2023 kill stat tracker. Not part of contest. All kills

Had 4 South Dakota deer tags, 2 antler-less rifle tags & 1 any deer archery tag as well as an antler-less tag to work with this season. my goal was 3 deer in the freezer by season end. Put more effort into early season archery deer than usual with little fruit in terms of deer encounters finally, November 12 a encounter presented a shot at 12 yards from the tree.

This Archery deer was a moderate sized buck 3 x 3 & not specifically targeted
Bow was a Carbon Defiant 34
Broadhead was a 200 grain Cut Throat S7 single bevel
Saddle was the Buzzard roost
Hunting public ground

Two rifle does were taken in a diffrent SD public unit than where I archery hunt.
Both rifle deer were taken with a CZ 527 chambered in 6mm ARC
Ammo was pushing a 90 grain CX that I loaded.
1st deer was taken from a ladder stand
2nd deer was taken from the ground, both were taken off public land.

Freezer is full enough & 4th archery antler-less deer tag is not likely to be filled.
