What's your deer body count?
 
I've killed 3 deer in 3 years of hunting hard for em. I still haven't taken one with my bow and this year I could've killed more, but I just let em walk cause they were does. I still got until Feb 28th to take one with my bow though.

Between thirty and forty in about 25 years of hunting.I have hunted deer almost entirely in saskatchewan and alberta where we are only allowed one buck per year and have ended up with a few unfilled tags by being very selective about the deer I will harvest.

3 with a bow 8 with a gun. 6 bucks, 5 does and that is in six years of hunting.

Good Luck This Season: Buck Magnet
P.S. Only Chuck Adams can sit at home and see deer so get into the woods. =;^)

I don't know my deer count, but took more bucks than does in my life. Usually around 3 deer a year or so. Took 3 deer in two hunts this year with the bow.

I usually take two a year but some years I have taken as many as five .Just depends if I hunt out of state a lot .I don't really know how many I've taken but quite a few .

RE: What's your deer body count?
 
I'd have to sit down and do some thinking about that one. There have been years I've passed up as many as 12 diffrent bucks I could have shot but ended up putting my tag on the Christmas tree. Then there have been years I got drawn for some special licenses and bought some additional deer tags and shot as many as 4 deer in one season.

I like deer meat so I like to shoot a doe on a special permit early. I like hunting for a trophy buck so I sure don't want to shoot any legal buck I see.

Around 60.About 10 with a Bow.I can shoot 8 a year but only need 1 or 2.

RE: What's your deer body count?
 
I got 4 this year. That's about typical.
I have a life license, so I don't have to buy separate tags (Indiana). I don't know how many total I've taken. I usually give a few to some cousins of mine that like deer meat, but don't have a good place to hunt.

powerwagons 01-07-2002 05:18 AM

RE: What's your deer body count?
 
I dont have numbers like these other guys, I usually dont get a doe tag ( I think I got one twice) This year I got a buck after a 3 year dry spell. I now have 6 buck in the last 12 years. Every year that I hunt by myself I get one every year I take a buddy I dont so I think I will leave the buddys at home :)

RE: What's your deer body count?
 
I've only killed about a half dozen nice bucks, all of them since I moved to Virginia from Oklahoma.

All total I've killed somewhere b/t 75-100 deer, mostly doe's. I shot five this year, one nice 8ptr, 7ptr and a 6ptr, the rest were does. I usually keep two or three each year and donate the rest.

RE: What's your deer body count?
 
I have been bow hunting for 10 years and have killed 10 deer. It started off slow, but a couple of good seasons brought my average way up. I have gotten 3 little whitetail bucks (1-1/2 year olds), 1 13 point whitetail (3 years old), 1 8 point Mule Deer (probably 3 years old), 2 button bucks and 3 does. And after 10 years there is still not a day in the woods that I don't learn something new. The funny thing is, I can still remember every little detail about every single harvest.

50-60 I think, could be more. I have only killed one big buck, a lot of average ones. i took an 11 year sabbatical from hunting and once I moved to Fredericksburg the past August I decided to start again, I only got a little 4 point this year I could have sworn was a young doe.

I just turned 24 and have been deer hunting since age 12 and killed my first one that year. I had quite a few dry years and didn't kill another till age 16. I got 7 deer this year. 4 bucks 3 does. My lifetime total is 30 deer, 14 bucks 16 does. I can remember every detail of every hunt, and wouldn't trade them for anything.

Well over 150, but not sure of the number. In the last few years I have cut back.

35 deer in 16 years. 18 gun, 17 bow. 11 bucks, 24 doe. 9 bow bucks.

RE: What's your deer body count?
 
Froman I just reread your question and realized that my reply was incorrect, every deer I have killed over the years has only had one body, so the answer to your question is ONE!

4 bucks and 7 does. 1 buck with a 12 guage shotgun, 4 does with muzzleloader, the remainder with my .243. My first was in 82. I didn't hunt from 84 til 96. The rest came since 97, 4 this last season.

RE: What's your deer body count?
 
in my four years of hunting i have taken five bucks and two does im yet to get one with my bow im waiting on a wallhanger for my first buck

tschaef 01-07-2002 04:35 PM

RE: What's your deer body count?
 
Just 2 in three years hunting hard (1 of each).

I can't put into words how jealous I am of you guys with long seasons and multiple tags. We get 2 weeks (gun) and 1 tag (antlered only unless successful in lottery).
One of these years I'm gonna use my vacation to fly south and see if you guys are just pulling my leg about all the deer down there.

Rickmur 01-07-2002 04:45 PM

RE: What's your deer body count?
 
This was a good year for me, I took two nice bucks with bow...two does with bow...two does with gun

NattyBumpo 01-07-2002 06:39 PM

RE: What's your deer body count?
 
Matched my age this year, with 51 deer.
New York used to issue Party Permits that would allow you to take a buck or a doe, so I used to take all bucks. They changed that a couple of years ago so it's now a doe permit or two. Now I usually fill my doe tags first then go after my buck. I keep a diary of all my hunts but I'm just too lazy right now to look thru the books to get a count for each.

fuzzjocky2 01-07-2002 06:39 PM

RE: What's your deer body count?
 
good year this year have taken 5 deer 3 does an eight point and a 10 that got a trip to the taxidermist idon't really know many ihave killed usualy get a couple each year most of my deer are killed with my bow .this year i took 3 with my bow (you must shoot 2 does before you shoot your second buck) I shot the other 2 with my muzzel loader

RuRu12 01-08-2002 06:46 AM

RE: What's your deer body count?
 
I can't give an exact number, but its way over 100. I killed my first twenty five years ago. I hunt with rifle, bow and muzzleloader. My state allows multiple tags in each season. This year you could have taken as many as eight or nine deer, depending on which counties. Most years I take five or six. The most I've ever taken in one year was eleven, ten whitetails and one mule deer, hunted three different states.

Phuloschit 01-08-2002 09:03 AM

RE: What's your deer body count?
 
In 11 years:

17 deer (each deer had one body)
10 bucks
7 does

5 bow
1 pistol
8 rifle
3 muzzleloader

Hunting is a right, treat it like a priviledge - respect nature

Probably between 50-60 in the last 15 years. About 1/3 of those with a bow. Not really sure. Usually avg about 3-4/yr. Probably 50/50 bucks to does. Have let hundreds walk. Killed a handful of NICE ones, but still looking for the BIG one. :)

Hunting archery only, as I have so far, I have a big whopping goose-egg. Couldn't get out as much as I wanted, but I've got one weekend left here in IL. Going to try out my new treestand. first one ever.

Congrats to everybody on their success!

Keep 'em all in the Bull.
