Just wondering how many deer you guys like to harvest in a years time. I personally will only eat one, but no one else at my house really eats much venison....

We very very rarely buy beef, 2.5 deer will get us through the year and the other 1/2 goes to jerky.

Between 7 and 10 per year. We will eat 4 as a family, I take the others to folks that want them or donate to HUSH.

Between wild hogs, deer, crappie, walleye we shouldn't need to buy meat at the store but ribeyes do taste good... :L:

I try and kill one buck, I don't care if I get doe or not. My step dad usually kills a couple deer a year and I help him eat it.

No Zero? I have only shot 5 deer in the last 16 years. Sorry for bringing the curve down guys. :oops:
It's not the knowing that's difficult, but the doing.

If I edit it and add zero the poll will start over again.

Let me know if you want that and I will take care of it.

I normally kill 1 or 2 bucks a year. I could kill lots more does but really don't want to. Save some for the next guy. I haven't killed a 1.5 year old buck for over 35 years. Back then the deer numbers were way down and it was considered an accomplishment to take any buck with a bow. After killing that buck it didn't feel like an accomplishment to me. So I just didn't kill smaller bucks after that. I feel the same way about killing a doe. Just doesn't trip my trigger, so I don't do it.
You can fool some of the bucks, all of the time, and fool all of the bucks, some of the time, however you certainly can't fool all of the bucks, all of the time.
