Is this Glutton?
My nephew told this to me last night.
In 2003 north of him 27 hunters harvested 77 deer. Brown its down mentality. I hope they were able to distribute the deer to friends and family.
This year those same 27 only got 13. Corn still in the feilds.

RE: Is this Glutton?
In our club we have about 18 members. It is common to kill 100 + deer each year and we need to shoot a lot more. The over population in our is a problem. The meat is either utilized by members or processed and given away.

that's less than 3 deer per person, which in and of itself ain't a big deal. What is a big deal is how big an area these deer were taken from. From the looks of this seasons harvest, it was a smaller area and they decimated thier herd last year. Its all about balance.

All that depends on what the resident deer population is like. How many of those were does vs. bucks? Are they in a management program? That's not an unreasonable number of deer to shoot in most places.

RE: Is this Glutton?
I like to hunt---not kill.
Here in Jersey one can shoot a doe a day and up to 6 bucks during all the seasons. Could I shoot 20 does and 6 bucks--yeah but I don't because I can not use all of that meat; I can not donate that meat and I do not see the need to kill that many deer just for the sake of doing it.
Maybe you call it maturity or common sense but I never went through a "killing stage" like a lot of guy do.
