RE: How Many Deer Have You Harvested?
Over 300...
Now, I'm 53...We own our own farms and I started deer hunting by myself by the time I was 14...My dad would drop me off at one of the farms and tell me to protect the peanuts...My rifle, a 22-250...
I had killed 5 before I started deer hunting, with a .22 to the brain while squirrel hunting...We butchered our own cows and pigs and I had seen dad kill many pigs with a .22 to the brain from a .22 revolver...
Last year, we killed 46 on our 3 farms, I killed 8 does and 1 buck...I've never claimed to be a trophy hunter and hunting your own land and farming, you realize that the population has to be kept in check if you plan to raise a crop the following year...Frankly, I'd rather seen my hunting buddies kill a good buck then do it myself...
