Seriously, I don't know the average, but shoot at least one Buck every year. It's been one Buck the last 4 yrs. as I'm trying to increase my Doe numbers.I haven't shot a Doe in a few years, not that I haven't had opportunities.

Been hunting trad for 5 years  still have not gotna shot at a deer.  I hunt abiut 30 to 40 times a year .  So...... hang in there

hunted seven years before I got my first shot, then in two weeks killed three deer.....   .... most years I only have one or two real ,takeable shots.....
