Maxing out!
 

How many times do you get the maximum deer each season?

Hi, I'm just starting to bow hunt this year. I bought some muzzy 90 grain broadheads. what would you reccommend me getting if I need to get some more?
Thanks

The total number of tags I can get each year varies. Anywhere from 3-6 usually. I almost always get at least 3, once I've gotten 6.

and for your 2nd question...the same ones you have now.

Now that Ohio has urban deer tags ( doe) I could take 7 total deer ,including 1 buck.
I took 2 does and a buck last year .
Don't know what I would do with the extra meat.
As it was I gave over 1 whole deer away last year.
Most I ever took was 5 ,3 in Ohio , 1 in Pa and 1 in Mi.

Thats..........I can't count that high!

Cant say I ever maxed out we have 73 days to hunt and can kill 3 a day thats 219. I killed 29 in one season and have had a few close to that though.

I could kill 12 a year. This year there may be a 17 deer limit, which a lot of hunters are totally not for, me included. I killed four this year, which is about what I normally do. I try to get one with my bow, a deer with my rifle, then sit out for a good buck. This year I killd an additional one at a family deer hunt at an Island where they're trying to keep the numbers down. My brother killed his first, and since October, with quite a few pounds of venison in the freezer, venison has literally been the only meat we have eaten except for the occasional chicken and hamburger from Wendy's. Keep in mind that the five of us eat atleast one dish with meat every six meals. My personal favoite is steak, baked potato, with garlic bread and a salad. That's doin' it right! It's neck to neck with sliced tenderloin, grits, eggs, and toast for breakfast.

As I have gotton more "mature" in my hunting I am not tagging out. I pass on deer that I used to take. It has been 5 or 6 years since I killed more then 3 deer.

RE: Maxing out!
 

I will usually fill every tag that I get - all 1 of them

RE: Maxing out!
 

I average 5 a year for t he past 50 years

RE: Maxing out!
 

Not for a long time. One was the most you could have in a year when I started. I suppose I could go down to Bama and kill a couple of dozen and still not max out. [:-]

RE: Maxing out!
 

if you "limit out" in bama you better have a big freezer

RE: Maxing out!
 

I've limited out the past two years...at least at first. in virginia, you can buy as many bonus doe tags as you like for the season. gotta love bonus tags

RE: Maxing out!
 

I see some people are asking what they would do with the extra meat from so many deer. I shot six last year, eight the year before...I donate nearly ALL the meat to hunters for the hungry. I keep very little for myself. it is a good feeling.
