How many deer do you average a year?

[encore4me]

I shot 5 this year, 3 in W.Va. and 2 in Ohio.

3 with my Encore, 250 gr Shockwaves, 90gr.. 777
1 with my Browning A-Bolt 270 WSM, 130gr Win. Balistic Silvertips.
I with my Winchester Model 94 trapper 44mag.

Ohio MZ season is Dec. 27-30 I'm off all days maybe I can get one more. 8)

I usually average 4-6 deer between both states. I wish I had other oppertunities for different game but untill I get more $$ I will have to settle for deer.

Most years it's about 4. This year I took 5 and I'm pretty sure I'm done. Waterfowl and upland until turkey season rolls around. Oh and lots of reloading and range work!

Including does, I usually shoot 4-5 a year. This year I was involved in the murder of 9 deer although I only accounted for three of them myself. Luckily, there's usually a moose or elk thrown in there to really fill the freezer and a few other animals depending on how the draws go.

2 a year... both have to be bucks. Where I hunt they will not allow does to be taken. Fortunately both bucks were good size, 160 and 230 dressed...

I usually shoot 3 per year one each with my bow,Rifle and ML Usually nice bucks plus I go on a big game hunt mostly elk and am quite successful with this. This year I took two deer 2 nice 8 points one with Rifle one with ML also a bull elk. I might take a one with a bow yet this year.

An average year would be 2 deer in the freezer. This year I got only one, with the muzzleloader. Last year, I took 3 deer; two in Missouri and one in Wyoming. So my avg. of 2 is still intact. In years when I get more than one, I give at to a food program run by the F & G dept.

Kodiak, We do the same,Nice program.They grind it all up into burger,and hand it out at the local pantries.

most years 2.I'm the only one that eats venison,so 2 is a good number.Shot 3 this year,gave one away to a friend who can't get out much.The DEC finaly allowed a hunter to sign over his doe tag to another hunter.Just legalized what has been common practice for years.Many wives in NY kill deer without leaving the house.Not me though-wife won't eat it won't hunt either.

Not as many as I would like. In my section of Ohio a hunter can only take one deer per year. So the answer is 1.

 

[RAF]

Depends on the number of tags I have. 2 years ago had 4. Took one with a bow, one with my new Savage ML, and 2 with my Savage 243. Last year had 4 and took 2 with my bow, one with the 10ML and one with my 30-06. This year had 5 tags. Took 4 with the 10ML and 1 with the 243. Prior to this had fewer tags, usually 2 but filled them all.

 

[DeerNut]

My average is getting closer and closer to zero all the time. When I started hunting, I would shoot 3 to 4 deer a year. Now, I don't shoot does and try and hold out for a Big Whitetail. I haven't shot a whitetail in 4 years....too fussy I guess. Good thing I shot a Muley this year!

 

[Admin]

From 1996-1999 0 per year.
From 2000-2003 1 per year.
2004 6 deer.
2005 3 deer with one season (for 1 deer) left to go.

Average: 1.3 deer per year.

This season I've hunted for a larger buck but with little success. Normally I take a doe during bow and one during ML season every year.
