Average probably 1 or 2.
If it bleeds, we can kill it . . . .

I'd say average one per year in Mn. Sometimes more than once prior to killing him.
Usually at least 4 in WI. And some of those more than once as well.

This year I seen 3-5 with 2 being borderline 120 that's why 3-5. Two bucks where over 120 by a lot then maybe low 140/high 130 ten point. I seen 2 of the 5 multiple times and gave pass. Running 3-4 cams easily get 10 plus on them over 120. The biggest seen hunting was on public. This Se,sw, and western wi. But cams are on private

Southern mi I average about 1 a year in Hillsdale county. My best year I saw 4 that would go over "120. Some years I see none. A deer would most likely have to be 3.5 to make 120" in my area that is heavily hunted.

Not many. I'm fairly new to hardcore hunting as up until last year I was stuck in high school and had very limited time. Before last year I had a couple of "man, that was a really big deer" experiences, but nothing notable. Last year I saw two-at the exact same time too. They were bedded together in late October. It was my first time seeing a buck bed with a rub on it. Both were 130+ I actually went back and found one of their sheds in the spring.

This year I saw 4. I killed one, missed one, had no shot at one, and let one walk.

As you can imagine it varies from year to year. But I would say on average probably 2.

Hoping that number goes up the next few years as I keep learning to be a beast hunter.
