I have taken nothing like the numbers some folks report. Especially in parts of the east.
I have taken over 100 deer though.
I got my first buck and a doe when I was 12. I am 68 now. in the 60's and early 70's, tags were plentiful and cheap so we got a lot of deer in Eastern Oregon including Agricultural hunts. Idaho was an easy tag and Montanna had a license/tag that covered all the major species.
Also, for a time Western Oregon, especially near the Tillamook Burn had phenomonal hunting.
I am back to Eastern Oregon for most of my hunting now. With our tag draws it is hard to manage more than two bucks every three years and a doe every other year. I got a five point last year but none this year. I also took a doe each year.
