Ran out of fingers to count them on...so more than 10 but less than 33...cows, calves and bulls

Now ask me how many tree limbs, bushes and bones I've killed  :help:

Two raghorns with a rifle.  But they don't count
I can afford to shoot most any bow I like.  And I like Primal Tech bows.

Used a 65# Bighorn recurve, a 58# Robertson mystical longbow and a 52# ACS. As my age went up, my bow weight went down.

Dave makes it look easy. I think he makes his bow with little more juju than what he makes us!

It's really simple. Just don't take those borderline shots. Tomorrow is another day.
