My question is, even if it's legal to kill 10 to 15 deer, why would youwant to kill that many? I've known people who killed over 20 deer in a season. That is just rediculous in my mind. I think people who kill that many deer in a season hunt mainly for the kill, and not the enjoyment of the hunt.

That's my question. Do you just take the tenderloin and leave the rest? Or even bother at all? Can't imagine the need for 10-12 deer...

Look, there are a lot of young hunters on this site. Some get so wrapped up in the kill that they forget about the social responsibility and ethics of hunting. Bragging about killing a slew of deer can be fodder for bad habits. Some of these guys/girls feel they must shoot monster bucks like they see on T.V. and read about in Field & Stream and so on. With that comes the temptation of trespassing, spot-lighting, baiting, and out-of-the question shots thatwound instead of producing a clean kill. Sure, everyone wants a wall-hanger. But at what expense? Doctor Death sounds like the name of a professional wrestler, not someone who wants to promote positive influence on our youth. I dont know youor your habits, and dont care to. But the past 11 pages ofjargon are not impressive. In allhonesty, I'd rather read a post about a 13 year olds first kill on a doe. I'd rather hear about what he/she learned about being in the woods, how dragging it out of the woods made them so tired, how bad their back felt after processing the meat, how they had that knot in their stomach when they pulled the trigger, and maybe hesitated becauseright before the gun goes off, they realize theywere taking the life of another creature. They need to understand that the feeling is ok, because it means they are acting humanely. Death is a part of life, not a bragging right. Maybe its the thought of what I want to teach my kids, andhow I wantto influence those kids who's parents don't take them into the woods. Maybe its theIndian blood that runs through my veins. Frankly,I don't care about the diary,Ihave my own. But just remember your audience......

We have one tract of land that is about 6,800 contiguous acres. There is one caretaker that works every day on the land. Last year we got a bunch of doe tags and let him fill all of them. He shot 30 legal does and one 10 point buck. All of the meat was either utilized by owners, him, or were given away. I had a friend a few years ago that shot 46 legaldeer one year, mainly does, all utilized.

i put 4 in the freezer last year and have been out of venison for a couple months now. my family doesn't buy hamburger, we eat venison burger. anything we fix that calls for burger, we substitute with venison...so we go through alot of venison. i also have tons of friends who love venison and don't hunt, didn't get a deer or could not get time to hunt so i give away alot. i also host2 or3 large party's a year where we will cook 2 deer at a time to feed the guest, so yes i use alot of venison.

I have been lurking for a couple years on here and have been contemplating joining. This thread did it for me. I felt I had to say something. I am a member of many forums and I am extremely sick of the internet tough guys. You may or may not agree with him but it is who he is. DD please post the journal as I have enjoyed reading it. Don't let the naysayer's effect your decision.
