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

I've been hunting deer for over 60 years. I never kept track. All I can say is it's been a lot and they've all been mulies. We don't have whitetails here.

Low 20’s. Not a single one with a rifle

25 whitetail
1 muledeer
1 Axis

4 does

I have no idea. For the last 15+ years I only kill a buck a year. I won’t kill two bucks similar in size. So I normally back off. I’ll continue shooting does until I feel good with the amount of meat we have.

in PA it's probably around 35 or so bucks and i went to WV for 5 or 6 years and i killed 5 or 6 bucks. i can't keep count of how many does i have killed. i hunt for meat, not antlers.

Almost 40 years here. The last 15 have been a lot more selective than prior years. I’d guess 75 or so. I’ve got about 20 on the wall (mostly euro mounts)

3 whitetail bucks, rest were does.

Just enough to keep it interesting. Oh, and for my wife to proclaim, "no more dead deer heads on the walls!"

Been deer hunting a long time. I have some 17 Euro mounts and finally had one mounted regular style. Really can't say but somewhere around 60 or so. This includes Mulies, Blacktails and Whitetails.

I have a first gen Browning BLR .308 (with Bushnell Banner 1.75-4.5x20 scope) that I've killed 156 whitetail bucks with. I've killed another 55 whitetail bucks, +/- a couple, with various other rifles, shotguns, and muzzleloaders. And I've killed 3 pronghorn bucks.

My best conservative guesstimate is that I've killed around 70 whitetail does.

The great majority of these were killed in Alabama, where for decades we could kill a buck per day, or a buck and a doe per day.

Of all of these 210 +/- bucks, only about 20 or so of them are what I consider wall-hangers, although every one of them represents a memorable hunt.

🤣

Hound hunting for deer sounds cool!

Have any pictures to share Dog_hunter74?

I haven't kept track, but probably close to 50 bucks, all mule deer. Someday I'll have to hunt whitetails.

Not nearly as many does, as doe tags have been difficult to get in Oregon for quite a few years.

When I was younger I shot everything that was legal and I was happy now that I'm in my 40's I am very picky and o ly kill 2 bucks a year if I'm lucky

How many?
Heaven only knows!
Killed my first when I was 17. Last deer was '18....I think?
Had shoulder replacement surgery in 2019 and haven't killed a deer since. Buck OR doe!

Due to shoulder replacement, I had to switch from fixed action (bolt/falling block) to a semi auto (AR) to reduce recoil.
Hoping this year I'll get a chance to take another.

One time, I was thinking I had killed about a hundred or so.
Then I reread my journal.
Since 1967 when I killed my first, I've probably taken 50 to 60 deer, not all bucks! One muley and one antelope if those count.

Killed my first deer at age 9, 68 now. Hunt in SC low country. To date have killed better than 500. For years SC did not have a bag limit and I was killing 12 to 25 per season. I've backed off on the throttle now and only shoot 5-7 a season now.

All that I shot at !!!

Hip

107 Whitetails
37 with the BOW
12 With a crossbow
the rest with rifles and shotguns
And only around a dozen were Doe

this many plus some more and a couple hundred does

All I ate.
