I don't know, well over a hundred. At least one with every rifle in the safe shown. My son's gun safe; all the guns in there but 3, passed down through me. My fire has pretty much burned down to embers, thought I'd go ahead and give them to him while he remains young and full of energy to use and appreciate them. Killed more with a little Sako mannlicher stocked .243 than anything else.
I do still call one rifle mine; a Remington model 725, .280 caliber, manufactured in 1958 only (in that particular caliber), only 1,300 some-odd in existence. It's about 95% in quality and he's gonna have to wait till I'm dead to get it.
Not all that many with a bow; 15 to 18 head, probably - mostly does. I didn't take up bowhunting till '04 at the age of 58. I did go last season for a week, coulda killed some does, but didn't want to have to clean one. Only one shooter buck made an appearance, and he wouldn't stop long enough to get shot. He was too busy running does. Might go this season or I might not. It's time for my boy to provide the venison. Packaged and frozen.
Oh... and I bought him the safe too, had it delivered. He thinks I've turned into a pretty good dad in my declining years and he don't seem to mind bringing me a couple packages of venison from time to time.

Including Axis and Muntjac? 6 Axis bucks, all free range with a rifle. The largest in my avatar. One Muntjac, also free range on my land in Harper, with rifle. About 30 whitetail with the gun, centerfire, slug gun and Muzzleloader. 17 with one gun. A 80's era Marlin 30/30 all notched up like Antler Collectors gun
About 15 with the bow, compound. I will be going out with the recurve this season to up the game.
My oldest son who is 25, has killed 48 deer. 43 with a bow. He was brought up in the life. I didn't start hunting until I was 21. He is a way better hunter than I will ever be.

Didn't start deer hunting seriously until I was 23.
