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

Enough that I've quit counting.

Over 300.Killed first one at age 9 in 1963. For many years SC did not have a buck limit. Once reaching adulthood I really started hammering them. Dog hunting and still hunting. Most I ever killed in one season was 19(bucks & does). I'm 68 now and still hard at it.

That is a lot, 19 in one season? How did you legally tag 19 deer???

Somewhwere between 60-70, blacktail,mulies, and only 2 whitetail.

If we could pull some data out of this it would be very interesting.

I would guestimate around 15 whitetail bucks. About 2 10 p0ints, 3or 4 8 points & the rest were smaller. Around 10 or 12 does also.

Says no buck limit in SC for many years.

Isn't/wasn't Alabama a 1 buck a day season?

Yes, when I was growing up AL was unlimited bucks (1 per day) with no antler restrictions. At that time there were no "doe days" aside from the occasional Muzzleloader hunt on a WMA or a limited number of draws (pull tag from box at game check/Warden's station) morning of the hunt...you'd either draw buck only or either sex. During that time, you could legally kill 1 buck per day from mid-October (start of bow season) until the end of January (rifle season usually started mid Nov). If someone had the time and inclination they could have killed ~100 bucks a year.

A quick google check showed that 2007 was when the 3 buck limit was implemented. Currently most of the state has the majority of the season as either sex or the entire season either sex. So now, if someone had the time and inclination, they could kill ~100(+) does per year...and 3 bucks.

I'm 55 now and killed my first deer(7pt.) when I was 14. Got the bug really bad after that. I've probably killed 3 or more does for every buck through the years and not ashamed about killing them either. As long as its legal and doesn't have a fawn with it then I'll shoot a doe as quickly as I would a buck. That could be the reason I haven't killed more bucks! I shoot the first legal deer and can't wait to get to the camp and eat the back straps for supper! All total I know has to be slightly over 100. I kept records for years but stopped 20-25 years ago when the total was in the sixties. Most I ever killed was in a year where I hunted two states. That year I took 3 does and 7 bucks. That was one fun deer season!

I’ve never killed a real whopper, but I enjoy being out hunting, watching the sun come up.

up till a few years a go in FLA you could kill 2 bucks a day in bow/ml/gun . about 4 1/2 months . doe week you could kill 2 a day . at 2 a day limit is 120 plus for the year

I'm in my mid 40's and killed about 12-15 bucks, but none in the last 10 years. hunting opportunity has declined as kids got older.

A Bunch...Since Ga.is 2 Buck's A Year And If You Hunt The WMA's Hunts You Get Another Two Per Hunt .Over The Years I'd Say Somewhere Around 100 Give Or Take A Few..

Not near as many bucks as hogs!

Ya!

GWB

A bunch with a 5 yearly limit. I couldn’t even guess.


Good mature bucks? 12-15. I would have to go count.

This was two house down last week, I’d put a feeder up but pigs would be fuuucking up my yard soon after





Probably same buck, I’ll plant oats and wheat when it cools, have seen good bucks through the years

Street behind me

None.

I am a better hog hunter.

I like killing them SOB’s too

I have been deer hunting since november of 1974 and I myself have wondered that same question. when I was a youngster I hunted in lower missouri along the arkansas boarder with my uncle that drove a milk truck in the general area. He always had a long list of very old or very poor people that we would kill deer for. some really needed what we gave them to make it . I do remember the most I killed in one year was 27 and he killed 29 . we had a blst but sure could have gotten in a lot of trouble. I learned to shot a deer on the run out the passenger window of his truck . none of that stuff would fly these days no matter what you were doing to feed people .

It's a pleasure to me that other people
are killing those stinky hairy vandals.
I'd have to work hard to do the kind of
damage they do with ease
