On average, how many deer do you take each year? Do you have a goal number wise? If you reach that goal before the end of the season, do you stop hunting, hunt for something else, or pursue another hobby?
I know this is highly dependent on where you live and the surrounding deer population, so please include your home state, or the state(s) in which you hunt if you don't mind...
In terms of meat in the freezer, my wife and I shoot for (pun intended) 2-3 deer each year. Two is sufficient, three is ideal with a surplus. We have taken four on occasion, but at that point, we end up giving away a bunch of it. (Which is fine if you know folks who want it and will use it)
Does anybody here shoot deer specifically to donate them to food banks, Hunters Sharing the Harvest Programs, etc...?
