Yeah I think alabama lets you kill two a day for the entire season right?
different parts/counties have different limits, some counties have a 70+ doe days where you can kill 2 a day and only one can be an antlered buck, or you can take the 2 does, the counties i hunt(ed) this past year 1 had a 39 day doe season the other had 15 days, i've never really sat down and figured up how many i could actually kill in a season, but i have had several seasons were i have killed over 20 (all legal), there are some areas that the doe population needs some adjustments, but now i try to limit myself to as many does as i can kill and 2 bucks in a year, and i'm looking for 120+" on them, i like the hunters for the hungry type programs, 2 years ago i was fortuante enough to kill 11 deer, 4 bucks and seven does, i donated a good portion of the meat to one of our local programs, one of the biggest problems we have in alabama is you got so many people that will not kill does, they don't like the meat, the trouble of game care, or they are only interested in killing a buck (for the head). i like to kill as many does as possible with my bow, to help out our lop-sided buck/doe ratio and it helps with my confidence when something with some bone on his head shows up. i think the biggest thing is to hunt within the guidelines the states set up to at least help with keeping an idea of what a states deer herd is like...

btw, killing a high number of deer is not something i'm all that proud of now, thats why i useally avoid the "how many deer have you killed threads" i don't ever plan on killing them in the future like i have in the past, unless we are warned of some disasterious problems if we don't.

In four years of hunting I shot 4 deer. One buck, an 8,two does and a button buck. All with the shotgun. Of course I'v missed a few along the way. Have yet to record my first bow kill. However I have a good feeling about this year.

What do you do with 29 deer??? Thats a lot of meat! 4 deer is more then enough for me and my family of 6!
I've killed 13 antlered bucks and 30-50 does and buttons in 24 years of hunting....

Well I eat them ,Give alot to a few churches, and work with buckmasters feed the homeless program. I usually only kill 1 to 5 bucks a year. I kill as many does as I can to help with my management plan. Also in Fl. any buck is a Trophy buck to me. I hunt the waste deep swamps and such.

yeah moose is right. any florida buck is a trophy. you have to go through alot for those beasts. i've killed one buck in 6 seasons but this last season was the only time i was "seriously" hunting. but i'm ready to change that this year. you can kill and unlumitted amount of does in kentucky. you just have to buy extra anterless permits for every two.

I hav e killed afew deer, but no were near as many as you guys. One nice 9 point scored 120. Were I live (or I should say were I hunt) we cant shoot does (the snow takes care of the extras) except with a bow and I have just started getting back into that. Alot of ya guys have said that you have killed alot of buttons, do ya mean to or is it by accedent. Our DNR realy makes it a point to tell people not to shoot buttons, it kindove defets the purpuse of a doe harves to controle numbers.

Most hunters here are spoiled as hell, and don't know what it means to actually "HUNT". LOL Not to offend anybody....but my dad bought a DEER CAMP, and it was 4 years until a deer was killed. They hunted a hell of a lot harder than we do, too.

Anybody that hunted during lean years in their area knows what I mean. I know WAY too many people now that get pissed when they don't kill a deer every time out.

I've probably killed around 50 deer. I'm spoiled, too.....but I killed many in WV, and grew up and live in Ohio where seeing a deer was a spectacle when I first started hunting. I still hunt a couple areas in northern Ohio where the sight of a deer is somewhat of a surprise.
