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 understand exactly what you mean chris...but i wouldnt have posted if i thought it was a competition...at lest the way i understood it it was just a question to understand how long we have been hunting...maybe i was reading it the way i wanted to i dont know

It really was just out of curiosity. Just to get an idea of how long everyone has been hunting and who all got what. no competition. Hope I didn't come off wrong to anyone. Just an honest question. Thanks to everyone who posted already!

I hunt in NY and there you cant legally hunt deer until your 16. so i've only hunted legally for 3 seasons, gotten 6 deer. 3 bucks, 3 does all with shotgun. I've been hunting with my dad since I was 7 or 8. Love it and cant wait til November 15th (when the season opens)

I knew what you were trying to do. If they have a problem thats on them. IM sure you understand that some people have it better then others. Its like when im around home there are so many houses that the deer are in small patches of woods so they are easy to find but when i go to my moms they are in big woods or up the mountains around here so they are alot harder to get and you have to hunt them different.

Hard to find places to hunt deer out here so haven't done any in long time. I've had my hunting license for about 15 years and tagged along with my dad, mom and grandpa when they hunted long before I got my license (I didn't shoot anything, no)

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.

how did you manage so many deer in such a short time legally? you have anuisance license?

Being a landowner/operator you can get however many double doe tags a year you want till they are sold out (and they are never sold out) and my neighbors with feedlots have quite a few depredation hunts on their places each year. Last year we shot 56 does out of my cousins feedlot in one afternoon. Plus I hunt Nebraska, West River deer tags every year (2 tags) and East River tags (however many I want to pay for where I live in SD), and the depredation hunts. Doesn't take too long to add up some serious deer numbers.
