I quit counting at 40. No idea!

I couldn't begin to recount them all. Killed my first one at age 7, tagged out every year after that for many years. When I was about 13 the MLD thing had taken off. I'd gained a fair reputation for being able to shoot skin and trail so I got invited to many doe trips. My favorites were in North Tx up in Baylor Co. I killed 12 on a big wheat field the first morning.
I was guiding out in McCulloch Co on a corporate place for a while. We had 176 doe tags to fill. I killed 34 in 2 weeks with my bow. I wasn't making much money and shells were expensive. I could sharpen broadheads if they didn't hit a rock.
Several states, many properties, LOTS AND LOTS of bullets and arrows. I never shot a deer and intentionally let it spoil. 95% of them I skinned, quartered, and processed with my mom. The other 5% were donated. Manard Co's needy were well taken care of between 2006-2008. As many of them as I've shot; bow/rifle/muzzleloader etc, I still get a kick out of it. I can watch them all day. It doesn't matter if it's a doe or a 160" buck. I'm cool as a cucumber until I decide to shoot. I still get the shakes, I still have to control my breathing, I still have to go through my checklist. I'm sitting here now jonesing for the fall!
