I have never killed a deer outside of Alabama and hunt primarily public, btw.
6 in 2020 and 8 in 2021 adds another 14 to this number. ME, NH, OH now. Actually shot 12 this year but took home 8, the stories are in the Team 8 Thread.How old you are - 29
When you started - 10 years old
How many seasons - 19 in process
Where you're from/where you generally hunt - Maine/ ME, NH, Nantucket Ma.
And how many deer you've kilt! - Around 40, not home to count tag rings. Usually 2 - 3 per season and that number goes up the older/more experienced I get.

So lifetime # around 54 now.
I’m 61 and killed my first at age 12. I’ve hunted every year since then. I keep a record and update it at the end of every season. I live in Tennessee and hunt mostly near home, although I have spent quite a bit of time hunting in Kentucky, which is only 3 miles from home. I’m not as focused on a real trophy as I used to be and just want to enjoy being able to climb trees to hunt and bow hunt as long as I still have the physical ability to do it, by the way this was my first year to saddle hunt and I fulfilled my goal and killed a doe from the saddle. Oh I almost forgot my total lifetime kills are at 119. 4 this year.I don't want to turn this into a competition, but I'm really curious.
I just added every one I can remember up and so far I'm at an even 20. For a broke 25 year old I'm not too disappointed, but I definitely want that number to go up. Of course, I killed my first when I was maybe 7? So I'd like to think I neglected a doe or two. Sometimes mine and my dad's kills run together too since we hunt so much and I clean the majority of his deer lately. But I know for sure I've accounted for 20.
Let me know:
How old you are

And how many deer you've kilt!
This might be a fun summer post!

Started deer hunting at age 15 in 1997. I’m 37 so coming up on 22 years. Got semi serious in my early twenties. Have been very serious the past 7 and have been 95% archery the last 7 years. I think I’ve killed probably 75% of my deer in the past 10 years
44 total (that I can remember, I expect there’s a dozen or so that I can’t recall right now)
Florida - 12 bucks 6 does
Georgia - 11 bucks 7 does
Kentucky - 3 bucks 1 doe
Ohio - 1 buck 1 doe
South Carolina - 2 does
Haven’t been in many clubs, lots of public land
Best deer were a 150, 142, and a 134, from KY, OH, and GA respectively
Hopefully this coming season I’ll get to add a couple more to the total and they will be saddle kills

Another update to bring this thread back to life
How old you are: 31
When you started: 10ish.. I'd say I didn't actually start hunting hunting til I was 24
How many seasons: Due to college and getting grounded from hunting 1 year in high school (long story ) I'd say no more than 14 years
Where you generally hunt: 100% Maryland up to this point
And how many deer you've kilt! 24
7 antlered, 17 antlerless
5 private (2 antlered), 19 public (5 antlered)

So I'm 37... started hunting when I was 31 living in North Dakota... got my first buck with a rifle that year... moved back to FL for a few years hunting one of those... not interested in ever hunting in FL again... I think it was 90 degrees all that week and I hung my kayak up on a gator in Picayune Strand... nope... no more... I've hunted with a bow 3 years in MN so far and I've got 1 from a climber and 2 from a saddle.
Not a fan for hunting....spearfishing is a different story.... started that in college and it's the only thing I miss about FloridaCouldn’t handle Florida lol?
