One Buck w/bow - One mature doe - shotgun.
Our hunting party shot the same number of does we always do (5 or 6) on 180 acres but only 2 bucks this year.
Still not bad - very close to average - usually we shoot 3 or 4 bucks - last year 5 bucks - 7 does.(last year was above average harvest). We still pass up ALOT of deer here.
We do think that the deer population was down from last year - which is a GOOD thing as far as I'm concerned 40+ deer/square mile is too much on the habitat.

I had a great year, saw 94 deer from my stands took 8 shots got 7 deer passed on 42 shots bow hunting only.
Only saw 14 bucks Largest being a 7pt, I hunted very hard almost every day, and every hour I could spare.
Also my hunting buddy Don got 3 deer 2 does and a 4pt. Spending time with friends doing what we live for I couldn't have asked for a better season.

For the last 5 seasons:
2003 = one (7pointer)
2002 = one (doe)
2001 = 0
2000 = 0
1999 = one (4 pointer)
My son-in-law
2003 = 0
2002 = 0
It's a good day of hunting just to see a deer on state land during gun season.
