Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Deer Hunting How many bucks have you killed?

don't no for years here you could kill 2 bucks a day in hunting season . bow/ml/gun

I killed my 150th blacktail this year. Of those more than half have been bucks. I was never good at keeping track of whitetails, but I’ve shot at least 40 of them, with maybe a third being bucks.

I head shot a button head this year and a dang nice one at that. It was with 4 does that I also shot in the head. About 1 out of every 20 does I kill end up being a button head. I hate shooting them but in reality you only lost one year.

I counted 40 odd set of horns in the house that ain’t spikes or 4pts

Ive killed upwards of 175-200 deer in my life with probably a third, maybe a tad more of those being bucks

How bout this since your asking post your pics I’ll post mine I doubt you’ll win

I have never really kept track. I have been hunting them for 52 years. Probably 40 to 50 Bucks and twice that many does. I have hunted them in 5 different states.

I'm not sure where you're going? I was being funny you know.

We can shoot one legal buck a year, which I've down since I was young. It's not like them boys down south. Between the cougars and the bears we have a whole lot less deer out west.

Earlybird gets a bit sensitive, if he feels he is being challenged...

We ain’t talkin fly rods here son

Lol.... Wright & McGill for the win....

I doubt I have killed anymore that 50 bucks. Probably well over 100 deer total. I spent most of my hunting early on in South Central and sw florida so there we hunted hogs and turkeys mostly.

From 1-4 a year of combined blacktail, mulies or whitetail bucks since 1955, never shot a doe or a "piss buck".

About 40

No idea.

Basket of antlers at Dads, his and mine.
Some in my shed.

Nicest one ever was a disappointment. I watched it head toward my daughter.
She didn't see it, the does spooked and it ran back past me.
I didn't let it go past that time. Most disappointing kill ever.
Look at the antlers in the rafters and think that every time.
Been hers, it would be on a plaque.

Salmonella: I also have harvested Blacktail, Whitetail and Mule Deer in my 62 years of Deer Hunting!
In the past I often Hunted 2 or 3 states a year for - I have harvested Deer in Utah, taxington, Oregon, Idaho, Wyoming and Montana.
Back in the 1960's and early 1970's a Hunter could harvest 2 Mule Deer Bucks each season in much of eastern Montana and I took full advantage of that.
I am certain I have brought to bag well over 100 Buck Deer in my Hunting career.
Never did seek out to Hunt female Deer.
Last 7 Deer I have brought home were Whitetail Bucks.
I want to get back into Hunting high plains Mule Deer this season.

I quit counting in 1991 when I killed #25.

Mid fiddy I’d guess.

We get one a year here in Oregon, two if you can swing an additional tag somehow, but I’m not well versed in that process.





P

Killed my first at age 17. That was 55 years ago.
Don't have an exact number, but I'd guess 60+.

I let many years of memories get away from me.i didn't start keeping a hunting journal until about '03 or '04.
I will suggest if you don't keep one now, start.
I encourage all young hunters I encounter to begin keeping a journal.
I often take my journal to the field with me. Scary what you can forget! 😳
I go back and read my older journals (I now have 4!) and I'm always amazed at the small, important details I had forgotten.
You don't have to rewrite "War and Peace", but a few details like weather, time of day, range, rifle etc, etc...

Probably 25 or so.

Somewhere between 40-45, only gone 1 or 2 years without and some years took 2 or 3. Mostly whitetail and one muley. I will say I pass up way more than I ever have in the last few years. Reached a point in life where I understand that the experience matters more to me than the kill.
