I have taken over 80 with a bow , I had killed my 200th in 2003,I also took that one with a bow it scored 160. Since then I have taken only 4 more. Because now I am hunting with my young son and thats a real challenge ,he has taken 11 deer by age 11 including to bucks with a bow. And also one with black powder. I have also taken 28 black bears 19 with a bow.

IHAVE KILLED AROUND 135-140 DEER SINCEI WAS 8. I AM NOW 25YEARS OLD. I KILLED 19 LAST YEAR. 8 WITH MY BOW, 1 WITH A RIFLE IN MARYLAND AND 10 WITH MY SHOTGUN. I WAS ON CRUTCHES AT THE END OF OCTOBER DO TO AND ACCIDENT. I KILLED 11 OF THOSE ON CRUTCHES. I ALSO WRITE EVERY DEER DOWN ON A PAPER AND KEEP MY EMPTY HAULS AND RECOVER THE SLUS IF THEY DIDNT PASS THROUGH.

I have been hunting for 13 years and have harvested 10 deer. Only allowed 1 per season here.

Don't have a clue, been deer hunting for 40 years and while pickings were slim in the early years, they havn't been the last 30.

I've got 19 in the last three seasons. With blackpowder or rifle. 2 eight points, a big 6 point, a smaller 6 point, a great looking 9 point. A very thick, nice 7 point. I don't kill small bucks, I kill does for meat. Usually donate the big bucks to a friend. I like does for food. I've took about 12 or so in the last 3 years. I'm 27, probably about 40some deer total for life.

Ive been hunting for about 25 years. I usually get 2 or 3 with a bow and 2 or 3 with guns. I honestly have no real idea of how many. Somewhere between 100 and 150 I would guess.

Started when I was 10 and am 30 now. I don't really know, but I know I have taken 4-5 each year since then, so I should be up around 100. I have the advantage of hunting PA, MD, WV, and WY a time or two. My family eats about 4 deer a year, then we can some, make jerky and slim jims, and it doesn't take long to hammer it.

I would have to say only 25-30 so far. I usually harvest one per year and sometimes 2 per year. This year, I am using my rifle, as always, but am also getting my first bow tag. Hopefully it all goes well.

I've been hunting since I was 12. Some where between 15-20 deer total. I've hunted archery 3 years got (1) 8pt. passed many others. 3 or 4 with flint lock, a couple with shotgun and the rest with my rifle. Since I started archery hunting I've started shooting less deer. But I have also started learning more about them. And I'm passing a lot more smaller deer looking for a brusier.

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?

RE: Total deer harvested???
 
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.

none:(, im on my 2nd season. But i hope i get one this year!:D

NorthernHunter 08-24-2006 02:12 PM

RE: Total deer harvested???
 
About 50+ during shotgun season. Had 1 day where I got 4 does in one day of hunting and then 2 other times I dropped 3 does in a day.

20-22 during bow season. I cherish the bow kills much more because it's more skillful and rewarding to drop a deer using a bow and arrow. Last year's 8 pointer at 6:25AM on a bitterly frosty morning seems like just yesterday! Only 2 weeks until the opener!!

More than my share. I'd hate to know actually. That's why I believe it's my time to start giving back some.

Seven last year, two with bow, two with muzzleloader and 3 with rifle. Our state Game & Fish Dept. needs help in contolling the population and I'm happy to help them out.

I think it is around 4,567,998. That is just this summer daydreaming at work thinking about the upcoming season. If you are only counting those really harvested it would be about 16. Good Huting.

RE: Total deer harvested???
 
jesus. some of you all must not have a season limit. there is a four a year limit here and thats with two being archery only doe only. i have killed eleven. 6 being bucks. one bow kill, two muzzle loader, one crosbow and the rest rifle.

Buck Huntin Girl 10-10-2006 10:29 AM

3 in 3 years

First deer: large bodied, deformed antlered buck, 20 ga. Remington 870 combo express magnum

Second deer: Nice 7pt. CVA Hunterbolt Muzzleloader

Third Deer: Button buck, Browning Rage set at 45# and 27" draw

This is my fourth year, and I have no doubts that unless this pregnancy (7 months along) hinders things later in the season, I will get another with either my bow or muzzleloader.

RE: Total deer harvested???
 
hmmm, never counted. didn't realize i should. 2 bucks. maybe 4 doe?? i just love to go. doesn't matter whether i get one or not. i don't shoot if i am not going to eat it. and if my husband gets one before me then i pass and he does the same.

manuman 10-10-2006 07:59 PM
