Lifetime, obviously. I realize it'll be different for those who have only been hunting for a few years. Flawed poll, not everyone was brought up hunting, I take that for granted.

I never kept count but guessing by how many years I'm hunting I'll be in the 50+ category.

If I read that correctly, and I'm not sure I do, I wouldn't advertise that you're taking more than 5.

I think he stated "Most include Exotics" or he could be hunting MLD places also. The only limit there is permits issued.

MLD

I have a buddy that did MLD doe hunts for years he would shoot 10 deer a hunt 2 times a day multiple times a year. That's 20+/- deer a day a couple times a year plus his normal hunting.

If he is including exotics I would think he would be fine since you can shoot them whenever. The question is how many of those are whitetail

Using MLD tags. I've taken 28 in 1 season.

I killed 68 in one season on a MLD lease I had. Mainly because we had 6 other members who pledged to cull but only wanted to hunt trophies. If you think that sounds fun, you should try it sometime. Don't know that I've ever worked harder. No idea how many I've killed in my lifetime. But it's in the many hundreds.

Using MLD I have taken over 130 in a 5 month MLD season and my lifetime total is a lot.

I hunt MLD, so I fully get it, but:

This guy was a first-year hunter that asked a ton of questions last year. While he may have access to an MLD place I am betting that he didn't. His statement that 'I shoot for them' implies maybe he tagged his deer with their tags. 'Most include Exotics' is not very clear, either. If I took 15 deer off MLD I would likely mention that in my post.

I'm on lower end, even though I've hunted for more years than I like to admit. Now add turkeys to the mix while in stands and I'm guessing I've shot 50+. Truthfully, I enjoy hunting turkey more than deer, and given a choice between a gobbler and a doe, the turk goes every time. Plus, I am the only venison lover in my house, so 1 deer a year will usually last between seasons.

Guess everyone has their own style, preferences, and opportunities, but what really counts is how much pleasure can be found sitting in a blind when the sun comes up (or goes down) and watching nature, whether you shoot or not. Funny, I spend many hours every year filling feeders, planting food plots, pulling cam pics, cutting trails, scouting, etc., and then have a year like 2015 when I saw deer at every sit, and never fired. I still wouldn't trade a minute of the prep or hunt!

I have been hunting for 26 years, 9 of those were public land only. In 26 years, I've killed 10 deer. There's been years where I've had intentions of shooting a deer but I've found myself just sitting there enjoying watching and enjoying the solitude and peace. To me, it's not always the kill that makes a season, its memories made with my dad and on duck hunts with my friends.

I haven't killed a deer in over 10 years. I think my kids combined now have more than I do. Thinking once they're out of the house I'll start pulling the trigger again. Until then my job is that of outfitter and guide. Wouldn't have it any other way.

I agree.. Just a few months ago he was asking basic hunting questions and was just getting started. Now he's killing 15 a yr... Fast learner.. Born killer..

What I wanna know is what is considered "a lot of deer"?

20, 30, 40, 100?

My deer per season went way down in the last two years. Last year I didn't shoot a whitetail at all



For it is not the quarry that we truly seek, but the adventure.

Your friends dont hunt so u shoot for them as well? So you take your limit then turn around and use your friends tags to kill more?? Just curious where are you from?
