This is a question I really don't care answer especially if I think people are keeping score. How many have I killed, or many could I have killed? Some people have better places to hunt than others, others have more deer in the area, others have more time to hunt, some people can legally kill more deer than others, you name it the list can go on and on.
I manage to kill a deer every season I hunt, I don't hunt every year. I usually kill one deer a year, be it with a bow or gun. I don't have a lot of opportunities to hunt or a lot of land I can hunt so my resources are pretty limited. I normally only hunt one stand, if I'm lucky I can get two up. And I will be honest I don't hunt as hard as most either. I have a pretty physical job that requires me to get up very early in the morning (3 am) and I have a family. So sometimes hunting is more hassle that it's worth to me. I will be honest and say I'm not as hardcore as some of you are when it comes to hunting. I do it because it is something I enjoy, when it starts to take so much effort that it's not enjoyable anymore or puts a strain on my home life I don't see the point behind it. I'm not doing it because I'm out to prove anything to anyone.
Let's just say I've killed a lot less deer than I could have if I really put my mind to it
. But on the other hand I have never bought a tag that I didn't fill. All depends on how you want to measure success I guess.

RE: How many deer have you killed?
Lost count a long time ago...well never kept count...maybe around 20 or less. less than half bucks, maybe more like 1/3.
nothing like some of you. I like the meat and only shoot what I can eat. I don't need more than 1 a year mostly.

RE: How many deer have you killed?
I've taken alot of deer, but not enough. The largest buck was not large enough. But thats what keeps me wound up during the weeks leading up to hunting season. I don't know which matters the most Quality or Quantity, or if the shear joy of hunting is more valuable than both combined.
