion
