not a stupid question, but more than you could eat and more than you should kill in a year, shoot a few does along the way, i have killed almost 30 in a season, and am now ashmed of that fact, a good year for me is 5-10 deer, i like to kill at least one buck (scrub or whatever) and one nice one if possible, last year i killed 2 does with my bow year before that i killed 4 bucks and 7 does, we use deer for everthing, chilli, hamburger, tenderloins, cube steaks, you name it. 11 was really too many, 2 was not enough, 5-7 would probably do us great

the best thing for bama deer would be to thin the herd by killin some does, i can not for the life of me understand why some people who say they like deer meat to not kill some does, our hunting would be much better if the buck/doe ratio was a little less than 20/1 or worse[:@]

oh yea welcome to the forums johnny b, what part of bama
