Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire How many whitetail deer.....

We need at least 3 but can eat as many as 5-6. Deer run a little small where I hunt though.

One.

Usually two, but sometimes three is needed. Depends on the Daughters and what they want. I always ask before season starts, what they think they want. miles

I only put up two small WT this year, but had a whole elk, so probably only needed one WT.

Good evening, I trust this finds you well.

While I'm cognizant you've asked about whitetails, we've averaged more mulies than whitetails over the years, so I'll answer in "deer" if that's okay.

When the girls were still at home and hunting, one year we ate 6 local bucks, but that was unusual even for us.

These days when it's just my wife and I giving venison to the kids when they visit, we'll average a wee bit less than 2 bucks a year.

All the best.

Normally put up 3.

5-6

Depending on size, my wife and I eat 2-3 caribou annually, with a few pounds of burger going to one son. The 3 of us got a big bull, a medium bull, and a yearling bull last year. It will be about gone by season (August 10)

If it was deer, it would likely be about 5-6.

If it is moose, about 1/2, but that was usually with a caribou or sheep thrown in.

One or two . About half the time one of them is a mulie or blacktail.

Myself, the GF and her two kids put 4 in the freezer last season (Muley buck, Whitetail buck, whitetail does). Can already see some of the shelves.

We prefer cat...



Deer... 4+/- (dogs get about 40% of that).

At least 4 just for the wife and I....and those are at least 150 lbs dressed bucks....I never add filler to the burger....

4 or 5 for our family of 3

One. At the most two.

2-3

One every two or three years; that's my success rate here in NH.

2...usually a buck and a doe

2-3
90% becomes jerky to be et throughout the year

1-2
