We need at least 3 but can eat as many as 5-6. Deer run a little small where I hunt though.
Always remember that you are unique, just like everyone else.

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
Look out for number 1, don't step in number 2.

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

RipSnort; 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.

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.
The only true cost of having a dog is its death.

We prefer cat... Deer... 4+/- (dogs get about 40% of that).
If you are not actively engaging EVERY enemy you encounter... you are allowing another to fight for you... and that is cowardice... plain and simple.
