How many deer have you killed?

How old you are - 42
When you started - 14
How many seasons - Due to military commitments probably around 14-15 seasons
Where you're from/where you generally hunt - All over. Originally from WA and now reside in MO. Hunted WA, CA, NE, LA, NC, TX and MO.
And how many deer you've kilt! - 24 (2 black tails, 1 muley and 21 white tails)
 
Killed my first at 14 I think. Im 37 now. Literally have no idea how many ive killed. Think Ive only had tag soup twice. Usualy get two every other year, most I can recall is three. Can only get two this year without going out of the county.
 
72, Hunted deer since 1965, Well over 100, probably under 200 deer, most with a bow, some with a crossbow, several with a 12 gage and slugs, one with a .44 Mag. and only one so far from a saddle (this year), and several from homemade swing seats and hay rope in the 60's and 70's kinda like saddle only a lot dumber. Really like the saddle but at my age will have to switch to the ground blinds when the cold stuff gets here in Illinois as I have to bundle up a lot.:)
 
Here is hope for all as I read. Nutterbuster great post.
I’m 73
Started bow hunting at age 34.(worked my ass off till that age)
Killed 2 to 3 deer most seasons. Couple seasons more.
Still love to bow hunt.
Hearing deer walk in thru the leaves andchewing acorns has to be one of the best sounds there is,besides the “whack” when the arrow finds the mark.
Never quit !
 
46, started at 17 bow hunting Southern Ohio and still do. It took 5 years to get my first bow kill. Happened on a 120" 8 point of all things Lol. After that year I would still only shoot 1 doe sometimes and hunt for a decent buck so no ideal how many I've killed total, 40 maybe. For last 8 years probably I'm only trophy hunting due to my son is also knocking them down and no room for to much meat
 
How old you are: 36
When you started: 11
How many seasons: All of them
Where you're from/where you generally hunt: MN/MN
And how many deer you've kilt!: Used to do a lot of party hunting in my youth years and lately 2-3 per season not party hunting. Shot more than 50 and less than 75 would be my guess. Not something i've kept track of. The biggest buck i shot (11pt) i traded the antlers to my dads buddy for pheasant breasts!! :) Not much of an antler hunter i guess...and only 1 of those deer I've been off the ground hunting. Last year was my first year with a climber and i did get a kill from it. I hope next year i'm in a saddle. Trying to learn how to do it here on SaddleHunter.

Where you're from/where you generally hunt Missouri

And how many deer you've kilt! 13 that I recall clearly: 3 bucks and 6 does with a rifle, 2 bucks and 2 does with a bow
 
Well shoot I missed this one!

How old? 51

When did I start? Age 10

1st deer? 32 lb button buck Age 12 Archery

1st buck? Y buck Age 18 Archery

How many seasons? 41

Where am I from? I'm from NJ. Very liberal seasons there.

Where do I live? Montana. Not so liberal seasons here. 1 buck and one WT doe.

How many have I kilt? Lost count. It's over 100. From the age of 20 till 30 in NJ, I whacked n' stacked a bunch. Variety of weapons. Archery, shotgun, and muzzeloader.

In MT from the age of 30 till 51, 1 or 2 a year. Ate my buck tag a couple years. One year due to EHD, hardly any deer existed to hunt. Another year, I was holding out for a big one. Didn't get it done. When I 1st moved here, there was an archery only area that had unlimited anterless tags and a late extended season. One night I kilt' 4 does. I only had 2 arrows so I had to get down and reload! I also kilt' a monster "antlerless" deer. I rolled "her" over and she nuts! I looked at "her" head and "she" had already dropped "her" antlers. I couldn't get my fingers around "her pedicals. I would've loved to had him come by during November. He would've been a giant. Anyway Story time is over. Over 100 Wt. 7 elk. 1 Antelope buck. Most w/ a bow. And ONE saddle kill. A Mid 140" 10 pt. I hear they are going to open my area up to multiple does next year. I can't wait to start to WhacknStack em' again. This 2 deer a year is for the birds.

Also I have 2 buddies back in NJ. They are real killers. Scott killed his 365th deer last week. Pete lost count years ago but he has been killing 10-20 deer a year for 35 years. He estimates 800-900 have taken a ride in his truck. One year in a 4 month season, he missed exactly 3 days of hunting not including Sundays. He was hard core. Getting married and having kids slowed him down some, but not much. He still gets his share. So do his kids.
 
37 years old

started at age 12

Shot 90% of my deer from age 25-37

All Pennsylvania and one 6 point from South Carolina

Lost track in the 30’s but I’d have to guess around 38-40 mark.
