Legally I could harvest 5, I normall take 3 unless someone asks me for meat. Three will keep me and my wife fed all year. The only way I will take a big buck is if it is larger than what I already have on a wall, if not it is spikes and does.

I took three last year, 2 does and a buck. I wouldn't mind filling all 5 of my tags, becasue I'll eat it every day.

I'd love to help take more if you need the help!

Back on Topic:

I usually take what I can @ Camp Bullis....(if I see it) Last couple years have been ok...1 buck and 2 doe, however the growing boys around my house have pretty much already cleaned the freezer from these!

4 deer if they don't change it, an i can afford my liesence this year ops thought it asked how many can u take

Lookin' for 1 Buck. Almost as happy to shoot a cull as anything. Maybe a couple of Doe from Comal or Somervell counties.

I follow county laws first and foremost. I'm a college student who eats everything I harvest - minus predators. The cost of my lease is very reasonable, creating a perfect get away (only 20 mins away) and food source.

One buck with atleast 4 points on one side and unlimited does. Just have to buy a seperate tag for each doe.

We ate 4 by the beginning of March. I personally have not killed a deer in 10 years. Now that the boys have two on the wall, the old man might just have to show them up.lol By the time I get done skinning and quartering our guest's deer I don't have the inclination to get one myself.

Unrepentant trophy hunter here. Zero to one buck annually.

The legal limit if it present's itself.

I will KILL the legal limit.

I HARVEST crops with my combine.

On my lease I'll take a mature 8 or better and a doe. If I see an older spike then I will take him out as well.

six

No more than 3 deer

Me, most likely none. Joshua and Haley do most of the killing now days.

Over the last few years I have slowly stopped liking deer hunting as much. Last year, I felt nothing when I shot a doe. So, I am probably done with deer hunting for a while.

Shot 1 last year. I usually try for a few. I'll shoot the nicest one I can eat. My trophy is when I can cut into a butterflied backstrap while thinking about another year I was able to hunt with my dad.

I try and get 2 does for meat and wait on the big boy.

A couple of does, usually during bow season. A nice buck if I see one that fits the bill- that's been two in 8 years.

the wife and I take 3 to 4 for our freezer and we usually get one to two for friends.

we're in a 5 deer county with a one buck limit per our landowner.

If I get the opportunity ill fill all my tags. I usualy take care of the doe tags first thing in bow season. and also have hunting spots in 3 different counties that are all less than 9 miles away from my house. but usualy ill only take 2 doe and one buck.. try and stay at a 4yr old minimum on bucks...and I get distracted by duck season

GLC, I like your way of thinking.

I shoot one a year usually. I have not seen a legal buck in five years so just does

I'm a meat hunter, but I hunt on public land, so I consider any deer I shoot there to be a trophy. Last fall I shot a little doe and I bragged about it more than you guys who shot giant B&C bucks. If I can repeat that feat this year, I'll be happy.

Harrier,

I understand what your talking about! I hunted public land for a lot of years! When the kids were little that's all I could afford! I hunted Davy Crocket Nat'l forest and a lot of timber co. land until they turned it into type II. I hunted type II a 3-4 years until it just got too dangerous. Last time was in Anderson county. I was up in a ladder blind I had put up and just when I got settle about 4-6 rounds in quick succession flew over my head...I climbed down real fast and sat at the bottom of my stand until I was pretty sure the hunting/shooting was over and I took off and never looked back!

You are correct though, any anything you take on public land is a trophy!
