RE: Total deer harvested???
 

So I gather from these numbers that killing white tails is relatively easy in most states, sort of like shooting rabbits or upland game? I mean, as compared to mule deer seasons that allow only one buck and the majority of hunters don't fill their tag.

I've been hunting for 14 years in Minnesota.
1- rifle
1- shot gun
10- bow
All 12 have been great experiences! I can't thank my old man enough for getting me in to hunting and the outdoors!! We have also started to keep a journal of our harvest, it should be fun to go back and read through it with my kids one day, and, god willing, have my dad go over it with his grandchildren!!

Good luck to everyone!!
Is it October yet?

well the good Doctor has never really kept up with a total but I know I have taken 64 with my bow and not sure how many with a rifle but I took 13 last year if thats any indiction ...but I am not sure that really means much as we have a very libral hunting season and bag limit in Alabama.

28 Whitetail deer in six season's 6 bucks 22 does.

17 mule deer bucks in 17 season's The last nine years only drew a tag three times because of number of points need to draw. Colorado

I can see where the guys that say they have killed hundreds ofwhitetail deer can be realistic especially in places that can kill one a day for the whole season. But not mule deer if you've killed a 100 mule deer you be a poacher.

Haven't really kept track. Been hunting for 10 years including the upcoming season. Last year I got 3 with my shotgun. Have shoot 2a couple of the years out, and got skunked my first two years at it. So probably under 20.
