Washington State only allows us to shoot one deer a year unless you're lucky enough to draw a second (antlerless only) deer tag.

I some how got really fortunate this year and took three deer. One with the bow, one with the rifle, and one with the Ol' Finter. Apearently Santa didn't have anything to do with checking the lists and seeing who was gonna be allowed to get a deer this year.:D:D

I normally get 0-1 deer a year though.

I took 12. We shoot alot of does off our place for management purposes. Only took 2 bucks one 8point and a button which was mistaken for a doe the rest were does. I have a lot of people i know who want meat so it never goes to waste.

I've taken 7 in a season. This year, I took 6. My family (including 3 teenage boys) easily eats 5 per year and I gave one away to a friend. I could have taken several times that many, but I won't shoot a deer if my family or someone else doesn't need it.

Last year I only took one,a spikehorn,but the year before I took a button buck with the bow and three does with my shotgun. All together I have taken 11 my whole life(7 years of hunting). My biggest was a 6 point which was my second seer ever.

I took 11 last year in SC, Georgia, and Alabama. 3 8's, 1 9point, a 6 and 4 point that were 180 lbs.( so they were older deer that most would consider management deer).The balance were does. All deer were and are being eaten by my family , both immediate and at large.4 of the bucks were taken by bow, and 1 doe. This was a season that goes from 8-15(SC) to January 31(AL)I get to hunt fairly close to home in Georgia, but travel also to SC, and AL.

RE: How many did ya shoot?
 
so far i've taken one deer. but that was with a rifle. in ky though in the area i hunt you can take one buck and an unlimited number of does but i think i might try for 2 this year. maybe 3 if i'm really lucky ;)

Illinois has unlimited over-the-counter Antlerless-Only tags so you can stack as many Does as you want. 10+

Moose75 07-31-2005 07:11 PM

RE: How many did ya shoot?
 
I killed 29 in one year, in Al. you can kill 3 a day 73 days a year if you are under the QDM program. I could have killed 219 but I held myself under control. That was 5 years ago sense then I haven't killed more than 15.

PABowhntr 07-31-2005 07:26 PM

RE: How many did ya shoot?
 
Four...a few years back...one buck and three doe....all my tags that year. I won't do that again anytime soon. Too many does being shot in my area over the last few years and it is becoming increasingly difficult to see deer on most of my outings.

WV Hunter 07-31-2005 07:30 PM

RE: How many did ya shoot?
 
I think the most I killed was 7 or it could have been 8. I don't keep track. I hunt 2 states, and have more tags available than I could ever use. I usually shoot about 4-5 per year, unless some friends ask for a deer or two.

Cornfed_IL 07-31-2005 08:32 PM

RE: How many did ya shoot?
 
2 deer- doe & 8pt.

silentassassin 08-01-2005 06:22 AM

9 is the most I have ever killed in one season.

Bees 08-01-2005 06:43 AM

one season I took 4 with my bow. One in September, one in October, one in November and one in December. that same year I took another with a shotgun.

Mattiac 08-01-2005 06:46 AM

RE: How many did ya shoot?
 
I avg. abouttwo a year with the bow, and for the past couple years its been three deer a year. I cant remember, but I dont think Ive ever shot 4 in one season. I wouldnt have the need for that much meat anyway, and its expensive just to "donate" them around here. $65 for each deer donated![:@]

If donating the meet to HHH was free, Id take more. (providing I wasfortunate enough to take more deer)

4 in one year with a bow.

RE: How many did ya shoot?
 
Most I've ever gotten in 1 year is 3... 1 w/ the bow, 1 w/ the shotgun, 1 w/ the 'ole smoke pole.

RE: How many did ya shoot?
 
I took 4 one year but usually shoot 2-3, last year was slow with very little time to hunt ended up getting one big doe.

You've listed 1 - 10. What happened to 11 - 24 or 25 - 49?

I've shot over 25 quite a few years. Since January I've shot 7 already. The most I've shot in a 4 hour period is 5. That's a lot of dressing and dragging, so I try to limit it to 2 a day. Just Saturday night I shot a 150# doe. Our properties are so infested with deer that it's not unusual to seeherds of 20 to 30 deer.

I find at least 10 to 15 deer per year on just one 250 acre parcel which were hit by cars. The antis and many on the 'fence' just don't realize how many dead deer/road kills they DON'T see!!!

All the meat is used by my family or any of many different needy families I have on my 'list'.

Well, I guess my signature says it all.

RE: How many did ya shoot?
 
The most I shot was 8, when we were trying to thin some does. Started to see some improvement in rack size after about 5 yrs of doing this. We ended up losing this lease when racks were improving due to the death of the land owner, but hopefully the people that bought the land are seeing decent bucks.

shaftnem 08-02-2005 02:45 AM

RE: How many did ya shoot?
 
28. All does. Killed 12 with my bow and the rest with a rifle. Last year I killed 20. 17 does and3 bucks all over 4 1/2 years old. I took 6 of the does and 1 buck with my bow. The rest were rifle kills.

RE: How many did ya shoot?
 
Most in 1 year was 11 but I'm in a suburban archery deer management program. Family can eat about 6-7 and friends got the others.

RE: How many did ya shoot?
 
Maryland has an unlimited doe season,and I'm a member of the Hunters feeding the Hungry program,so most of the deer I killed last year went to them...Bob
