Between 50 and 60, most of them were does. I filled my tags in a 5 deer county every year for about 7-8 year with all does, wish we had mld! Oh and the majority of mine were with 270 win and 150 gr NP's, the rest are a mix of 280, 300wby, 223, bow, 243, and 54 cal smoke pole. matt

Nav is that a made up number or educated guess? One of my buddies does cull shooting and doe shooting on an mld place, he has shot about 20 deer a year pluss whatever he shot on his own hunting in texas and out of state. Not sure how many, but its a bunch!

I think you're a liar!!!! Been blessed to help out on 2 different ranches over the years with their MLD, so I'll just say a bunch. My best in one year was 24 off of one ranch, most my MLD hunts are done with my .223, cheap ammo and no recoil. I trophy hunt with a .270.

Since we're talking numbers, does anyone keep count of misses? My number is 2, both time I got ate up by nerves. My first miss was at age 10 shooting a 410 with a slug. It was my first shot at a deer, and my only miss for the next 24 years. I killed a sapling. 24 years later, I missed the same doe twice with my bow. I had stalked up to a group of three does with my bow. The stalk had my adrenalin pumping so hard, that I did not even notice the barbed wire fence between the two of us (and I was shaking like a wet lab). She bounded off only about 10 yards, and looked back at the arrow laying on the ground. Gave me a clean shot with the fence now in a low spot, but now, my adrenalin was REALLY pumping! I just flat blew that shot!

Have hunted for 35 yrs cant even count the number of deer used to work for a guy that had a high fence operation and we would ride the roads with a flat bed trailer to shoot all the does he was required to take when we did that we used pistols ,shotguns,rifles anything to make it interestiong and any caliber you could think of we would carry 10-15 guns a piece

I have a hard time remembering what I shot last year! Trying to remember 45+ years of this is completely out of the question!
Most were shot with 25.06 or .308 or 30-06, but I've shot at least one with everything I own except the .22!

Ive killed 4-5 a year since the mid nineties. I'd be hard pressed to see a total under 50 if I went back and counted my tags. Ive hunted in Kimble county for eternity and the land owner always encouraged us to shoot a tag full of does a year. Most of my deer have been does with about 5-6 mature bucks, a few culls, and several pigs.
I looked at our management book last time I was down there and the lowest year I could find we took 27 deer between all of us.

Wow after deer hunting for the last 44 years I really have no clue as to how many, As to which weapon used most have either come buy bow or 7-08. I've taken deer with shotguns, bows, .41 mag pistol, 7-08, 243,308,30-30,and muzzle loaders. Thia year I'm try for deer with a Tradition 50cal muzzle loading pistol and a self-made longbow.

i added my years up best i could remember... came up with 108 in 19 years of hunting for an average of 5.7 a year. that number is fairly accurate.. would be within 5 either way. the least i have killed was 2 and the most 11.

I've managed to tag out every year since i started huting at the age of 10. It used to be 4 deer a year until a few years ago when it went to 5 in my county. So, it would have to be over 150. I've made a lot of sauage in my life.

I have no idea how many I've taken and am reluctant to call many hunting, as we were cull shooting for ranches or the State over the years..For about 25yrs a lot w/7mm Rem Mag., Then a lot with a 300 Win Mag, 22-250,270,338 Win Mag, and 308's. Plus I killed my first and best walking and hunting w/a SS 16ga shotgun..But of all most were taken as a harvest, and we always try to make the kills clean and as easy on the animal as it can be considering what we are doing..I got much more interested in types of projectiles and shot placement over the yrs. than calibers..DD

I've killed right around 70-75 deer, + a few exotics and a sheep.
most have been with eiher a .270 or a .22-250, I've killed two with a .30-30
For it is not the quarry that we truly seek, but the adventure.
