I think this is kind of a goofy question. There are so many variables that I don't really think there is such thing as an "average" hunter. The state regulations, land you hunt, deer density, hunter density, management approach, time you have, type of hunting a guy does, family size, etc. are all factors. As guys have already said, there were years when I was younger and the density was so high in my part of Wisconsin that we needed to knock down a lot of does. Sometimes 6 or 7 a year by myself. Now that my land is in balance and I have a family of five, I usually only shoot a buck and two does. I guess it's created discussion, but I don't really think you can average out all hunters across the country and get a number that means anything.
