How many yrs did it take you to kill first public land buck?
Just wondering how many years it took you to kill your first public land buck with a BOW?
I have never killed a buck on public with a bow and 2013 will be my 3rd year. I passed up one basket rack and missed another.

Re: How many yrs did it take you to kill first public land b
Took me 4 years to get my first buck. Ended up not even doing it in my home state of WI. Killed a spike buck in Ottawa National Forest in the UP opening day of bow season Oct. 1 1994.
The following year I killed a decent 9pt in WI and then a string of smaller bucks until I raised my standards about 10 years ago.
Every deer I ever killed has been on public land.

None yet. I could have killed two though, but I passed both. One last season and one during the 2011 season, which was my first year hunting public ground.

haven't killed a public land buck yet. I don't hunt public very often though. In fact didn't hunt it at all last year. Usually only 2-3 times a year.

I think I voted wrong. I shot a 5 pointer with my gun the third year of hunting public land...but it took me a lot longer to connect with a bow on public land.

I've never shot a bow buck on state owned public hunting. I don't hunt it much. Last time was probably around 1987.
