I'm 24, didn't start deer hunting till I was 17. I have taken 8 deer. 2 bucks, one was a nice 8, the rest were does. All with shotgun. DOn't get to many tags here in Western NY. Usually, 1 buck and 1 doe. I wish the season was longer too. It only goes from mid Nov to mid Dec. Don't bow hunt, I do a lot of pheasant and turkey hunting in the fall.

Just curious does anyone know why some states have such a longer season than others? I can understand the bag limit differences but why the different season lengths?

Lets hear the real number DD??

I have been deer hunting and actually carrying a rifle since I was 16. I'm 32 which is 16 years and 1 year, I took 2 deer. I guess that makes 17, unless you count when I backed people up, which would probably be 5 or 6more. I would say a total of 22 or 23 with 8 of them being bucks and only 2 that were mountable, 120-135 range. I did harvest another bigger buck once, but his rack was so messed up from fighting that I didn't think that it was worth the money.

Been deer hunting in Michigan for about 43 years (take out 2 for military) probably 60-65 deer 30 of those with bow and rest with rifleor shotgun, none w/ muzzleloader usually have tags filled. Many years ago you could only take 1 deer per year and it had to be a buck (that's why antler quality was so poor for many years) first spike anybody saw- bang its down. Really only 2 mountable heads through that time. Have gone to the U.P. in previous years and shot 2 with bow and 2 with rifle in three or four days.

BJR your total sounds like the most realitic on here so far ...and if I gave you my totals there would beone of these self proclaimed Deer Cops on here whowould accuse me of night hunting, poaching, hunting over bait, out of season or using some sort of nucular device ... as for someone who is 24 and killed 91 deer thats amazing ... if he killed his first deer at 10 that means he was killing 6.5 per year every year ..or if he took his first deer at 14 he has killed an average of 9.1 deer every year ... hes just a natural born killer

Here in ohio the Bag limits are low. I live in the north western part and you can only kill one a year for the most part, but this year they raised it to two, but in southern ohio you can get three. In my county I think their was only 500-600 deer killed all of last year with that said I started hunting when I was 9, my faimlynever hunted so it was walking in the dark for me and dad. shot my first deer when I was 18 and now am 29 and I think I have shot nine or ten, I know for sure I have five bucks just not sure four or five does.
