Not even close. I can't even guaranty a door fit the season. I want to focus on mature bucks and I do to some extent, but when I hunt public between antler restrictions and no does, it's a difficult proposition. We are a family of 6 and I haven't had enough meat to last through the year fit a couple of seasons.

My meat basically comes from to weekends. One, if my uncle invites me for a weekend, has a bunch of private and some doe tags. Two, my father in law is part of a club in AL, which allows for harvest.

I still have a lot to learn. I think most importantly to increase odds of success for meat in Florida, is to have a couple honey holes.

Totally depends on where I'm hunting and time of season. In southern Michigan I couldn't.. Definitely not guaranteed but decent chance within a few hunts I could put some venison in the freezer. Northern Ohio I could easily hunt a week before an opportunity, maybe longer. I've hunted a few areas in other states where population numbers were higher and I most likely could get a deer in 1-2 days tops .

The private and public swamp areas I have hunted more of in the past 4 years do not produce a kill shot every sit.

But hunting private farm land in the past I would have a kill shot on almost every sit on a doe or immature buck.

Yes
On private land that I have manipulated with food plots and funnels.
I could shoot a doe or young buck with a rifle.

I have been paying attention to your success and if you can't do it I doubt anybody here can. :lol:

Depends on the weapon. If All I had to do was put a doe down, it really isn't difficult to set up on a known doe hang out/bedding and kill one.
Bow- might take a sit or two
Gun- definitely

On my lease in Louisiana, no way. Lucky to even SEE a deer every 5-7 sits.

On BIL's land in Mississippi, not a problem. Give me two days and I could kill a couple. I don't do it, but I could.
