The reason I asked is famed hunter Mitch Rompola says he killed his first buck at 9 yoa with a bow, which was the Missouri state record.
In all the talk about Mitch’s potential world record buck in 1998 his trustworthiness is discussed often. But seldom is the claim that at 9 yoa killing a record buck much less any deer is brought up.
I just wanted to ask the OP question without having “the rest of the story” taint the question and derail the answers.
