I always hate this question because different people have different opportunities and time... Like one person might live on a 1000 acre farm in Kansas who has a father that has been hunting all his life. The next person might have tried deer hunting learning by himself, with no connections; hunts only public land in Florida.

Aww but im not gonna rant. I don't deer hunt really anymore. I went one time this year with the bow and saw a good number of deer with two shooter eight points out of range.

Bucks: 3; 4 bucks if you count the one we didn't find. (Blood trail took us in circles; yotes musta got 'em)
Does:1

All with the .270.
I 100% agree. I have to teach myself. I'm still learning the intricacies of gutting the deer. I've hunted 1 year and have 1 deer, a doe. I have no connections so i will have to find some over hunted public land to try to put some more meat in the freezer. Lets just say i won't be to picky this year.

I started deer hunting when I was 12 because here in Kansas we had to be 12 to deer hunt at the time. I have taken 2 bucks and 2 does, all with a rifle. Hopefully I can get a buck and at least one doe this year with my bow.

i should also note that maine and new hampshire are a one deer per YEAR state. w/ very very low deer densities. i sometimes wish i lived in a state w/ more deer and more tags cuz my deer #'s dont really reflect my tracking abilities[&:]

13 years of deer hunting for me. No clue on the amount of deer I've killed. Just a guess would be 25-30 bucks, and 100+ does.

Well i started when i was 12 so this is my 9th season and i honestly have no clue how many deer ive killed. I hunt 3-4 states every year. This year is 3 states so i have 14 tags i know of and i havnt got my 3rd license yet since it is for at my moms in Alabama so i dont kow haw many deer i can get down there. The last 3-4 years ive got prob 12-15 deer a year. Some have been more though.
