I'm a meat hunter. I normally will let spikes and fork horns walk, but here in Connecticut, the deer population is so nuts, that you can take 4 deer with a bow 2 either sex and 2 does in most of the state. in Zones 11 and 12 basically the entire coast line, and Fairfield county, Bow hunters on private land can take an additional 2 in January. haven' kept score but there is an earn a buck, and replacement tags in those 2 zones as well. If one were to hunt all the legitimate seasons (firearms included) the total is in the neighborhood of 14 deer a season! Needless to say, finding mature deer in southern CT is not a good bet. Don't get me wrong, there are a some but extremly few and far between.
