I usually let alot walk and still average 2-3 a year. As stated previously, keeping the freezer full is a priorityat my house. I also hunt 2 states, so that helps.

I could easily kill a deer on the first day each year but since we only get one general whitetail tag per year I hold out for a trophy buck.Some years I pass up to 20 or 30 bucks and my tag still goes unfilled but it doesn' t bother me as my freezer is usually full of elk anyway.

Since I started hunting in ' 85 I have not killed one deer evey year. I have killed on average 9 deer per year. My highest number of deer harvested in one year was 16.

I have killed a deer every year that I' ve hunted(18th year). I have a good deer population. The most I got in one year was 6(last year). Many years at the begining 1 was all you could get. Over the last 10 years, I' ve probably averaged 3 a year.

I have shot at least one deer every year since 1972. My average is 3 per year and the most I' ve gotten is 11 in one year. However, in the last couple of years, my numbers have gone down, largely because I' m more selective than I used to be. Last year I shot two and this year I haven' t shot any yet, though I' ve had plenty of opportunities. I' m planning to shoot a couple of mature does and hopefully a buck 120 or better this year. We will see how things unfold.

Average 6-8 per year, but 90% being big does and usually i try to take all of them with a bow. Will shoot one buck a year if he is not 120 or better i will shoot a buck with A Screwed up rack. Looking at shooting a buck i have seen alot this year he is a spike with about 9 inches on one side and two inches on the other.
