Guys and Gals,

Just thought I would throw out a quick poll to get an idea on how many deer yall harvest per year.  I thought it might be fun for everyone to see the results.  Let just keep it to deer, whitetail or muledeer, because they are the most cosmopolitan species.  I know there will be regional differences based on population numbers and permit availability so not anything scientific or anything.  Just two question.  How many antlered (buck) do you harvest during an average year?  How many antlerless (doe/fawn) so you harvest during an average year?

Feel free to comment with any additional information or opinions after answering...

usually get a doe but don't shoot many bucks , however small bucks get a pass so that makes it harder

In a good year one buck and one doe that equals the amount of venison that the five of us in the family eat.

2 & 2 average. Once in a while I will get a 3rd doe. Sometimes 1 buck and 3 does. Just depends on where I am hunting and what is available in that area.

I need at least 3 deer to keep me from having to buy beef in the store!

I don't mean to suck my thumb,  but here in colorado I have not drawn a deer license for two years!
I do get to hunt out of state and I average 1.5 deer per year.

Usually 2 does, and .334 bucks. I'm pretty picky on bucks and get one about every 3 years anymore....
Stay sharp, Kenny.

In AZ you get to hunt Archery buck only, and if you are successful, the odds here for a successful bow hunter is some where around 14%. so one deer buck only per year.

I average a deer a year.   70% does and 30 % bucks. I keep a simple list of deer i've killed.

Kinda hard to get an accurate pole result from me.

Some years I dont' kill any and then i've had years i'll shoot 2.

Really interesting results so far.  Or at least i think they are.  I have a lot of years with 0's in both columns but on an average hear I shoot 1 doe.

I did the math, in the last 13 years I've been hunting I've shot .153846 deer per year.  Yep, I've only shot two.  Missed twice in that time period also.  Just hard to hunt deer on public land in my area of Illinois.  I can't wait to move.

About one every 8 years, bucks only.

If all goes well, 1 a year and it's usually a doe. I have had 2 deer years but not often.
